Review: Va. Boater - 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.
Review: I recommend this 12 gallon tank. Its heavy duty, well constructed & has good safety features. - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable, great capacity and flexible for many configurations.
*by T***L on January 12, 2026*

This is a very durable tank. It is a tall tank, therefore, it is not a long tank. This allows it to fit into tighter spaces.I it hold 12 gallons of fuel. I use it for a diesel heater configuration. The cap is is easy to open and close. It clicks to let you know when it has reached the closed position. It has a 1/4 not fitting from the fuel pickup. Allowing you to use whatever fitting you need. There is a vent in the cap to allow for airflow, so you not create a vacuum in the tank. This has been a very good addition to my configuration, allowing me to run for 2 weeks at a time without refills.
