Scepter 6 Gallon Portable Marine Gas Can, Boat Fuel Tank with Top Handle | Underseat Design, 2-Way Vented Cap, Built-In Fuel Gauge and Pick-Up, EPA & CARB Compliant, 19.3"L x 12.2"W x 10.2"H (10511)

Tank looks to be well made just installed. Leaked through the plug hole but cured the problem after installed the twist lock connector that has a check valve. With expansion of fuel it will come out with no restriction because this is the fuel pick up. This is the reason for videos of leaking tanks and should be explained in instructions.

I bought this tank to throw in the back of my service truck when I need to haul a larger quantity of fuel to a vehicle. It works really well and has saved me several trips

works good

I always read reviews before I purchase a product. I am usually most interested in the negative reviews because I want to know what kind of problems people have had. There were three problems specifically mentioned in previous reviews that almost deterred me from purchasing this tank but ultimately did not. The first concern is that an OMC fitting cannot be attached to the tank because of the low clearance. This is illustrated in two of the pictures that I have attached. There are likely a multitude of creative workarounds but I chose the one that I felt was easiest and also allowed me to investigate two of the other concerns mentioned in negative reviews. (It is also the method that is instructed on the inside of the paper that is wrapped around the tank upon delivery). I removed the intake mechanism of the tank altogether. This allowed me to investigate two other concerns listed in negative reviews. One is that the intake tube falls off inside the tank and the other is that it leaks around the fuel gauge. Upon removing the intake mechanism of the tank, I was able to verify that the fuel uptake tube is sufficiently attached and there is a gasket to seal in the fuel. I attached the Johnson OMC hose connector to the intake mechanism of the tank and then reattached it to the tank. All of that took less than five minutes including the time it took to take the pictures I have posted. After a weekend out on the water, I am happy to report a completely functioning tank with no leaks. There was some bloating and swelling of the tank but that is a result of EPA standards that forbid any vapor leakage. I may install a vent or replace the cap with one that vents. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and I do recommend it even though it was a nuisance to attach the OMC fuel fitting

I liked this tank until it puffed up causing permanent distortion in the connection area which caused the connector to point down. Now I cannot connect the hose because it’s fouling the tank. The old style tank and cap that has been beside it from day one has no issues. Most people I talk to that own this style tank say they’re overcoming this problem by leaving the vent open 24/7. The new EPA designed gas cap is another example of some of their faulty designs causing more harm than good to the environment at the users expense 4-8-26 update Contacted Scepter customer service to see if they could help although it was out of warranty. They reviewed the pictures and info I sent them and decided to send a new tank. They were professional and eager to help. This hassle free experience caused me to change the rating from a 1 to a 5 star

I made good use of this Scepter 12 Gallon Portable Marine Gas Can for my modified Champion Inverter to add a significant amount of run time and convenience. I use this inverter for whole-house power backup during weather related outages and this tank is just what I needed! It is strong and heavy (in a good way) & very solid! The builtin fuel gage works very well to get an idea of how close you're getting to the bottom. Fortunately for me, with 12 gallons this is far less frequently than when I had to rely on the 4 gallon tank that comes with the inverter. The fuel cap and breather feature seems to work well too. That is a very good feature, by the way. It keep the can from swelling in hot weather. People; you really want a GOOD QUALITY fuel container. After all, it's gasoline! This is not an area where you want cheap-out and buy a crappy fuel container. In my opinion this is the one to buy, but I'm a pilot and always think of safety first. I recommend this 12 gallon tank. Its heavy duty, well constructed & has good safety features.

Gas tank looks like a gas tank - no issues there -however the ventilation is non existent-- tank will ballon even with vent on cap open- when I say balloon, it will turn near go completely round--this is very unsafe and should be considered a safety hazard-I would recommend that these tanks stop being sold until the issue is resolved because everybody's life on board is at stake-these tanks could potentially explode or blow the lid off with fuel going everywhere whatever happens first...! Yes, there are simple fixes for this problem, but to buy an safe container that holds gasoline should not we one the general public should have access to... if this company is going to manufacture these gas tanks and sell them to the public they need to make sure that they are safe for everybody that purchases them...!! So at this point, I would not recommend buying this product. It is not as described. Will it hold gasoline sure -but will it potentially explode from the back of your boat putting your family and everyone around at danger- yes, I believe it will.

Great quality so far...

Bon produit!

Mi papa necesitaba esto para su barco. Le funciono muy bien. Llego a tiempo y sin daños.

I purchased this to use as an extra fuel tank for when I travel across the country next month. I have it in the bed of my truck along with a shaker siphon hose just in case I need extra gas between gas stations, my truck is pulling a cargo trailer with tools and household items so it will be heavy and I will burn a lot of fuel on a 5000km trip. One thing that is important, one reviewer talked about the red plastic plug leaking and he gave this tank a 2 star rating based on that, of course, that little red plastic plug is going to leak, it's not meant to stay in the fuel tank, it is only there to keep dirt out of the tank before you install a fuel line connector that has threads, the plastic plug has no threads because it is just a temporary plug so it will leak. If you want to use this as a gas can to store extra fuel like I am doing, you need to buy a proper threaded plug to replace the red plastic plug, this is what I purchased but there are a lot of different options for plugs that you can buy... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B006PKKSQK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
