Just stick in a handle of a plastic spoon or similar and then pour in the dry gas.

I use a plastic chopstick to keep the flap open for yourself.

chopsticks can fall into the gas tank.... I recommend tying a hubcap to one end like gas stations do to the bathroom keys

I stick a large screw driver in there,I would be afraid the dry gas will melt some plastic.
