Great idea! I’ve been eye-balling those gravity feeds … That wasn’t a mistake. That was showing how geometry and such work. Actually a good lesson for people, glad you left it in 👍

[@michaelfinney2160]

May need some kind of support for the bottom of the cans. All that fuel weight on just the handle all the time there may be failure and break. Need to figure out a cradle of some sort. Great idea you got there for fueling ! Have a Blessed Day !

[@Trialnerror]

I really think it's going to be OK. The plastic is MUCH thicker than I was expecting. I'm getting zero deflection in the handles under full load. And it seems like the handle is even thicker than the rest of the tank. I would imagine since it's gravity fed they would have to assume people will be hanging them in some cases. It looks like they took that into consideration. I'll be sure to update you all if something goes wrong!

[@Trialnerror]

Oh, and I suppose if you were really worried about it, a piece of C channel iron could be placed under the handle to gusset it up.

[@lhr1701]

Yes eventually those narrow hooks are going to imbed and break those plastic handles. Good idea though.

[@gavincline209]

Not even for the plastic but the winch part also, it’s holding all that weight locked in place. Eventually I’d be worried that brake would break and let them crash down. It is a harbor freight winch ya know. lol a small like 3.5” shelf to just take half the weight off it would probably be a big help

[@TerryRGraham]

Very nice! I'm not sure about having that electrical plug underneath them in case the hose ever decides to leak.

So far so good. I’ve filled it twice and it’s great getting 13 gallons at one shot kzbin.infoUgkx-vlHjazTv30m_UAq9Ht-fuPo2jBx7tTx . It pumps out by using gravity so the bottom of the tank needs to be above the vessel you're filling. Not a drop spilled filling the generator three times. Let’s see where we’re at after 20 fills.

[@brad9529]

Awesome job, I'd be worried knowing I have so much fuel hanging by a couple of wires in my garage, I think I'd store them sitting on the floor, just lift them up to use them, make it so you can lift just one at a time, then back down when you've filled up.

[@The_Ginge]

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe have 'em lifted through an open door on a platform, once cleared, close the door and set them down on the platform. Something like that.

[@chancetolbert4852]

Build a box system for them to sit on and joist up.

[@ericfraser7543]

My only concern is that the handle is not designed to support the full weight of of the tanks all the time, might fail over time or with age. Might want to consider installing a folding shelf to support the weight once the tanks are raised.

I’d probably build a rolling cart to put them on to keep the weight off the handles.

[@jerryeastman8407]

I use those tanks also. Don't lift them up but did put tire air chuck in the top of each so I could shoot in 5 lbs of air pressure that lets me shoot the gas in at any height. The trial and error part came in when I first used rubber pull thru air chuck which the ethanol destroyed in two days so I changed to bolt thru truck version that have been in them for at least 7 years. Have one at the airport so I can get Car gas to put in airplane and one at home to fill lawn tractor and generator and various other power equipment.

Incredible job sir. Clean execution! I've been using 2 of these same containers for a few years now. I built a platform attached to a dolly to make them easier to raise up and down when fueling. Never had to use them till recently when the power and water went out here in Texas. 3 days without both and people started to panic. Everything from groceries to gas was gone! I gave myself a pat on the back for planning ahead and decided to fuel up. I opened up the venting knob and began to fill up my car. (They fill very slowly) after about 6 to 7 minutes it occurred to me that the fumes were extremely strong and thought "what if the pilot lit right now on my water heater? Or the power came on and my thermostat started my furnice? 😨 Scared the daylights out of me. So, now I'm conflicted. Still want them in my garage for the easy access but not sure how safe I actually am.

[@Trialnerror]

So sorry you all took such a beating down there with that weather. Just crazy. I completely understand your concerns about storing that much fuel inside but the way I look at it is because it stinks so bad it's not like it has a chance to build up to a level that's dangerous before you notice it. Not the safest thing in the world but your odds are still worse that you'll die in a car accident vs something like that happening!

[@stevegabbert9626]

@@Trialnerror It only has to happen once.

[@markchapmon8670]

With that concern, perhaps you might consider tripping the breaker to the furnace so it can't kick on, then releasing the safety disconnect on the garage door opener (if the power is off already) and manually open the door to ventilate the garage before & during fueling.

[@mac11380]

Put a fan on the floor blowing the fumes out of the garage so there is no build up.

[@8180634]

As an engineer, we have all made silly mistakes, some of them take hours to figure out. It's part of life! That said; yikes that's a lot of fuel in one spot! My immediate thoughts are, is the motor on that winch sealed (no sparks)? Gas vapors are very heavy and fall. Also I would color that diesel handle (whole tank) an obviously different color, it only takes one sleepless night and rushed task to mix things up. And maybe add some good fire suppression of some sort. In the off chance that something lights up, that's going to be one hell of a fire with 45 gal of fuel, and plastic tanks will melt open in a flash.

[@fernarias]

It uses a siphon, where did you see electricity or motor. Diesel has a different sticker and it's also labeled above the tank.

[@robbgosset674]

@@fernarias The winch is a motor with gearbox and spool on the front of it, about 3 feet from the tanks of fuel. And reading things is great and all but if you're in a rush and not paying attention it'd be real easy to grab the wrong handle by accident and not realise until its too late.

Another idea is do what I did (it works) and double your winch cable through the block, or pulley, and back down to itself. That is easier than doubling both of the pull cables to the tanks.

[@Trialnerror]

Yea it is/good call. Only issue is with my setup in the corner, I didn't have enough room to pull enough cable through between the pulley and the winch to get the cans up high enough. Having them on the can's gave me the extra cable room needed to pull twice the amt of cable.

You should connect the two outside gasoline tanks together so the level of the gas/weight always stays the same on both sides. Keep the diesel one in the middle like you have it.

[@mac11380]

Then you would have to fill both at the same time and when you hit bottom, you would be out of gas and wouldn't have a reserve. One a a time makes more sense as when one was empty, you would go fill it while still having 15 gallons as a reserve.

To keep the 2:1 with the first setup, all that was needed was to flip the block at the winch connection. Affix the pulley to the load line and run the winch line through and back down to an anchor at its base. Less work and only one moving block.

@Landon Marttinen - Could you elaborate on that or show a diagram somehow?

[@landonmarttinen4921]

photos.app.goo.gl/ftqNtZTs7fqhtjpo9 Yes, here is a diagram overlayed onto the first rigging set up. It is much simpler than the solution he used because it does not introduce 2X the equipment, material, and moving parts into the setup. The only limitation in this setup is that you have to ensure that the winch line block is 2x the height of the max load line lift height to avoid having the winch line pulley bottom out to the winch (2:1 advantage comes from winch line moving 2x the distance of the load movement). This would work here though as the gas cans are only being lifted about halfway up the wall.

Since we also live in a hurricane prone area, this would be much better then the 6, 5 gal cans we use now for the season. I do have some concerns though. The cans in the back of car is a huge no no. They could easily get charged from the carpet then when going to fill discharge to pump and your car would be on fire. I would fill in the rear of the truck. They say that they should be actually on the ground when filling but they say a lot of stuff. Second thing I think I would do would be to have a fold out shelf that could fold out when fully raised then lower the cans down so most weight is sitting on shelf. Not sure how I feel about hanging them from the handles for long periods of time. This is a great idea and has me thinking of something similar now. Thanks for making this video.

@@mrmotofy Duh...lol! Of course, I've had many of them changed. I'm talking about this cheap thing, genius....lol!

For safety you should build a boxed shelf for jugs to set on and that move them away from the winch all so

[@michaelsfabwork2985]

Great idea I will be using that one for sure. Take care and stay safe.

Thanks 👍 Good luck with your setup!

That's an amazing system love it but have a few suggestions for version 2.0 if you ever make improvements. 1. Either move the motor to prevent interference with the right gas can, or put a shroud over the winch to allow the can to just slide over it. 2. See if there is a yellow can available for Diesel fuel to help prevent accidentally putting gas in a diesel engine and vice versa. 3. See if you can find a Nema 7 rated Winch to reduce your explosion risk due to vapor leaks or a spill during the operation of the winch motor. NEMA 7 is an enclosure rating that ensures no hazardous materials enter an area where there is electricity that could cause an explosion.

You might be able to make this setup with 1 cable by fixing the cable to the 2x4 on the right side. This would make a block and tackle. It might not work as the load may shift though. I would be concerned about static discharge and fueling in a garage. It might not be a problem with small fill ups, but the gas tank is suspended and not grounded.

[@Trialnerror]

You could but yes, this is only an even load for a short time when everything is full. After that it's never in balance so this setup keeps everything level.

[@benb2199]

That's an awesome idea!

Glad you think so! Thank you very much and thanks for watching!

Hey! Read the instructions. If you squeeze the handle repeatedly on the hose bib your Sceptere Duramax Flo 'n Go Caddy it will pump the fuel, up to your equipment from ground level.

[@Trialnerror]

It will but it takes FOREVER to get even a gallon out. If you're using it for leaf blowers and weed whackers, that would probably be OK. For larger tanks, you need to gravity feed.

i need to set something like this up in my lawn care trailer. thanks for your descriptive vid

Your aftermarket nozzle - I had the same problem. It's the rubber gasket. Take it out, look at it. You have to put it around the nozzle. There's a groove for it. Then it'll seal correctly. I've had no more problems with it. Cool setup. However I'm worried about using hooks on the plastic. It wasn't engineered for it. I'm afraid it'll split or bend and fail. Make sure you inspect them often. I've had gasoline containers fail on me before. It's no fun coming into a garage or shed when that happens.

[@JohnSmith-js3po]

Fatigue on the plastic handles would be my concern,I would put a bottom shelf on lift system to take some of the weight load , Murphy’s law is it will happen when your not home and burn down your garage

[@edradtke287]

good idea

[@jayf6525]

Very very cool. Nicely done.

[@donschaefer9442]

Great job. I think being cheap and lazy has lead to some great inventions.

I don't think your home insurance provider would like this.

that really cool i love it .great video

Wow! With 1 gallon of gas exploding with the same energy as 14 sticks of dynamite, that is one heck of a bomb you got in that trunk!
