I have a set of pliers made specifically for pinching off hoses, I suggest you invest in a pair.

Who cares if you over fill the 5 gallon container? Are you going to be transporting the fuel somewhere? You can easily see the fuel level rise in the tank.

It is pretty quick.

Ah, I just had an idea... you could put a valve there like your water spigot outside to slow the rate of fuel coming out
