Scepter Duramax Flo ’N Go 14 Gallon Gas Caddy, 53 Liter Portable Fuel Tank and Fuel Transfer Pump with 10-Foot Hose for Lawn Mower, Farm, Marine, Commercial, and Home Use, Red

Really great I would definitely recommend the battery operated one despite the increase in price. Unless you’re okay with having sore forearms. I was able to pour 15 gallons and pump 14 into my car. No leaks so far. The smell of gasoline can be overwhelming if you have it in your car.

I'm really glad I bought this. I use it to fill my riding mower and push mower. It was easy to fill at the gas station. I only filled it to 10 gallons the very first time to make sure I could lift it easily into the back of my SUV (the instructions said it should be taken out of the vehicle and placed lying down on the ground to fill - which seems like a good idea). I had no problem hefting it up into the car, but, especially if filled to max, I could see how some smaller folks might have a harder time (I'm 6 feet tall). So, if you can't lift 14 gallons of fluid by yourself, either don't fill it all the way, or take someone with you to help you. I have no problem using it, either. Loosen the air/vent valve, and open the two ball valves at the bottom (one for the tank, the other for the hose). As another reviewer said, it's easier if you lay it on its back to do this, then stand it up. Takes all of ten seconds. Simply reverse the process when you're done to get it ready to store. You might want to close the ball valves first, then finish pumping out whatever small amount might still be in the hose itself. You do have to actually pump the handle, which does require both hands, since you have to also hold in the little safety button. A bit annoying, but, hey, you're probably using this to fill up smaller engines like mowers and whatnot. You're probably not using it to fill your car or truck. So, you might have to switch hands while filling if you get tired. Since the gas gets pumped out in little batches, it might splash, rather than just smoothly pour, so you might want to be sure that the end of the spout is really inside the tank, or filling along the side or something, to minimize splash-back. Took only a second or two to see how to do it on my mowers. The wheels are not rubber or anything fancy like that. They're just plastic disks. But, I generally don't need to roll it more than just a few feet. I roll it just out of garage, pump it, then roll it the few feet back in. I'm not dragging it around like rolling luggage through an airport. So, it's not a magical device. The fact that it holds a lot of gas also means (when full) it will be on the heavy side. The fact that it's a manually-operated device means you burn a couple of calories using it, rather than flipping a switch or something. But it does what it is supposed to do, and it works great for me. I've had no problems with it, and would recommend it. UPDATE - 26 November, 2014 The pump handle/nozzle assembly recently broke. I called the company (Scepter), and for $20, they sent me a replacement. Swapping the handles was easy. So, while I would have preferred to have had the one moving part on this tank be constructed more sturdily, it was easily fixed when it finally broke.

I've had this tank since December in an attempt to try and take advantage of the grocery store fuel perks in my area. It has worked to help maximize the amount of gas I can get at each fill up (usually 30-35 gallons per fill). That is about the only real positive thing I can say about this tank. 1. It is extremely cumbersome to move about. Half the time the wheels don't even turn and even after I loosen them, they tend to tighten themselves back up over time. 2. The pouring valve/pump handle is biblically slow! Forget about hand pumping. Not even a 14 year old boy with a subscription to Penthouse has the hand stamina to pump all the fuel out of this thing in one session (not that it's even possible to get all of the fuel out with the pump) So gravity feed it is, once you get the tank in position to use the earths gravitational pull, it's time to get out the sun dial and some Sta-bil. That's right! The fuel will most likely go bad before you can even get it out of the tank. This is with the vent full open on the fill cap too. 3. I hope you like gas on you hands/cloths/floor or everywhere else you don't want or intend it to be. I've used this tank about 10 times and tried many different methods and I cannot fill anything without spilling at least a little bit somewhere. The ball valves are all very good, but the placement of the valves and the hand pump mechanism make it nearly impossible to not spill some gas when taking it apart to put away. 4. All of the previous things could maybe be overlooked if it wasn't for the most glaring and horrible thing about this tank. YOU CAN'T GET ALL OF THE FUEL OUT OF IT! Well, that's actually a false statement. You can get the last 2 or so gallons out if you take off the fill cap and turn it upside-down over a bucket or something with a wide mouth. Then you've got 2 gallons of gas in a bucket. There is absolutely no way with the included items to get that last 2 gallons out without using the bucket method. So, I learned the hard way. I didn't want to have to carry around three 5 gallon tanks so I bought this. Well, the jokes on me. The 3 jugs would have been cheaper, cleaner, easier to handle, and able to use all 15 gallons of their combined capacity.

Nice, thick UHMW plastic tank. Quality fittings. I bought it because it has wheels and a filler hose. I'm getting old, and my 5 gal. tanks are a pain to carry and lift up to fill my mower. This caddy makes the chore much easier. To re-fill, I load the empty caddy into my pickup bed laying down and secure it with a bungee. I usually add only 12-13 gallons to keep it from splashing gas into my truck bed. The worst things are the hose nozzle and the wheels. The former seems a bit flimsy, but is very cheap to replace with a metal nozzle if it ever breaks. Who knows, it may last for years. The wheels are a bit small and thin, but work OK. However, the axle is 1/2" too short. To fully engage the nylock axle nuts on the wheels, they have to be rubbing the wheels, and that causes the wheels to skid instead of roll. My easy solution is to reverse the nylock nuts, screwing on the nylon side first. The tank weighs about 100# full, which is too heavy to lift up on a platform for gravity feed. So I popped the air vent out of the filler cap, and popped in a tubeless tire valve, removing the "guts". I pump it up with an empty garden sprayer pump (1-2 PSI) and it works great. I do not recommend doing this with any pump that creates more than 3-4 PSI, which the gasoline generates anyway. I recommend this tank, it sure is easy to roll from my mower shed to my pickup, and to load and unload using ramps. Good riddance to my pair of 5-gallon torture devices known as gasoline tanks. I highly recommend this 14 gal. rolling caddy/tank with filler hose. 4.5 stars out of 5! UPDATE: I got rid of the filler handle/valve. I just use the plain hose end, which I plug up with a stopper and clip on to the mower tank. A few quick pumps from my garden sprayer fills my 1.5 gal. mower tank lickety-split with no splash and no gas smell on my hands or clothing. The normal gasoline vapor that builds up inside the caddy almost makes enough pressure to where it doesn't need a pump assist!

This is a great company. I bought the gas pump system and started using it but the hand pump failed after pumping about 2 gallons of gas. The set up a return. I drained the tank but it still had fuel and vapor in it and no carrier will take it like that. They refunded my money and advised to do whatever I wanted with the pump. I still have it but I got a new pump and will use the old for parts. The second pump works great. One squeeze of the manual pump handle pumps about a water bottle in fuel. Gravity is a bit slower unless you get the tank pretty high up. I have an electric hoist I use to lift the tank to a high shelf. It delivers very well by gravity from there. Getting and handling fuel is relatively easy. 14 gallons of fuel is heavy but, filling with an SUV or pickup truck works well. I lay it flat while filling in the vehicle. To remove, I lower it wheels first to the ground. If done correctly, you never have the full weight on the handle. It moves OK with the plastic wheels and handle but lowering it into a wagon, lawn mower trailer or similar works great. I use mine to get non-ethonol 90 fuel for all my gas run equipment and classic cars. This fuel lasts longer before it gets cloudy, sticky and starts clogging carbs and lines. If mine ever breaks or fails, I'd order a replacement quickly!

Filling up the Lawn Mower, Generator etc has always been a pain in the you know what... I just chucked 6, 5 gallon fuel cans and replaced them with these. Immediately i noticed that the plastic used appears to be thicker than the standard 5 gallon cans... in my opinion, these are high quality, easy to maneuver, and both fit in the trunk easily for filling them up. The filler hose is removable but i wouldn't recommend it. There is a valve where the hose plugs in so if you remove the hose, fuel will not start spilling out... only the stuff in the hose if u used it without draining it all the way... also wouldn't recommend removing the fuel tank from the vehicle to fill it, unless you can pick it up to load it back into your vehicle... make sure you place a towel or something under it just in case you spill any... the cap has a screw in breather valve you can't see in the images... but you can completely close when transporting it in a trunk so it doesn't splash or create excess fumes that can explode if you aren't careful.. make sure that's shut all the way when transporting... the fumes are absolutely combustible and if it's in a trunk and you have a loos wire or something and leave the valve on the cap open... that can be a pretty bad day for you.... now for why you checked out my review... A gallon of unleaded gas weighs approx 5.775lbs.(87 octane) X 14 gallons =80.85lbs of fuel + the can which is 19.91lbs = 100.76lbs. The weight is slightly higher for higher octane gas so if you are running 100 octane race fuel which is a little over 7lbs per gallon, it will weigh a total of about 120lbs full... hence the wheels on the bottom are more than just for convenience... they will become more necessary as you fill it up. I'm 5'10" and standing next to it, my palm is the perfect length to the handle so even tilting it onto the wheels is comfortable to walk with it full and as long as it's balanced on the wheels, not too far forward or backward, it feels very light to move the fuel from one spot to another... obviously the further it's tilted, the heavier it feels... but i bought 2 and plan on buying 2 more so what does that tell you as far as my confidence in the product?

I own several of these and just ordered another three from Amazon. If I had allowed some of these reviews to influence my initial decision, I would never have purchased my first one. Examples of some of the reviews that I would like to refute: > It's heavy: Sheesh! It holds FOURTEEN GALLONS, not ONE GALLON. Guess what happens when you ADD GALLONS - The weight INCREASES > The valves are a knuckle buster: Sheesh! Lay the caddy on its back, a perfectly legal position. Then with the valves easily accessible, you can attach the hose and turn on both valves. THEN stand the caddy upright. Doing this will eliminate damaging your knuckles on the pavement. (Does not apply if you are known for your mental prowess as a "Knuckle Dragger" > No flow if not elevated: It is NOT a service station (old term) with electrical power. It is a GRAVITY FEED and liquid flows DOWNHILL. Yes, you can pump the handle, as I have done many times. The entire caddy can be emptied in less than TEN MINUTES using the pump feature of the handle. If you have a medical condition, you probably won't be able to pump the gas. If you have no medical condition and can't pump the gas, you really need to also purchase a membership at a fitness center. I am 63-years old and I read how some of the KIDS can't do something as simple as pump the gas without having 911 on standby. I guess those video games exercise only the thumb and index finger. The entire hand is required for this product. Simply put, this is a great item for the price and if used CORRECTLY. -- A Caveman Can Do It! UPDATE: MIT Installation Instructions: 1) Open box and remove caddy 2) Install large black cap, which screws on 3) Install hose, which has the SAME fitting as a garden hose, so it merely screws on 4) Install hose hanger with ONE washer and ONE nut, which is supplied 5) Complete enclosed card and mail to receive your Honorary Engineering Degree from MIT.

I recently bought my two children ATV's and along with my commercial Ex-Mark mower, and a few other gas-powered products, I needed a bigger gas tank than my 5 gallon one. I was constantly running to the gas station to fill my 5 gallon tank up and was getting tired of it. Not to mention constantly having to pick it up to pour the gas in everything. This tank works great. The first thing I did was build a shelf to store it on. I simply used the space between my two garage doors and built the shelf 3 1/2 ft high. Since the tank is gravity fed, I needed it higher than everything I was pouring it into. It works perfect. It has a vent attached to the cap that you can unscrew to increase the flow rate. I found the flow rate to be just perfect for what I'm putting the gas into. The hose is 10 ft long, so it makes filling up my equipment super easy. When you are done, you simply coil up the hose on the hook on the side of the tank and you're done. All of the fittings, the hose, tank and pump are good quality . I love this tank. When it's full, it's a little heavy and takes a little effort to get it on my shelf, but, once it's there, I have atleast 3-4 weeks of gas for all of our equipment. I will note, if you are using this to fill up a boat or something with a much bigger tank, the flow rate may be a little slow, but for everything I use it for, it's superb. It has now been a couple months after writing the original review and I need to revise it. The plastic clamp attached to the hose where it connects to the tank came off and it started leaking. This does NOT make me happy and it shouldn't have happened. I replaced the plastic clamp with a new steel hose clamp and I hope this fixes the problem. I really wanted this tank to work well and not have any problems after reading other's reviews about leaks and so forth. The tank needs better quality fittings and it would work fine. I am going to take 2 stars off this review now.

Funcional

Arrivato imballato male, senza istruzioni.Riempito di gasolio, al primo utilizzo la pistola non funzionava. Svuotato con sifone,un disastro gasolio ovunque. avviata pratica di reso. Non lo consiglio proprio, non si può vendere prodotti del genere. Se non mi restituiranno i soldi non comprerò mai più nulla su amazon

Bonne contenance et pratique à utiliser ... la pompe est par contre perfectible car cela se désamorce ...

Great fuel transfer for the boat.....helps me avoid paying the crazy cost of fuel at the marina without having to use a bunch of jerry cans. Works as advertised and I would take those negative reviews with a grain of salt......as I always say "you can't fix stupid". Sure it takes about 10min to empty it but you can't expect a gravity fed system to work like a gas station pump. I suggest that if possible you make sure the tank is higher than what you are fueling to help the process. For those who say that it's heavy, what did you expect when you filled it with 50+ liters of gas?
