Scepter USA 6792 Duramax 14 Gallon Flo-N-Go Fuel Caddy

I love these fuel cells. I now have 6 of these, 4 for gasoline, and two for diesel. I recently purchased a compact tractor that runs on diesel and needed fuel cells to have on the ranch to fill it. They are really convenient and if hoisted a bit make gravity your friend. I already had gasoline ones for my previous tractor, lawn mower, and generator. That is why I bought the same brand. They are tough, easy to use, and handy storage units for fuel. The hoses could be a better quality, a bit stiff in my opinion and the pump lever lock is a pain to use.

First, the people complaining about this not working dont understand gravity. It is not pressurized and the outlet at the bottom of the tank and the lowest point of the hose must be higher than the top of your container or it wont work. The higher you place it the more pressure it will flow with. It is not fast but its a lot easier to hold the squeeze handle of the dispenser than hold up a full five gallon tank of diesel to fill my tractor. I mounted a heavy duty hook and built a heavy duty shelf so that the weight of this (little over 100lbs full) is split between the hook and shelf. I lift it full from the back of the truck to the hook with pallet forks on the tractor. The first one I received had a leak at the factory hose crimp. I contacted the company through Amazon and they promptly sent a replacement hose with no hassle at no charge. The second hose does not leak a drop. I like it enough I'm going to buy its red cousin.

Does the job and holds more fuel than the portable gas cans. Downside is that it gets very heavy when filling and squeezing the trigger to get the fuel out gets tiring. Propping up on a higher surface does help allow the gas flow once the flow has been started. But it is easy to use. I think I saw one that had an electric pump on it… I would maybe consider buying that one versus the manual pump.

I found that I can fully load this with diesel but I don't directly lift it I tilt it into the back of a minivan and then only lift one end and slide it in. For those people who say you should put a piece of wood under the top end when filling I would not recommend it. This overfills the container so if you set it up right and take the cap off liquid is going to come out. Some people want to overfill their gas tanks on their car and all the manufacturers say don't top off well this item is the same lay it down flat fill it up take it home that half gallon that you don't get in it to it isn't going to matter that much and you will be happier using it. I added the TERRA electric pump to this and it is a perfect combination.

I almost never leave reviews - I ordered this in December, but due to unforeseen circumstances could not return it by February 1. Filled the tank with 10 gallons of diesel, set the tank about 5 feet off the ground on a shelf, opened the vent and both ball valves and started pumping the pump handle to fill my Kubota L2502. Not a drop came out. I then put a jerry can on the floor and tried again, and not a single drop came out of the hose even though the entire hose was below the tank. Total waste of money. I have since bought a Vevor 30 gallon hand pump caddy - haven’t had one issue with it in 2 months. I really wanted the 14 gallon portable diesel tank to work, because it is the perfect size to move around.
