Review on Flo-Fast 15503 15 Gallon Container by Rushabh Gonsales

I ride a Harley to work every day. I fill up every 4 days. I have never used my available rewards points at the grocery store for $1/gallon refill gas because I didn't want to use just 5-6 gallons of my available 35 gallon discount. My bike requires premium 91 gas, so it definitely made sense for me to find a way to get the biggest discount on the most expensive gas at the gas station. I did my research and selected (2) these 15 gallon Flo Fast containers. After doing the math, I found that I am paying myself off and starting to save $ within 6 months after purchasing these containers. I am very happy with my decision. The containers are well made, sturdy, with a metal opening and tight-fitting lids. The tanks are rated for 15 gallons, but unless you actually plan on lifting and tilting them to add gas, they can hold about 17-18 gallons and keep the gas right under the dump valve. I'm a tall man and have no problem lifting full bins into the car but be aware that when full they weigh over 100lbs and in most cases it will probably take 2 people to lift them into the car (because filling your vehicle is not recommended due to static electricity). The other half of the storage equation was figuring out how easy it was to put gas on my bike. I've done a lot of research on transfer pumps and this information should help anyone looking for the same type of setup. The Tera pump does what I would call an (almost) perfect transfer pump from this link from Revain: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HOXQ5E0?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details. This is a 12V DC and 120V AC transfer pump that works very well "almost" perfectly. I say "almost" because the pump shaft isn't long enough to reach the bottom of these Flo-Fast tanks. Very close. The reservoirs are about 28 inches tall and the Tera pump's shaft is almost a foot shorter after submersion. A free foot at the bottom of these containers is equivalent to approximately 8 gallons of fuel. I got a little creative and added about a foot. CPAP hoses to the end of the pump so I can reach the bottom of the reservoir. The method works, but has two major disadvantages. Container. At the end of the shaft is a small impeller that pushes the gas up and out of the pumping system. To even begin pumping gas, the end of the pump shaft must be immersed in gas. For evacuation, the hermetic CPAP hose will continue to evacuate gas from the canister until the canister is empty or until I stop evacuating because the gas cylinder is full. the gas is under the bottom of the pump shaft. The second disadvantage of the procedure is that after about 2 months the CPAP bath dries up and cracks. Once this happens it is no longer airtight and I need to replace the tubing to allow the process to continue. As you can imagine, getting the rest of the gas out of these containers when there are only a few gallons left at the bottom is a hassle. You should tip the container over and try to cover the bottom of the shaft with enough gas to start the filling and inflation process. It's not ideal. After doing a lot more research I settled on the GasTapper 12V Max transfer pump: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS4T9OD?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details. It costs more than twice as much as the TeraPump, but eliminates the "surge" entirely. too short" which NOBODY likes. :-) The suction tube is 8 feet long and has a heavy brass end that extends to the bottom of the tank. The dispensing tube is also 8 feet long and has a wire reinforced end that fits like a regular gas pump handle can be held and used. The pump's on/off valve is an air operated "piston" with a long cord that can be held and used simply to control the on/off process. The pump is powered by a 12- V cigarette lighter which I plug into my bike to power the unit Can't comment on the durability of the pump motor but the unit is made in the USA and definitely feels solid and not made out of cheap materials Finally I can now use all my bonus points to refuel Discounts on my frequent motorcycle refueling I keep these Flo-Fast containers in the shed on the side of my house and just ride the bike rad next to the shed when it's time to fill up. I have reached my goal. Hope this review helps!
