Abstract
A siphon priming device that may be releasably and sealingly connected with a first fluid container and usable to cause a liquid to be transferred from the first container into a second fluid container.

The first container may comprise a liquid fuel can and the second container may comprise a fuel tank of a motorized vehicle, e.g., boat, car, ATV, cart, plane, motorcycle, etc. In use, the siphon priming device enables simple, rapid, and safe transfer of liquid fuel from a fuel can into a motorized vehicle.
