Useful but some issues
Functional and useful for hard to fill items (like boats!)
But, one wheel was warped and had to be replaced, which Northern helped take care of promptly. Also, need enough gravity feed to get all the gas out.

Fire Hazard on Wheels
I've owned this John Dow gas caddy for about 8 months. From the beginning it has leaked gasoline. At first it leaked from both the dispensing nozzle and the fitting joining the hose to the body. I applied both thread sealant and silicon sealant goo around the fitting and the places where the nozzle leaked. The nozzle stopped leaking; the fitting between the hose and the caddy never stopped leaking no matter how many layers of goo I applied. I took to storing the caddy horizontally to keep pressure off that terminally faulty seam, but it would start leaking again as soon as I stood the caddy up to use it. Not itty bitty seeping leaking. Flat-out gasoline dripping on the ground leaking. It beats me how a product this hazardous is allowed to stay on the market.

poor quality
Bought to fill jet skis & boat from about a 3 foot elevated location. The tanl seems okay, but the filling nozzle handle broke the first time using. Cheap very poor quality. Bought a replacement nozzle, but so far unable to get gas flow out of the new nozzle. Not sure if it's the 1/2" hose not allowing enough pressure. Currently using straight out of the hose without the nozzle. I would expect the product to work right out of the box.

Gas Caddy 25 Gallon
The Gas Caddy is a must for Boaters! With Gas prices as high as they are on the road they are even higher on the waterway! The caddy is easy to move around and easy to fill up.Make sure all connections are tight as they can leak sometimes.Also it helps if you can get the caddy higher than the boat/vehicle to fill up. I would highly reccommend this product as it will pay for itself!

Great Tank!
I have used one of these for about a year now and I must say that I am happy with the product. It holds enough fuel to last a long time if you are using it for a riding lawn mower or other equipment and it is really sturdy. The pneumatic tires are very helpful instead of hard, plastic wheels and the long hose and professional quality nozzle make using this tank easy. Since I have 2 riding mowers, a go-cart, chain saws and trimmers, it helps to have this tank in my storage shed! SInce my shed is elevated above all of this equipment, gravity takes care of the filling presure. My kids do not have to bother me every time the go cart runs out of gas. They simply pull around to the shed and gas up the go cart. No more carrying heavy gas cans and spilling fuel on the ground or my equipment.

Gas caddy
The John Dow gas caddy works very well. You can move 25 galons of gas over uneven area's with out too much trouble. It is high enough to make pulliing easy.

John Dow Gas Caddy
Good quality and easy to move around. Small hose fittings reduce the flow of gas to a small stream. Since your not supposed to fill a portable container in a vehicle you need a low vehicle to be able to tip it into. And you need a way to elevate the caddy above the level of the container you are filling. So most people would find it more convenient to buy a pump.
