Comments about Overton's Overton's Fuel Daddy:
I have a nice deck boat that stays out of the water on a lift, except when in use. The boat has a 48 gallon tank and the gas port is on the side of the boat. Using a five gallon gas can to fill the tank is a royal pain. This caddy was received in an extremely short time after ordering using free shipping. Some assembly was required, but unless you have no mechanical skills and/or simple tools, anyone can have this tank ready for use in no time. The only nit I had was that the tires needed air.
I strapped the caddy in the back of my 5' by 8' trailer and took it over to a nearby station. Although rated at 25 gallons, it will not take that much unless you tilt the fill end up about 6' to 12". I just happened to have a piece of 6x6 in the trailer I use as a wheel chock and used it to prop up the tank. Worked like a charm.
When I got back to the house, I had no trouble sliding the caddy to the ground and standing it up (I am 63 and in reasonably good shape). My driveway is about 22 feet above the boathouse walkway, so I had to maneuver the caddy down the hill on a gravel path and then down to the boathouse walkway (about a 250 foot distance). Neither the big pneumatic tires nor I had any problem. (The tires did not rub the tank.) I lowered the boat so the gas port was below the boat house walkway.
I placed connected the ground clip to the boat, placed the gas nozzle in the port, opened the vent on the gas cap, and started filling the boat. Since the nozzle is not automatic and I knew that the gas tank could take more than 30 gallons, I used a quick clamp to hold the nozzle open. When the gas was below the caddy's fill port, I took the gas cap off to increase the flow rate. I thought the caddy emptied quickly considering it was only gravity flow.
There are always people with problems with some products, but I had none with this caddy. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Overton's Overton's Fuel Daddy:
It is great to have fuel on wheels! But the design needs to be better at the connection of the tank and hose. Very week, we made a brackett to give it extra support. But otherwise we LOVE it!

Comments about Overton's Overton's Fuel Daddy:
This product is very good. It is built very well and priced better than the competition. I use it for purchasing fuel off the lake to be used for my PWC.
The only complaint is that the capacity is rated as 25 gallons. Filling the tank on it's back as recommended only allows for 20 gallons of capacity. Small complaint, but if you really need 25 gallons, you may have to slightly prop up the tank.

Comments about Overton's Overton's Fuel Daddy:
we use to save money on filling our jet ski and traveling to the marina to do it. it did leak though and we have to tighten the gaskets and put a rag around it. so for the money I thought it would be more secure.

Comments about Overton's Overton's Fuel Daddy:
Product was easy to use. Took about 10mins to set up. Easy to transport in bed of pickup truck. Very clean method of getting fuel into boat without getting gas on hands/boat/clothing or splashing into the water. Easy to handle with just one person.
