Portable fueling stations (often called fuel caddies or portable diesel tanks) are mobile containers designed to move fuel to equipment safely. Most include a sealed tank, a transfer pump, a hose, and a dispensing nozzle.

• Pumps: You’ll typically see manual hand/rotary pumps or 12V electric pumps that draw from the tank and send fuel through the hose.
• Fill and venting: A fill cap and vent help manage pressure as you dispense, following the product’s instructions.
• Use cases: Refueling lawn equipment, generators, small boats, or off-road machinery.
• Safety: Keep the tank upright, away from ignition sources, and only use fuels the tank is rated for. Some units are diesel-only—check the product details. Local transport and storage rules can vary, so review regulations and the owner’s manual.

Start with how much fuel you actually use and how you’ll move it. Bigger tanks reduce refills, but they’re heavier and need more storage space.

• Usage: Think about the equipment you refuel and how often. Occasional refills may need a smaller caddy; frequent refueling may benefit from a larger capacity.
• Portability: Two-wheel caddies can be easier to move on smooth, level surfaces. If you’ll transport in a vehicle, check dimensions and tie-down points.
• Pump style: Match capacity with a manual or 12V pump based on how fast you want to transfer fuel.
• Fit and features: Review hose length, nozzle type, and any notes about compatible fuels on the product page. Comparing specs on Walmart.com can help you narrow the options.

It’s generally best to dedicate a tank to one fuel type to reduce cross-contamination and protect engines and seals. Many portable tanks clearly state compatible fuels, and some are labeled diesel-only.

• Check compatibility: Review the product description and labeling for approved fuels.
• Avoid mixing: Don’t switch between gasoline and diesel in the same tank without the manufacturer’s guidance.
• Labeling: Mark the tank with the fuel type and date, so it’s clear what’s inside.
• Maintenance: Follow the manual for cleaning procedures if the tank needs to be repurposed. Local regulations may apply to storage and transport, so it’s a good idea to verify requirements in your area.

Both move fuel from the tank to your equipment, but they fit different needs.

• Manual pumps: Hand or rotary styles don’t need power, are simple to use, and can be a good choice for occasional refueling or remote areas. Flow rate is typically more modest.
• 12V electric pumps: Draw power from a 12V source (like a battery) and can offer faster transfer. Proper wiring, fusing, and polarity are important; always follow the product’s instructions.
• Considerations: Look at flow rate, duty cycle, hose length, and nozzle type on the product page. With any pump, practice anti-static precautions, use approved containers, and keep the work area clear of ignition sources.

You can often find replacement hoses, nozzles, gaskets, or pumps by searching the model name or number on Walmart.com and reviewing compatible accessories on the product pages.

• Identify the model: Keep your manual handy for part numbers and specifications.
• Check compatibility: Use the product description and customer Q&A to confirm fit before ordering.
• Maintenance needs: If you’re replacing wear items like seals or hoses, inspect for cracks, stiffness, or leaks and replace as needed.
• Additional help: If a specific part isn’t listed, contacting the manufacturer for exact part numbers can make your Walmart search easier. Availability can vary by item and season.
