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.

VERY sturdy construction, great tank overall
I have a mostly inunsulated 3 car garage and run 2 parallel diesel heaters to keep it warm, I was getting kind of tired of refilling the previous 5gal bucket I had set up to fuel them so I looked and found this. It's very well made and robust. The fuel inlet that reaches close to the bottom of the tank is well designed, sturdy, and has a debris screen. The gauge is just a simple float and works great. Do note, I'm sure it says in the instructions but don't fill the tank and then drive with just the little red stopper plug in the fuel outlet port mounted on the gauge. The Gs of driving will cause fuel to leak from that threaded outlet. It's quite heavy when full, I'm pretty strong but I struggled to lift it on top of my metal cabinet. Overall it works great, zero smells from the one way vented cap and I have no doubt it'll last me. Highly recommended!

Great for Emergency Fuel — Solid Build and Good Value
I’ve been using the Scepter 08668 rectangular 12-gallon tank to store emergency fuel, and it’s been working out really well. I keep it filled and rotate the gas out with my cars every month or two to keep things fresh. It’s a great value for the convenience and peace of mind it offers.The tank itself feels solid and well-built. I really like the size — it’s big enough to be useful but not so large that it’s a hassle to store. That said, when it’s full, it weighs well over 100 pounds, so transporting it can be a little tricky. It’s manageable, but definitely not something you want to be hauling around without a plan. I usually move it with a cart or dolly when needed.One thing to be mindful of: make sure the ports are properly sealed when storing or transporting. If they’re not tightened down right, you could get some leaks or fumes. Not a big issue, but definitely something to pay attention to.All in all, a dependable and practical option for emergency fuel storage. Great to have around for outages, storms, or just general preparedness.

Replacement for 5 gallon tank
I got this 9 gallon tank to replace the 5 gallon tank in my boat.I wish it was about 1 inch longer and 1 inch wider. Really needs to be about 1-2 inches shorter in height for my boat.Built in fuel gauge on top of the tank. Has not leaked that I know of. You'll have to put a fuel line fitting on it. It doesn't come with one.I doesn't come with straps to keep it from sliding around. Buy them separately.Nice fuel tank. Be sure and read the dimensions in the description and measure the area in your boat where you want to put this. I'll have to make a few modifications to make it work, but I'll appreciate the extra 4 gallons of gas while on the water.This tank does swell and pressurize with gas in it. It is plastic.

great build quality. Don't worry so much about that non-vented cap. It eventually vents.
Dimensions were exactly as stated on the listing. The non-vented cap doesn't bother me like it seems to bother others making reviews. That's the EPA regulations they are trying to meet. There is no gas fitting on this tank and if you want to install a gas fitting that is right angled instead of straight, you have to loosen all of the bolts that hold the fuel gauge section on the tank so you can twist your fitting on. I'll be buying a second one since I want 12 gallons on the boat, but will simply swap tanks when one runs out. The 6 gallon is much easier to lift in and out of the boat for refill.

Product leaks at gage and won't vent properly
Bought this before Xmas last year and wasn't planning to use it til boating season so now that it's here I have 2 serious issues and it's out of any return window!!! 1st major issue was after it was filled up and tilted towards the gage it pissed out gas around the whole unit. Took it apart only to find a flimsy rubber gasket so I put permatex 2 on top and bottom of gasket and no more leak so on to the breather valve issue....thier system doesn't work so I clipped the tip off the little rubber piece on the inside part of the cap, after doing that I shook it up real good and left it in the sun and cracking the vent I could actually hear it relieving the pressure. Horrible unit so do not buy!!!!!!

It works
I needed some extra fuel containers to take to Alaska for long stretches of highway where there are no gas stations. These worked just fine - no leaks. I read the reviews, and I can see how if you don't install everything correctly, you could get leaks, but I really suspect that human error was probably at fault. These things bulged in the sun, but they didn't leak, even under pressure. You do need to be sure to let the pressure escape before you try to hook it up, though. Simple solution - just open the fill hole and then hook it up and then close it again. My one critique is that they don't empty fully - there is always gas in the bottom - and there is no drain hole, so if you want to completely empty them, that can be a challenge. On the other hand, a drain hole would add another possible leak point, so ... I'm not sure.
