Customer Reviews for VEVOR Fuel Caddy Portable Fuel Storage Tank 14 Gallon On-Wheels with Pump

Purchased this unit to provide fuel to my equipment. It has a great pump that will pump out 28 gallons in no time. It does not hold the 32 gallons does it is advertised. Overall, it is a great fuel transfer to your equipment.

I see a lot of negative ratings for this product, but I love mine. I’ve had it for 6 weeks. I live a few miles from fuel and have a Cat skid steer for snow removal. I toss the tank empty into the bed of my truck, and lift it out full with the Cat….weighs about 300 lbs full. This pumps very very fast. It could empty its full contents in about 2 minutes. The hose doesn’t wind up real well…doesn’t bother me. It does seem to hold about 30 gallons. Maybe 35 if you laid it on its back and filled the handle….so count on 30 gallons. The alternative is having 6 heavy, dirty, cans to store and pour by hand. For me, this is a great alternative.

We bought a camper and get a dollar off of gas at Krogers. With prices so high we wanted to carry more fuel. It pumps quickly but you need to watch it because it doesn’t shut off automatically

Buyer beware! Most obvious deficit, it is a 26 gallon tank (diesel within 1 inch of fill cap orifice at 26 gallons.) While I can imagine there is additional 6 gallons of air up in the handles, this is very misleading on the manufacturer's part. I will handle this directly with Vevor.Looks to be good quality build, will update this review if it does not perform well over time.I know folks will be tempted, but I'm not sure if handles will support its weight+diesel using forklift; I did not try (there doesn't appear to be reinforcement there.) Easy enough to lay my bucket within 1/2 inch of lift gate on truck, roll the Vevor up onto the level bucket lip, strap it thrice ("three times") with ratchet straps, and then lift/lower to ground carefully with appropriate tilt-back of bucket. Easy to maneuver from there. Buyers should have appropriate equipment to get this to and from the source of diesel, and in/out of their truck as appropriate.Finally, tank is red (very unusual for a diesel storage canister.) I have purchased appropriate decals on Amazon to label with yellow diesel markings, and a set of hazard stickers warning of contents and to avoid smoking/flames - because obvious things aren't obvious :)

This amazing caddy arrived quickly. It is made of tough plastic. I would have preferred Yellow, but I'll label it to avoid fueling errors. It came with a nozzle, long hose, and attached pump. I think it only holds about 28 gallons, not the 32 advertised. I'm okay with that because it's easier to maneuver.I filled it in the bed of my truck laying down. I didn't have any issues with spilling during transport home. it was easy for me to roll down the ramps from my truck bed. I placed it in the fueling area and attached a lawn mower battery that I bought to use with it. I keep the battery charged with OYMSAE Solar Battery Charger 12V Solar Powered Battery maintainer I got from Amazon. You can power it from the vehicle being filled, but it's so much easier to have the dedicated battery. That way you don't have to connect and disconnect the power clips to refuel.It was so easy to attach the hose. It uses O-rings so the hose and nozzle connected easily. I filled the tractor and side by side easily. Just insert the nozzle into the fuel filler neck, turn on the switch, and it flowed like a gas station! I can't believe that I have messed around with 5 gallon fuel cans for so long, lifting and holding them to fill vehicles. The local fuel company charges $150 to come and fill tanks. This is so economical! I can fill it in the back of the truck, bring it home, roll it to the fuel area, and we are set for a few weeks. So easy!

Far better than having 3 jerry cans sloping about in the truck. Apart from the weight, which should be self evident, this thing is easy to fill (as long as you take out the ridiculous filter) and easy to store as it lies flat. The only real issues I have are the taps, which are difficult to access and on first uses are very stiff, i was seriously worried the arms would snap before the valve would turn. the recess they live in is too small and awkward. a bit pricey, but in my opinion worth it. I save anything up to $30 every time I use this as the price of fuel on Kangaroo Island is nuts.

As I have used this caddy only once, this is in no way a long-term review. Rather, these are simply first impressions. If I learn of issues later however, I will return here to edit this post.The Good: Nothing cheesy about the construction. Sturdy. No leaks. I measured a draw of around 5.5 amps at 12 volts and, at a timed 10 GPM (!) this caddy is much faster than even the pumps at the gas station. The hose on mine is much longer than that in the photo. The DC cord is very long as well.The Not So Good: The down side of the hose being longer than advertised is that won’t even begin to store properly in the narrow-channeled hose storage. I am using velcro strap to keep the hose from laying on my garage floor. The method for holding the dispensing handle on the front of the caddy only barely does so. Any slight nudge, and the handle falls to the floor or into the dirt. There is no storage whatsoever for the electrical cord, so more velcro strap is needed to hold it neatly off of the floor when not in use.Most Desired Improvements: In addition to above-mentioned hose, cord, and handle storage issues, this caddy begs for a reversing on-off switch rather than just a simple (albeit seemingly good quality) on-off switch. To prevent post-fueling storage of a gallon or so of “loose” fuel in the hose, I have resorted to reversing polarity at the battery connection so as to drain fuel from the voluminous hose back into the tank itself, which I view as much safer.

Although I like this portable fuel tank, like others have reviewed, this only holds 26 gallons maximum diesel. Not 32 gallons as advertised.

Used for the first time on my docked boat and the tank filling performed extremely well, no leaks the fuel tank on the boat as filled fairly quick considering the tide was high and the boat was almost level with the dock. Very happy with the product. Will provide further review a later time when I refuel my boat again.

I always wanted one. Got it at a good price and said pack it I'll splurge. This is so much nicer than carrying three cans around. And it actually takes up less space when vertically stored. I take it with me on trips with my pickup. The south has better gas prices than the north. So I'll fill it with what I have when we stop. To take a break.
