Handy fuel tank with a battery quirk
A handy fuel tank that is described as holding 58 gallons but actually holds 50. It would be better with an M18 battery hookup instead of a 12-volt system, since a bulky 12-volt battery must be carried around just to use it.
Cons
- − Stated 58-gallon capacity but only holds 50
- − Requires carrying a bulky 12-volt battery
- − Would prefer an M18 battery hookup

Capacity Falls Short and Assembly Quality Is Poor
The tank does not hold the claimed 58 gallons; a first fill from empty reaches about 51.2 gallons, and usable capacity is roughly 48 gallons before the pickup sucks air. Build quality of the tank and parts is average to good, but assembly is poor: more than half the fasteners were loose, with one screw completely out of its hole. The hose and nozzle cannot be wound inside the lid while still closing and locking it properly, so part of the hose must hang outside. Tighten every fastener and connection before use.
Pros
- + Average to good quality tank and parts
Cons
- − Capacity lower than claimed
- − Usable capacity roughly 48 gallons
- − Poor assembly with loose fasteners
- − Hose cannot be stored inside closed lid

Plastic Transfer Tank Works Well for Fueling Equipment
This 58-gallon diesel transfer tank replaces multiple small fuel jugs for fueling a tractor and skid steer. Factory fittings and filter were snug, and hoses were attached without deforming the o-rings, resulting in no leaks so far. The plastic tank is lighter than a steel 50-gallon transfer tank, though long-term durability is unknown. The pump flow rate seems good. Keeping it out of direct sun when not in use is a precaution.
Pros
- + Easier than filling and pouring multiple small jugs
- + No leaks so far
- + Lighter than steel transfer tank
- + Good pump flow rate
Cons
- − Durability of plastic tank unknown

Economical transfer tank with minor fixes needed
This transfer tank primes easily and works well once several loose connections are addressed. The supplied O-ring is too stretchy for fuel and should be replaced with a stiffer one, and the fuel filter arrives barely finger-tight, causing leaks when the nozzle shuts off. Tightening the filter and adding sealant or Teflon tape resolves the issue. The fuel gauge is inaccurate, so check it when empty to avoid running dry. Forklift forks fit under one side but not the other. It is economical, well designed, and easier than lifting cans, especially for those with back problems.
Pros
- + primes easily
- + economical
- + well designed
- + easier than lifting 5-gallon cans
- + forklift accessible from one side
Cons
- − supplied O-ring too stretchy for fuel
- − fuel filter barely finger-tight from factory
- − fuel gauge inaccurate
- − forklift forks do not fit under one direction
