Claim 0:
1. A fuel container comprises:
a body for receiving fuel, the body has a handle and a dog-leg inlet with a neck that extends upwards, the dog-leg inlet presenting two different angles with respect to an upper surface of the body and has a threaded collar which is closable by a threaded cap, a length of the neck from an opening of the neck to the upper surface of the body defines a guide for receiving and orienting both legs of a dog-leg fuel dispenser nozzle in order to prevent the dog-leg fuel dispenser nozzle from twisting when fully inserted in the neck; and
a shoulder, defined by a junction with material forming the handle and a throat region where the neck narrows, is provided to define an end stop in a lower leg of the dog-leg inlet, against which an upper leg of the dog-leg fuel dispenser nozzle rests when inserted in the neck;
the guide and the shoulder orient and locate the lower leg and the upper leg of the dog-leg fuel dispenser nozzle, at a preselected distance within the neck, so that an upper surface of liquid fuel dispensed in the fuel container causes a shutoff mechanism to trigger at a predefined volume of dispensed fuel.
