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.

EGD Responds: For safety reasons, the handle needs to be held down to keep the gas flowing.

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.
