Scepter 6 Gallon Portable Marine Gas Can, Boat Fuel Tank with Top Handle

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.

Good gas tank

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.

This can will pull air in from the outside, but it won't let fumes escape through the top. This means during heat, the can tends to balloon up and bloat. Then I have to walk over and manually release the fumes from inside. Why the EPA mandated such things is beyond me, the fumes end up in the atmosphere either way. We don't want the canister under constant pressure like that - seems like a hazard.

Absolute junk!!! Does not work at all?None of the fittings work , complete rip off!! It's not work for johnson motors!!

I strongly recommend NOT purchasing this product. Like many other reviews for this product, I found leaking around the fuel gauge. There is a red plug that comes with the tank that has no real effect at all in stopping gas from leaking. I called the service number on the Scepter website and left a message. They called back and told me that the red plug is actually a "dust cover". If you put a full gas tank tank in your vehicle for transport, your vehicle will smell of gas for a long time. They said I should go to a marine shop to get a fitting that should prevent leaking. When I asked if they could give me any recommendation for the "fitting" they wouldn't recommend anything and said to find it on my own. They also implied that I ignored directions that are on their website. Good luck with finding those directions on their web site or in the Amazon product information.

Outstanding gas tank for the boat

Matched my 2026 Tracker Classic XL to a tee.

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

Excelente producto muy recomendado un detalle por error dejé cerrado el aireador y se me rompió la válvula de escape donde podré comprar un tapón nuevo de este tanque ?

Dam quick, very happy

Fits in my boats gas storage bin perfectly and does the job of having an extra tank of gas on board. Hook up of the hose was easy and really happy with this tank
