Flo N' Go DuraMax 14-Gallon Gas Can w/ Fuel Siphon

I bought one of these gas caddies to fuel lawn equipment and transport fuel. After owning for less than a year the wheels would not turn when full of fuel. The combo gas pump nozzle started leaking when pumping and would even leak when using as gravity fueling. I emailed the company with no response at all. If anyone is cosidering buying one of these save your money and buy one that has metal construction and a company that will stand behind their product.

I bought this for my husband who is always working out in the yard with machines requiring gas. He was excited when he opened it on Christmas morning just to become disappointed later that afternoon. He likes the can but hates having to keep squeezing the handle to keep the gas flowing. It is horrible on the wrist.

The only time it flows freely is when it is sitting up higher than the machine that is being filled. It is not worth the money I spent on it. Way over priced. I did not send it back because it was the only thing I had to give my husband for Christmas.

Noticed fuel leaking out handle after second use. Leaking became so bad that I disassembled the hand pump (warranty had long since expired). The rubber pump diaphram had torn.

Removed the hand pump and now I have to lift the tank up higher than whatever I fill. Wish I had bought three 5 gal cans for a third the price.

Also, temperature changes cause the tank to bloat or collapse so need to open vent periodically to prevent deformation.

Purchased this to use with my my boat so I wouldn't have to pay the high fuel prices at the marina. Looks great, but terrible product. wheels locked up first, ok I dragged it. Then the hose became brittle and cracked, replaced it with real gasoline hose. doesn't empty all the way. Pump handle doesn't really pump much more than a tablespoon at a time. oh and then the valves broke and gasoline poured all over my dock and boat. All this in less than 2 years. Pitched the piece of junk. Sorry I wasted my money on it.

Capacity of this tank is great. The issue is the hose quality and pump. Hose feels almost like plastic and leaks over time. Pump handle is plastic and doesn't pump more than several ounces at a time. Check other reviews....not worth the money.

...of this unit for what it sells for is at opposite ends. I bought this unit, and quite frankly I'm very disappointed. The theory and designed are brilliant. However, its totally plastic, which is understandable, and the hose is of very poor quality. It crimps at every bind. The nozzle does not perform very well at all. It is very hard to get the fuel from the red holding tank.

Like I said, the idea is great. If they are to continue to sell this item for this price, they need to step up the quality of the horse and the nozzle.

I bought the kit a couple of weeks back. The cover is of high quality, the heavy duty extension cord with four 120v receptacles is of high qualify and I highly recommend. The gas supplement is what it is supposed to be... gas supplement.

Now lets speak to the biggest part of this kit. The actual container itself. The idea and design on this unit is great. However, the hose provided, and the nozzle are of very sub-par quality. The hose crimps very easily, restricting fuel flow to the nozzle. The nozzle itself is very poorly made, and almost a joke. You can work yourself to death to bring fuel to it, especially if you have to "pump" to a tank above the container, like in a generator gas tank with each sitting equally on the ground.

If it were not for the poorly manufactured hose and nozzle this unit would get a 5*. The price of it dictates high quality, but it simply is not there!

Hose is very rigid, even in summer. Nozzle leaks- sorry I bought it.

I just purchased two of these portable tanks to have enough gas on stock for a 2 - 3 day blackout. (I have a 15 kW Generac portable generator.)

Assembly, filling and transport of the tanks is easy.

I didn't manage to fill 14 gallons in it - it was a little bit less than that.
The hand pump works fine and pumps more gas per movement than I thought. Anyway it takes some time to fill a motorcycle or generator tank.

Be careful when emptying the hose. There will be quite a bit of gas remaining in the hand pump which spills all over the place when you press the handle by accident.

It's just a matter of getting used to it I guess.

Overall I am satisfied with the product up to now.

I normally have to fill up the gas can on a yearly basis. Of course I use a gas stabilizer in my fuel. The can is a little heavy when full, but for a once/year refill, it is still better than carrying around 5 gallon gas cans. Get a little tedious to hold the nozzle handle for a generator refill, but still a good investment for a continuous use machine.
