Fuel Caddy

The Fuel Caddy works okay. It needs a shut off on the end of the hose.
Also was disappointed to see that it was not made in the USA !!

Cracked and damaged

The funnel on top was cracked and damaged. Need to be sent a replacement. Overall, the product appears to work, but shipping was poorly done and box was torn and damaged.
Excellent tank

Assembly was easy, works great. Since I need this to be occasionally moved around the farm and occasionally taken to refill, mounted it on a pallet.
Consider your plan for getting this back and forth to your refueling spot. Empty it's fine- maybe 40 lbs. full, it's closer to 300 lbs.

Actually works well - with a few tweaks. (edited- modified it for an electric pump)

I was concerned given some of the negative comments in some of the reviews.
One comment referred to black stuff coming out of the pump for the first few gallons. I planned to put a filter on anyway, but I our 5 gallons into the tank, sloshed it around, then pumped it all gallons back out it into a fine mesh fuel strainer and inspected the results. There were a dozen or so small pieces of crud. Not bad, and not enough to create issues, if whatever you put the gas into has a filter between the tank and the engine.
I did note the pump sucked a lot of air. The threads on the inlet and outlet are metric and are not tapered, and teflon tape isn't all that effective at sealing the joints. I used a thread dope designed for gasoline applications and the pump performance improved significantly. I suspect that will address some of the reported pump longevity issues as well.
Another comment referenced leaks in the tank. Mine doesn't leak and actually looks well made.
As noted above the threads are metric and since I'll be pumping fuel into my 7KCAB Citabria, I wanted a water trap and filter on it, or a water absorbing filter. The inlet fitting for the pump appears to be a 32-1.5mm female thread. , Pretty much all your fuel transfer accessories in the US use either a 3/4" NPT or a 2" NPT fitting (also known as the 51mm or DN50 fitting outside the US) since those are the fittings on the standard 55 US gallon / 44 Imperial gallon / 200 liter barrel. If I change the pump, I'll turn an adapter on my lathe for it to convert it to a 3/4" NPT fitting or a DN50 depending on the replacement pump.
However with this pump I discovered that the hose end of the fitting fit inside a 1" NPT pipe nipple with about 1/16" clearance all the way around. That's a lot to solder, so I opted to use JB Weld, since it's gasoline proof when fully cured. I cleaned the surfaces with denatured alcohol and let it cure 24 hours.
I then added a 90 degree elbow and installed a 1" NPT filter housing on it. On the "out" side of the filter I used a 1" to 3/4" NPT adapter and then installed a 14' long 3/4" NPT threaded gasoline hose and a standard unleaded 3/4" NPT threaded fuel nozzle. I use a large velcro wire tie to hold the handle in the flow position if I am doing the pumping.
Capacity wise there is a gallon or so of unusable fuel in the bottom and it'll only hold 32 gallons with a fill nozzle stuck all the way in the filler cap. I suspect it would take 35, but there would then be no room for expansion.
The stem gauge mounted in the tank vent gauge is a bit off in terms of total capacity, but if you pump 5 gallons it will indicate a 5 gallon change accurately.
I also added a stainless U bolt to hang the nozzle on.
My negative comments are:
1) The instructions don't stress the need to use Locktite when screwing the axles into the tank. if you do not, they WILL screw themselves back out. Also, it uses acorn nuts to hold the wheels on, but again you either need to use Locktite on them, or use nyloc nuts instead.
2) The ground wire is incredibly flimsy and I replaced it with a longer and more substantial piece of twisted steel cable. You don't want the ground wire to break.
3) The metric threads are a bit odd, give the 3/4" and DN50 standards that have been universal for fuel transfer since WWII.
(Edit: I replaced the pump with a Fill Rite RD8. The original pump still worked fine but it was slow. I took a 1 1/4" NPT female to 3/4 NPT female adapter and turned the inside of the 1 1/4" side to 1.425" for a friction fit on the 32 -1.5mm threaded outlet on the tank, then secured it with JB Weld as it is fuel proof.
