Makes My Job MUCH Easier, August 14, 2008
By PedrosMama from Cincinnati, Ohio

"My husband travels alot, and leaves me with acres of land to mow during the summer months. I used to have to lift heavy 5 gallon cans of fuel to fill my tractor. As part of my anniversary gift, my husband bought me the Blitz Professional Fuel Station! WOW am I a happy grass cutter!! This is a dream for me, it makes my job so much easier, it is so very convenient and easy enough for a woman to use. Thank you Northern Tool for displaying this product in the catalog. Now I am going to start taking your catalog to work with me, to share with my coworkers. Just goes to prove, women can find something too in Northern's stock of tools."

a real back and fuel saver, August 11, 2008
By buckisland from coastal South Caroina

"I mounted the tank on the frame of a Agri-Fab utility trailer. Added a fuel filter and small 12v pump. I no longer lean over a fuel tank with a gas can hoping to tip it back in time ti keep from over filling it. Just release the valve and the gas stops flowing. Either tow the tank to the piece of equipment or take the equipment to the tank. That simple. It is ideal for anyone that has a lot of small landscape type of equipment."

leaks until fixed, August 11, 2008
By dougf from western colorado

"The fittings require quite a bit of torque to keep from leaking, and after one tankful, the nozzle leaked out of the plunger valve. Got on Blitz's website, where they obviously have handled this problem many times, and got a quick reply.
They promised a new nozzle, but had to re-email their confirmation back to the nice lady who made the promise after nothing showed up for a couple of weeks. The nozzle arrived FedEx a couple of days later, and it works.
I don't mind having a problem with a good product, and appreciate companies that stand by what they sell. The item is useful, and should last for years."

Blitz Pro-Fuel Station, April 22, 2008
By chile46 from Texas

"Hey, I've read other reviews here,some negative but ordered the can anyway. Dont know why product took several kicks during reviews because I find it to be great ! Quality thru-ought welding process, 1/4 turn brass cut off valve, hose fittings and fueling nozzle are superb by my usual discerning standards. All and all a great product.

Thanks....Chile'

Not yet refined, April 21, 2008
By OkieLandscaper from Oklahoma

"I ordered the Blitz 15-Gallon Professional Fuel Station™, Model# 11055 . I recieved it a day before due date which was great. I put the Blitz 15-Gallon Professional Fuel Station™, Model# 11055 together and had problems with it leaking. The place for the hose connection needs to be rethaught of and you can not mount it so that you can empty the tank all the way. Also you can not tell how much gas is in the container. I have since removed the Blitz 15-Gallon Professional Fuel Station™, Model# 11055 from my trailer and went back to the 6 gallon plastic gas cans"

Blitz Professional Fuel Station, model 11055, April 21, 2008
By Petunia from TX

"The fuel station would be a great product with the exception of a faulty turn on handle in the metal fuel nozzle. When you grip the handle to make the fuel flow the on/off handle seperates from the nozzle frame. You have to stop refueling and attach the handle. I thought it was just me so I asked my wife to fuel up a vehicke and the grip in the handle came apart for her also. The manufacture needs to find a better way to attach the grip. With this done it would be an excellent product"

Fuel Station, January 22, 2008
By aluebbert from Central Missouri

"I bought this product to handle fuel for my tractor. It works great no loss of fuel, but it is difficult getting this product at a high enough for the fuel to get into my tractor. Other equipment like mowers and yard equipment it won't be as big a problem."

Great Product, January 21, 2008
By pat12 from Phila, PA

"I am a landscaper and I bolted one of these tanks to my trailer. It works great. It makes it a lot easier and I dont spill any gas doing it. I actually got another one so I can have mix and straight gas. The nozzel could be a little better but it really wouldnt stop me from gettting another one. I read that some tanks have some small debri in the tank when they recieved, my tank had a little also but i just stuck the vacuum hose in it. Not a big deal. I would recommend doing that anyway since you are putting that gas into some sort of engine."

Blitz 15-gal Fuel Station, January 15, 2008
By FXRS from Mansfield, Mass

"My intent for this tank was to put it in the back of my truck when I tow my 5th wheel travel trailer . The truck is a desiel and sometimes desiel fuel is hard to
find .
I had to attach 20" 2x4's to the feet to make it more stable in the back of the truck. Also with 15 gallons of desiel fuel it weighs over 100
pounds and has to be lifted up to get the fule to flow into the truck's tank , maybe a hand pump or electric pump could be offered as an option .
Overall the tank is well built and works great as long as the tank is above
what has to be filed ."

No problems, January 14, 2008
By Fast from Fresno, Ca

"It's not quite as fast as something with a pump, but it works fine for me. The tank was clean, but the fittings were loose, so check them before you fill it up."

Good Not Perfect, December 11, 2007
By Rottresq from Colorado Springs CO

"Bought this last May to fuel my BobCat Utility Vehicle with diesel.

PROS: Unit is well made. Nozzle works well, thread connections are brass and hose line is heavy plastic. I mounted it in my barn up about 8-10 inches above the level of the fuel filler on the BobCat. Used a piece of 3/4 inch plywood supported by a 2 X 4 frame screwed to the barn's studs. 15 gallons of diesel is heavy plus the weight of the tank.

CONS: The supplied mounting bolts are a little hard to attach because they are inside the feet of the tank, not socket accessible. Open end wrench or rachet wrench time, and slow go. The hose is a little short, another 18 inches would be nice. I understand that it was designed for a trailer mount so I guess they thought a short hose would do. As to the complaint that its a slow filler, no, its not a powered unit, it drains by gravilty, but I knew that before I bought it, so it was no suprise. Fills my 6 gal tank in about 3-4 minutes, quick enough for me.

I would advise using yellow gas line tape on all thread connections, and fuel stabilizer."

works, October 8, 2007
By lawnman2 from Fairhope Al

"Works great mounted on fender well to fill mowers. Had a leak in nozzle contacted Blitz and in days had complete replacement kit. If you have to transport gas this is a safe easy way. With the gas prices as they are the chance of theft is high. I had a guy at a conveniace store walk by and grb the handle and found out it was bolted down the hardway."

Fuel Station, August 12, 2007
By MustangDave from South Bend, IN

"I purchased this for my mother-in-law to use for filling her lawn mower. Before she even finished the first tank ( about two months) the inside of the nozzle came apart and the gas was spraying out (a lot) through the release valve and running all over the nozzle making it totally unusable. And yes after one month no warranty."
