🛢️ Attwood 8806LPG2S Portable Fuel Container Review

The capacity of this portable tank is large. This problem is that there is no vent in the lid or in this tank. So when you're out on the water and the sun is shining on you, there's pressure. The tank expands and bulges so much you feel like weeping around the gas cap. You can tighten it as you like, you still miss. And that fuel is in your boat now. I had to install a vent in this tank which fixed this problem. This problem can be corrected if the manufacturer replaces the cap with one that…

Used to power the generator on our toy dump truck. Works as I intended. but. It's not hot here in AZ yet, but this tank is already swollen. and it's in the shade on a 90* day. I "vented" the gas cap and it settled down and returned to its original shape. I wasn't worried that it would tear if it swelled. I was concerned that when you inflate, the bottom of the tank will also deform, so you lose that nice flat surface that the tank should sit on with no wobble. When space and safety are as…

I'm all for the environment, but manufacturers went too far trying to comply with EPA IMO rules. Most modern gas cylinders are not vented and end up looking like soccer balls or otherwise contorting into all sorts of weird shapes. You can either fix this with a vented lid, or if you choose to use an existing lid, it contains a small white ball. a cap that vents the tank when you push it down. They release fumes into the environment so it's no longer EPA compliant, but it won't inflate like a…

Attwood usually does good things, but this tank inflates like a balloon in no time and stays that way. I think I can deal with a permanently deformed fuel tank, but now the fuel gauge is useless as it doesn't show the fuel level properly with the deformed tank shape. Judging by the description I thought there would be ventilation through the lid but there isn't. I called Attwood and thought the cap might be defective, but Dave told me it was supposed to be and the tank wasn't designed to be…

Works great. If possible, use a good thread sealant instead of Teflon tape. Update: I bought this tank in May 2017 so after four months of frequent use I'm still giving the tank five stars because it works as it should, no. the problem is there. However, I am disappointed with how this reservoir swells like a soccer ball after being in the sun or heat for even a short time. At the same time, he gives incorrect readings from the gas meter. As I steered my boat and checked the gauge, I noticed…
