A plastic bag of flat, frusto-conical form has an open upper end formed to receive a filling nozzle and to serve as a funnel when the bag is being emptied, and a carrier handle has three arms for receiving the upper end of the bag with the bag forming a loop which extends about a first handle arm and is frictionally locked on a second arm, a third arm preventing leakage or back surge from the bag, and the narrower open end of the mouth of the bag being fully sealed by a wider lower portion of the bag mouth.

A container for the manual emergency transportation of a small quantity of fuel by a vehicle operator, comprising: a pair of thin, flexible sheet members having a substantially trapezoidal surface configuration, said sheet members overlying one another, the edges of said sheets bonded together by a marginal seal which extends throughout substantially the entire length of the respective sides and base of said trapezoidal sheets but not the top thereof, the upper portion of said bonded pair of sheet members, removed from said base seam, forming a cone, truncated at said top, when said container is filled with fuel and inverted, the open truncated top of said cone being large enough to receive the standard nozzle used at filling stations for supplying fuel to said bag, the weight of fuel included in said container during use being progressively applied through said trapezoidal sheet members to said top when said container is carried, said top of said trapezoidal sheets sized to permit said top, when placed in the fill opening of an automobile when said container is inverted, to expand against said opening to form a tight fit with said opening to prohibit fuel leakage and thereby operate as a sealed funnel for the included fuel during discharge from the container; and a handle including a grip portion adapted to be hand held by said operator and a sealing portion, said sealing portion including a gripping surface for frictionally engaging said flexible sheet members adjacent the top of said trapezoidal surfaces; said top of said trapezoidal sheets wrapped around said sealing portion of said handle to press said pair of sheets adjacent said top against one another in sealing engagement between said gripping portion of said handle and a portion of said sheets removed from said top, so that the weight of said included fuel seals said top of said sheets together when said container is manually carried.
