I've seen a couple of hangar fires caused by de-fueling.
The common denominator was plastic funnels and cans.
Metal woudl be strongly advised.

I used to carry 5 gal jugs in the car and then used a pump to transfer
to the plane. However, that was back when I could buy FAA legal mogas.
Today the cans sit in my garage.

Ditto here...an old section of carpet as a pad over the wing, and squareish gas cans, allowed me to put the can on the
pad, put my thumb over the spigot, and then tip the can over and place the spigot in the fuel neck, then pull my thumb
away. Pop the air vent plug and let the can drain. Never any problem, until all the so-called gasoline around here
turned out to be contaminated with alcohol...
