I absolutely love my tractor. The one thing I have always hated with a passion was refueling it. At least in California, I am unable to buy any fuel canister with the gold old fashion free flow spout anymore. Instead they have some stupid thing that is supposed to cause less spills and vapors. It doesn't work at all.
For the past several years I have been using a funnel and holding a 5 gallon fuel can in the air poring the fuel. I was always at the mercy of the wind. And not to mention is just sucks holding that 5 gallon jug. The wind blows the funnel and the fuel around. After every refuel I had to stop by the spigot and hose it down.
At $100.00 I was putting off the cost but on one windy day I had enough. I purchased a Duramax Flo-n-go that holds 14 gallons and resembles a regular fuel pump.
I place it in my FEL, raise it and fuel care free. No more hassle or mess. Easy as could be.
The flow n go has a detachable hose at the bottom. There is a shut off valve on the tank side and one on the hose. The cap to fill it has a small vent that unscrews for fueling the tractor.
When it's empty I shut both valves, remove the hose and insure the vent is closed then place it in the back of my truck.
There are two wheels at the bottom for easy ground maneuvering.
The box is misleading as it shows a person using it to fill a lawn mower with the fueling tank on the ground. The only way to do this is to repeatedly squeeze the handle as it is now a pump. Otherwise, as long as the flo n go is raised above my tractor gravity does all the work.
