5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for me. Recommended.
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, 2014The 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.
5.0 out of 5 stars What does this gas can weigh when it's full of fuel? Here's your answer.
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?
Very well constructed
Used to ensure we had enough fuel to travel across country. Needed to be vented daily to reduce pressure in tank. Worked fantastic to refuel truck. Used now in garage to fill lawn tractor and snowblower.
Bueno
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
Plutot bien ...
Bonne contenance et pratique à utiliser ... la pompe est par contre perfectible car cela se désamorce ...
Fahrbarer Benzinzapfstelle
Preis Leistung sehr gut

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 Bolo
