I was expecting the tank to build pressure and the gas cap to leak. The tank builds pressure on the sun and doesn’t vent, but the cap seals well and didn’t get gas all over my boat.It’s a good gas tank, no complains so far.

Bought this for spare for my Jon boat . I was amazed when I received it seeing how thick of material it's made of. Not made cheap like some of the others on the market.seems to hold the hose securely with no leaks.

I have used this product on my boat for several months. That means many, many times. In every way, this fuel tank works exactly as promised. Attwood has always delivered as good or better than expected. I highly recommend the tank and anything with the Attwood brand.

New tanks don't vent and are designed to bulge in the sun thanks to are wonderful government. Confident the people making these decisions have never used a gas tank that has been in the sun. Not the manufacturers fault.The fitting on the tank for the fuel line is okay. It works but its a bit flimsy and the threads don't seem very robust. Plan on putting a fitting in one time for best results.

This tank is well designed, and just the right capacity. When full it is light enough, because it’s only a 3 gallon tank, the 6 gallon tank are way to heavy to carry any distance.

No problems with this tank ut I do wish it had a vent on the fuel cap.

Seems to be well constructed of thick plastic. Should provide many year of service. So far no problems with the cap that other reviewers have stated, but I do not leave the tank in the Sun when not in use. When received the cap was on very tight.Had to take off one star, to install the fuel line connector the fuel gauge had to be removed. I could have removed a second star because the hole for the fuel line was not plugged, could allow dirt and debris to enter the tank during handling and shipping. Not too concerned , I added a fuel filter to my fuel line assembly. To remove the fuel gauge channel lock type pliers were required, I was concerned that might creat a leak, but so far no problems. I used a disconnect fuel line connection, if you use a straight connector gauge would not require removal.Odd, to me, instructions suggests using sealing (Teflon type) tape on the threads, seems this would not be necessary with brass threads into plastic, but I did it.I expect many years of use from this tank.

This tank requires the proprietary Attwood fuel hose TM (sold separately) in order to not leak everywhere. Be advised that you must connect the fuel line to this tank if you're going to fill it up with gas. You cannot just fill the tank up first and then connect the 6' hose later.So I ordered this tank to replace a very old metal Johnson outboard tank with a built-in valve. The Atwood fuel line shipped separately - this becomes important later on in the story. I got my new gas tank (sans fuel hose) and drove 30 minutes to the nearest gas station that sells ethanol-free gas. Pumped 3 gallons into the tank. As it turns out, there is no safety stop or anything smart like that built into the "proprietary Attwood fuel connection" valve. It just oozes gasoline out of the valve because its an open hole. Stupid me for thinking that this new hi-tech Attwood tank would have the same basic features as the 50-year old metal gas tank I was replacing it with.As I watched raw gasoline bubbling out of the valve and running over the side of the gas tank and into a small pool on the concrete, I had to make a decision: Do I drive home with this obvious fire hazard in my car? How will I keep my car from smelling like gasoline? Do I just bail on it and throw my new $60 gas tank (full of now around 2.8 gallons of $3.57 per-gallon gas) away? How does one even dispose of such a thing safely? I can't just toss it in the dumpster of the gas station, can I? After some deliberation, I decided to drive the 30 minutes back home across what felt like nineteen sets of train tracks with this leaking tank in the passenger seat of my car. The gas station staff were helpful and we managed to tape a wad of paper towels over the leaking valve to at least minimize the fuel splashing out of it. It mostly didn't work. My car now smells like a refinery and I was borderline hallucinating from the fumes by the time I got home.The stupid fuel hose arrived the next day. I screwed the hose into the valve and yes, the tank stopped pouring out gasoline. So I guess the tank works? Why does the tank not ship with the fuel line? Or at least ship it with a temporary plug to stop the valve from leaking gas JUST IN CASE some moron like me buys the two pieces separately and attempts to fill the tank before installing the fuel hose? I mean, the Attwood company could design and produce a plastic screw-on plug for the valve that would cost like $.02 to produce and would avoid the whole "you might accidentally burn to death if you don't also buy a separate product for this gas tank". Its like selling a gas stove where the knob to turn off the stove's burner is sold separately.Better question: How does a company in 2021 design something that is outclassed in every possible way by the OEM gas tanks from 50 years ago? My old Johnson outboard tank had a built-in valve that never spilled and worked perfectly 100% of the time. You could fill that old tank without the fuel line being attached. With the marvels of modern engineering, plastics technology and product design, the Attwood company managed to create a product so woefully dangerous and stupid that it defies belief. How these Attwood people manage to feed themselves without accidentally blinding themselves with the fork is beyond my capacity to reason.TL;DR - If you have the option to buy any other brand of gas tank out there on the market instead of this one, do so.

It was not a 3 gallon like I ordered, but was compact enough to fit under the boat seat for the kicker motor. Worked out better, so there was more gas onboard. I switched out the cap, for an airflow one, as this doesn't have an air release to allow more flow. Sturdy and portable if need be.
