Fuel caddy

[oldmachinenut]

Do any of you have a gas/fuel caddy? I am looking at a 30-35 gallon ones to store diesel. The Vevor ones seem to be everywhere and are reasonably priced. I have found mixed reviews on them and was wondering if any of you had any first hand experience. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bill

I have a 35 gallon Tuffiom Caddy going on its 3rd summer with no issue's. I chose it over Vevor because I didn't see any complaints about leaking tanks like the Vevor reviews.
Tuffiom had a lot of complaints about the pumps but I can deal with that when it happens instead of dealing with a leaky tank.
They all seem to be the same design, the only thing I changed was adding a 90 to the fill hose on top of the pump so that it doesn't kink.
I might try one of those cheap holley 12volt pumps on it if and when the hand pump fails.

Edit*
I am using mine for non-ethanol gas not diesel.

I worked in the motorcycle industry for almost 15 years and we always used the Handy 30 gallon gas caddy. They always worked well. Just have to replace the pump crank seals every great once in a while. Pricey, but a quality product.

Thank you, I hadn’t seen that brand I will look at them also.

I bought two new but surplus reefer tanks that are 30 gallons or 35 gallons each. I need to get that project going.
