Flo & Go Duramax
This product is over priced. You must raise it way above your equipment to be filled, which isn't an easy task if it is filled. You must keep pumping the handle to make it work properly...Just another product that the consumer is stuck with.

Duramax Fills to the Max!
Upon receipt I immediately found this fuel caddy to be easy to move around my somewhat rough terrain. Obviously 14 gallons of fuel will make this thing heavier and make the transport a little mote challenging, but definitely expected. It appears to be quite durable. I look forward to using it on a number of my outdoor equipment and a few toys as well!

oh, well
purchased to haul gas to boat in marina--loads, unloads easily from truck--have to elevate above filler neck to flow, hose kinks at slightest off-center, needs to be reinforced. If tank could be pressurized, it would deliver fuel much faster--12 gals. takes about 15-20 min. Ease of handling container gets 4 stars, delivery of fuel gets 1 star

Fuel Caddy
Well built, easy to move. Works as advertised. Its nice to fill once in the spring and be good for the rest of the summer. I use about 14 gallons a year in gas around the house. It takes up less room than two 5 gallon and one 2.5 gallon cans. It sits nicely by the door to the shed and the hose reaches outside, so I can use gravity to fill the mowers. Be sure to add stabilizer to it after a fill up and you should be good for 6 months.

Does the job
I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons:
The first is to fill it can be a bit tricky if you want to maximize it's use and not leave much air gap to allow sloshing. It's best to leave it laying down for this so mounting it on the front of the trailer is not an option.
Second is the design could really be improved with the addition of an air valve that would allow small pressure from an inflator/12v compressor to push the fuel out. I use this to refill my Bobcat on job sites and don't want the bulk of a mounted auxiliary tank taking up permanent real estate in the bed of my truck. Between the tank on the Bobcat and the reserve in this caddy I can work all week without needing to get more diesel. I usually have to unload it at the job site and then put it back in the bed of the truck and then on top of my toolbox when I need to transfer the fuel so I can get gravity to help it flow into the machine. The pump action on the handle might work for a small lawn mower but is unrealistic for transferring gallons of fuel. It doesn't do much more than prime the hose and get the fuel flowing for me. Otherwise plan on hours and a very sore hand from humping to transfer anything significant.
Overall it does the job and is better than hauling around 3 or 4 loose cans in the back of the truck. I had wanted to mount this on my trailer but can't until I get time to put a port on that will allow me to apply a couple of pounds of pressure to push the fuel out. Anyone thinking of doing this as well be cautious and don't allow it to over-pressurize. It could blow up.

Fuel caddy is Great!
I use this caddy from my truck bed and from a shelf I put on the wall of my shop next to the door. I can fuel a mower or tractor just outside the door or pull it in.
The shelf is high enough to get good flow. It is easy to get into and out of the truck to refill.

Big
Holds lots of gas. Works fine and when the hose broke replacements are for sale. never had a leak problem, is really heavy when full of gas. Good thing it has wheels. Worked well during strom to have gas for generator fill-ups . Pump takes some work to get used too.

Power Outage Rescuer
This is a great product to have for a prolong power outage emergency. I can provide fuel to my generator so it can run it for may hours.
Since it has wheels, it is easy to move around. Iam able to take it anywhere around my property as well as my neighbors.
By having a 14 gallon fuel capacity I do not have to go to the gas station multiple times as I had to with a smaller container.

Thank you sir, sell me another!
Okay, just received it and it's more cool than the description. Really nice quality. Filled it right away and have already used it to fuel my bike. It's like having my own fuel station in my garage so I don't have to keep going to the gas station AND I can buy when the cost drops. I have to pump it against gravity, but otherwise it works just like the gas station, shuts off and won't pump further when the take is full. A couple of knocks against the tank and all the gas dribbles out. I was worried about the flow rate at first but then I realize I did not have both the shut-off valves turned full on and one time I forgot to open the vent on the fill cap. But once I got the hang of it... Man this is cool. Great gift for your dad kids!!!

poor design
I bought two of these so I wouldn't have to make so many trips to gas station. I discovered that it takes forever to pump the gas out . By the time you get done your hand is sore.The hose and valves are to small.I believe who ever designed it never used it.
