Blitz 15 Gallon Fuel Tank,
November 9, 2009
By Knez
from Monroe, MI
"Perfect for filling my tractor. Dispenses a little slow. A little unstable to carry when half full. Can fill the tractor twice with the recommended capacity of 14.3 gallons."

Blitz portable fuel transfer tank,
July 20, 2009
By rlstay
from Isle, MN
"The tank works well. The tank is a little heavy when full to move out of the transporting vehicle to its use location. The nozzle runs slightly slower than I exspected, but has no leaks, and is of good quality. Overall, the tank is great for my use of transporting fuel to my boat on the boatlift. I would highly recommend this tank, as long as you realize the total wieght of the full tank if you have to move it while full."

15-Gallon fuel station,
July 13, 2009
By Argus
from North east Texas
"Ordered the 15 gallon Blitz fuel station to use on my Dodge one ton truck. The 15 gallons is just less (volume wise) than half a tank on the truck. With the fuel station it gives me about 775 to 800 miles of travel time before refueling becomes necessary. I used it in June,'09 on vacation from East Texas to the Hoover Dam in Arizona. Pulling a travel trailer and driving into a head wind on some days, gas mileage was less than expected. The fuel station gave me the extra miles in several instances to make it to our scheduled over night stop without having to find a gas station. Using it at rest stops for breaks ( we took pets with us) it made it very convenient. The unit is well built, easy to assemble, and has become a component in my truck inventory right next to the jack."

Fuel Station,
November 17, 2008
By Genman
from Las Vegas, NV
"I use the Blitz 15 gallon fuel station to fuel my ATV"S it works great. It is much easier to fill this unit and leave it in the bed of the pickup and use the hose to reach down to the ATV's than it is to use multiple smaller plastic containers by lifting them in and out and fussing with the plastic fill necks that always leak fuel. Using it is as easy as using a fuel pump hose at the gas station. The only minor issue is the valve at the bottom of the tank is difficult to use."

Rough start but now it works well,
November 17, 2008
By bcor
from VA
"I ordered 2 of these to fuel all my stuff, atvs, mowers, etc. Make sure all the threads are sealed with liquid teflon sealer. I just used the tape and then after filling I found I had a leak. It was a real pain to empty and redo everything. One of the units had a bad nozzle that just sprayed fuel everywhere. Northern Tool has awesome customer service and sent a replacement right away.
I installed some shelves that keep these up high so there is no problem with fuel flow. They are pretty heavy when full and getting them up on the shelves is a bit of a challenge but once there they work great.
The hose holds quite a bit of fuel so you need to pay attention when filling tanks if you want to get all the fuel out of the hose for storage.
The nozzle holds a fair amount of fuel also and doesn't stop immediately when you release the handle. You need to pay particular attention when you are filling small tanks.
Convenience of this product outweighs the negatives in my opinion."

Nice Fuel Station,
October 5, 2008
By hllon4whls
from SE Louisiana
"I bought this tank about 1 month ago. I read all the reviews and found that they were were acceptable. I was not dissapointed when mine arrived. All of the fittings bolted onto the tank were tight and had a visible sealer applied. No leaks after filling it.
My use for this tank is a safe and easy way to store some extra fuel for the hurricane season. Ran my generator for 4 days after gustav and wished I had not procrastinated in buying one last year.
The fuel flow is a little slow. The hose is large, but the hose fittings neck down to about a 3/8 on each threaded side. Its not an issue for my intentions. I may order a little 12v pump to make things a little quicker. I want the ability to fill a running generator or hot lawnmower with some control and precision.
As is or with a little ingenuity, this tank has countless uses. Boats, RV, reserve fuel capacity. Neat little tank and a decent price.
Suggestions for improvement:
Fuel level gauge.
Holder for the nozzle.
Dirt protector for nozzle tip."

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."

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"

"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."
