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, Gasoline Only, Red

Super sized gas pump caddy for garage that holds large capacity fuel & streamlines refilling lawn tractors, snow blowers or any outdoor equipment that requires gas. My husband is in love with this caddy!

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.

This works pretty well, but set up did not go as easily as I hoped. Despite the fact, I had tightened the hose onto the tank. It came off and spilled gas all over.

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!

I use this for a PWC. I need to move it to the dock to fill up. I strap it to a hand truck, as the wheels are not suitable for a rough lawn. I suppose you could drag it. Wheels works ok on a flat surface, like concrete or a dock. No ding for this, as I would rather have smaller wheels so it is a smaller package to store in a corner. And I already had a hand truck with big wheels. I lift the tank up to a bench seat on the dock, and use gravity to fill the tank. Having it up higher than the item to fill is obviously a must, for gravity fill. Most people might have difficulty lifting a tank this size, as 14 gallons of gas is fairly heavy. I can't see filling a PWC or larger boat tank with the pumping motion of the handle. That would be quite the hand exercise. As is, it takes a >5 minutes to fill my PWC. Gas comes out in a dime size stream. So not super fast. Check into a pump assisted tank if you are weak and in a hurry. I like that the tank has a shutoff for the hose, and the tank. The handle still dribbles a little gas if you aren't careful. Just a few drops so far. Its best to lay the tank down after use, raise the handle hose, then flip the shutoffs after your are done. I do like that the cap has a vent screw. That is a nice feature. I have banged it around moderately, no leaks.

I purchased this Gas Caddy 5 months ago and have used it monthly while fueling our boat, and other gas powered items. The Pros: -Easily able to transport gas from the garage to the dock, around the garage and so forth. Wheels are sturdy when it rolls through our thick Florida grass and over rocks without issue. -The cap secures tightly, petcock valve is easy to turn, hose is sturdy and has a nice length, pump handle fits nicely in your hand and pumps quite well. -It pumps at a decent rate for a siphon pump. (Yes, its a siphon [gravity fed] pump. So make sure that the bottom outlet on the Caddy is higher than what you're pumping into or you'll only get a small pump full of fuel every time its pumped. Which could take quite some time to fuel) -It's made of durable hard plastic, and feel much thicker than other ordinary gas containers. -The pressure/purge safety valve on the cap works as it should when the Caddy is over pressured -Handle makes it easy to maneuver and lift. *Lay it flat on its back on the ground to fill it up. There is a mark on the front which indicates when it has reached 14 gal. DO NOT OVER FILL. If you do and place it up right the fuel will steadily leak from the pressure/purge valve. Add heat to vapor expansion which in turn adds pressure to the tank and you'll have a mess in no time. Worse in a non ventlated confined space like a garage or sealed shed. The Cons: -The green safety stop on the handle makes it difficult to pump at times, as the use of both hands are required while priming or manual pumping. - It doesn’t have a handle lock once it's flowing as on ordinary pumps do to allow continuous flow of fuel. You must keep the handle squeezed once you've successfully primed the siphon and fuel is flowing, to keep the fuel flowing. This can be tiresome at times depending on stance for fueling and grip strength. I use a small double sided velcro strap to secure the handle in the up or squeezed position while its fueling. -There is no safety stop once the fuel has reached the pump handle. The handle has to be released to stop the flow of fuel. -There always seems to be about 1 gal. of gas remaining on the bottom after fueling has stopped, and no matter how many times you pump the handle, or what angle the Caddy is positioned you can not retrieve that fuel. (I checked the internal hose in mine which appears to be a bit short to reach in one or another corner.) While it says 14 I can only retrieve 13. Pictures are attached. The Caddy itself is quality made and I've made recommendations to many others in our residential boating community for an easy and safe way to fuel their vessels. I am giving 3 stars as I always have fuel remaining in the Caddy that I can not retrieve without creating a large mess, and sometimes that last gallon makes the difference. Perhaps this is just an issue with the one I have however, I do not have another Gas Caddy to compare it to which could make this a 5 star product. Overall product works well and as it should.

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!
