you made me buy this thing for my tractor im always struggling with the 5 gallon container

Lucas, I feel the same way you do about the old gas cans that don’t work well. Just ordered the Vevor gas can! 👍🏻

This looks awesome. All the fuel tanks at Tractor Supply are cost prohibitive. I have a Branson 2515 Tractor and pouring 5 gal cans gets heavy. Thanks for the video!

I just received my first order from this company. What I got was a dehydrator. Stainless steel six tray. Thing works good. They have lots n lots of items. Worth looking into.

Lucas: good info again. I use five 20 liter diesel containers. I have a box that I made that all the containers fit into. That fits into my trailer. As for filling the BX, I put the container on the seat and place my Flo Tool Anti-Static Self-Priming Siphon Hose, 6-ft into the container and the other end into the tank. This works very well for me. I go through about 5 containers a winter season. I can see that the system you have works really well. I will check it out. Thanks again for the info.

Sounds like you’ve managed pretty well!

Fuel tanks are a must to have if you run any equipment. I like the idea of being able to take them in/out of the truck. Now a day`s finding off road fuel is hard to find , I am glad Mark has it. Now you got your tank you just have to find a way to pay to fill them up LOL My 90 gal tank is not cheap !

30 gal. Plastic drums are the way to go. They're basically free you just need to adapt a little plumbing. Very cheap and you really can't go wrong with plastic drums no denting etc.

Would like to see a video about this after a year or two of use to see how it holds up.

Mine lasted about 90 days and pump froze and the quality was so bad several screws did not thread in the wheels. Buyer be ware. No help from vevor upon contacting them

Thanks I have the SAME unit from a different Reseller. My hand pump failed after Year One with Non Ethanol fuel . I think you will do better on diesel. The Unit is now in service with an electric pump from a hot rod parts supply store in Ohio. I had to remove the fuel level float to get the pump to reach bottom. Good Luck

Boy, now that would be something!

Thanks for the great video! For what it’s worth I use 25 or 55 gallon metal or plastic drums depending on the project I’m working on and how much fuel I need. I think it’s a much less expensive solution for storing and transporting fuel. All you need to add is a hand or electric pump and a 2” pipe fitting for the large drum bung hole sized for your pump. The other drum hole is usually 3/4” for the vent. I just use a pipe thread plug for the vent hole. I always move my drums with the loader bucket so haven’t had a need for wheels on the drum but they could be added if desired Either way the jerry cans are gone😅

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead

That’s a solid idea! Probably quite a bit cheaper too. Nice thinking!

@jackvance6025

8 ай бұрын

Definitely less expensive since I usually get my drums for free. Harbor freight sells a 12 V oil pump with a fuel hose and nozzle for about $70 that works good with diesel (not gas) or you can also use a hand pump

I'd be up for this if I had the 2601 instead of the BX. I cant buy any pink diesel in the town I live in either and the taxless savings will evaporate if I have to travel to get it. Otherwise a really great idea.

That’s handy!

I’m poor. I’ll take all of your old gas cans!!

Having a tank of diesel rather than fuel cans is a game changer. I just got the Vevor 116 gallon diesel tank and I’ve loved it so far. Instead of clipping to your battery, can you clip to your starter? That’s what I do on my Kioti and it works great. Great video!

I am so sick of those plastic cans! I was looking at truck mount options for fuel but something like that might be a better option. Thanks for sharing! Take care!

I have thought about truck options too, but really didn’t want to give up any bed space. This seems like a solid alternative.

I'm wondering about 2 things. How robust is the metal? Is it chintzy tin? And I'm wondering about rust in the tank over time.

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead

Well, I load it and unload it with tractor forks and mine is holding up fine. I don’t know what the tank looks like inside, but I’ve had mine about a year and I get clean fuel out of it. 🤷🏼‍♂️. Good luck!

Just get an old 25-30 gallon drum and screw the identical hand pump on it. strap it to a hand cart.

Can a fuel filter be plumbed into the fill hose? I filter very gal sometimes 3 times before it goes into whatever.

We found a 150 gal small round tank, added angle iron legs and 6x3' rectangular tube base, 12v pump & filter, so we can use pallet forks to set it into the bed of the Truck.........

I have a similar tank. Not vevor but same thing. Have had it for a few years now no problems..
