Scepter Duramax Flo ’N Go 14 Gallon Gas Caddy, 53 Liter Fuel Tank, Red

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 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.

Upgraded my review from 3-star to 4-star, due to the customer service Bought this in September 2022, I mow a large patch of land and usually have to put 2 tanks in the mower each time I mow. Bought this thinking it would be much easier to use than the 3-5gal cans I had been using and more portable than the 30gal steel drums I typically use on a gravity fill setup. The good: the tank itself, is air/liquid tight and well made. Haven't had issues with it deforming and wheels coming off like others have reported yet. with the handle and finger grips, I don't have much trouble loading and unloading it, even when full (I am a big guy). If you leave it in the sun while mowing then you can get pretty good flow rate from the pressure before venting The Bad: the hose kinks very easily, especially at the end where it screws to the tank, just as others had reported. For as much as these cost, you'd think they'd fix such a common issue, but no luck. Siphon/gravity is slow unless pressurized either through natural heating or artificial pressure (some have added tire valves and pump to 1-2psi). The handle has no hold open so unless you want to sit for several minutes (slow fill rate) you need to prop it open so you (gas cap, rubber band, tape, etc) The ugly: The handle leaks like a sieve after a few uses, not including using it as a pump, just in siphon mode, which should mean less wear on the bulb inside the handle. Not as bad as spilling with the "no spill" spouts, but enough that your hands and probably feet will be soaked with gas by the time you get filled up. Have requested warranty repair since it is still within a year of purchase (9/2022-6/2023). I entered a warranty request and within an hour I had a reply that they were sending a replacement. I hope the replacement holds up better, but gotta say I was pretty impressed with the quick, positive answer

The DuraMax Flo ‘n Go is excellent for holding fuel at home for items like: Gasoline Lawn Tractor (which we have), jet skis, motorcycles, cars or trucks, etc. It holds 14 gallons and I filled it up the other day with 10 gallons for my first fill since Christmas time when we got one off Amazon! I wanted to check for leaks on the first fill up and nothing leaked from any attachment or connection. So far it has worked as promised. The hand held nozzle has to be pumped to get gas flowing but it’s pretty fast and it fills up a small lawn tractor gas tank (2 gallons or so) within 1 or 2 minutes if that once the flow is going! Excellent tool to hold some gas on-site when needing gasoline vs getting 2 or 5 gallons based on smaller containers that always leak and spill or the nozzle breaks! This is going to be by go to container from now on vs the cheap 2 or 5 gallon containers! I’m selling my extra small containers to pay for this item. It’s only worth $60 not what I paid at $106 but I did get free shipping so the $106 is somewhat worth it. 5 out of 5 stars because of no leaks and the pump is excellent. No waste of fuel spilling or very minimal spillage like drops vs spoonfuls!

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 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 waited a while to review this because I wanted to use it some before reviewing it because when it arrived and I opened it the wheels wouldn't roll. The axle is threaded on both ends with a lock nut on each end but it seems to be about a half inch to short so if you try to back off either lock nut so the wheels roll, one of the lock nuts will spin and fall off. I figured when it had fuel in it the wheels would probably spin and maybe break in. So I took it and filled it and the wheels did turn with fuel in it however it still does not roll very well and if it's not a smooth surface it is even worse. But I can deal with that. It wasn't to long after I got it that one of the hose clamps fell off and it started leaking, I replaced the clamp and took care of the leak. I think if the axle was longer it would roll much easier. If you are filling small fuel tanks like a push mower several times a day this might work well for you, If you are filling your push mower 1 or 2 times each week or so it should work OK for you however till you burn through 14 gallons chances are the ethanol will separate before you use all the fuel. If you are planning on fueling larger riding mowers it will probably work OK for you also, however it's not very fast and you will get a good workout squeezing the pump handle a few hundred times. If your filling a large fuel tank, you would be better off getting one of the metal rolling gas containers with and power or hand crank pump. They cost more however they will save you a lot of time and I think the wheels are larger so they should roll better. Because of the issue with the axle/wheels, the hose clamp falling apart, and the time it takes to transfer fuel I would not recommend this product.

Great product quality made this is for anyone who has generator and lawn equipment

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 ...

Preis Leistung sehr gut

Esta muy bien lo malo es que no tiene una bomba para impulsar el combustible tiene que car por su peso y por ese precio bien la podría traer
