gas tank size? Does anyone know if the Eagle 5 gallon gas can with 7/8" nozzle will fit into a standard gas tank filler opening? I think 5/8" might be better.

More than a few of the reviewers I had read discussed using the 7/8" hose to put gas into their cars. At least one said the 7/8" will go into his vehicle that takes regular unleaded gas. One reviewer reported that he temporarily got his stuck in the car inlet because there was a small brass lip at the end of the nozzle. His solution was to file the lip off and has not had any issue since doing so. A repeated comment was that in order to empty the can into ones car one would need a funnel to allow more space between the car and the gas can; otherwise, the can may not be tilted high enough without hitting the side of the car.

I've just been out and tried the 7/8" nozzle. It worked fine on all my cars and trucks, but on my '87 Sunrader RV, the brass nozzle got stuck on withdrawal. I had to jiggle it a bit to get it out.

The 7/8" nozzle basically fits tightly into the hole in the filler for a modern car running unleaded gasoline. That means that it can be hard to pull out, because the tip has a bit of a notch on it. It may feel like it's stuck in there when you try to withdraw the hose (but it will come out if you wiggle it around). For this reason, it might make more sense to get the 5/8" instead.

I love mine, but the brass end of the flex hose needed a little work. it was slightly arrow shaped so it would go into a vehicle fuel receiver fine but was very tricky to get back out. A few minutes spinning the brass end carefully on the grinder (off the can of course) and I had the brass trimmed down at the back edge to the same OD as the front edge. Now the flex can be inserted into a standard auto fuel receiver AND taken back out. just rite.

I used the one made for a previous gauge. Think it should be 2 and 1/8 inch diameter. Suggest you contact Moeller to get specifics. I used the Moeller gauge which was compatible with the tank.

Yes No Problem.. I used a 3/8 air gun and it doesn't faze it. Also it doesn't run all the time. I can blow myself off with the air hose with out it coming on and whe it does, It's run time is short. I'm used to 60-120 gallons.. This thing really surprises me..

This is only fuel filters with the bracket and hose!!!It does not contain the fuel caddy!!! I found one on eBay for a little less than $200 shipping included. To answer you original question, yes they have a filler neck on top you can fill with a regular gas can.

Tis does not directly answer your question, but I bought and used a 20 lb. tank and had no problems. I never used a small gas canister. I'd suggest asking a gas supplier for ideas on how to correct the problem.

Hi, Good post you have here, and I'm almost ready to go out and buy this Cuisinart bbq grill. About the propane tank filling up thingy: you really don't need to guess anymore about how much gas is left in your tank. At Walmart, H. Depot, Harbor Freight, etc. you can get a small gauge hookup that you just quickly screw into your tank-to-grill hoses, and just keep tabs on the amount of gas you have left by looking at the glass gauge. I think it's around $15-19. Just thought I'd throw that in.

No, I use gas cans to fill. I just put the nozzle into the gas can and back pump the fuel out of the can.

I don't recall the size of my tank, but it's a full sized tank for your standard gas grill. This hose hooked up in 30 seconds and I've been using for some time without any issues. My gut would say yes as long as it's standard adapter size.

I actually use a full tank as I have in on a stand. A friend if mine bought the same thing and used the small canisters that most campers use. Love this grill.

Yes & its not a big deal. Many heating & ac stores will do it for you. You will need a flex supply hose (required & avalible via amazon). Remove the short connection hose & regulator from the grill as you will attach the new flex line direct. Next remove the 3 jets & drill them out to a larger size. Natural gas is not high pressure. Contact heating & ac store for size of drill bit. I had my converted by a pro & really have enjoyed the ease of natural gas & no hassel of tank replacement. Good luck hope tkis helps. Bill

The 3/8" in the description is defining the maximum I.D. For your peace of mind I measured its I.D. as Min of 5/16" Max of 3/8". If you are using a standard small boat 6 gallon gas tank (Original tank was from 1974 which I replaced with a new all plastic tank and this line fit on both) it seems to be an exact replacement for Mercury and Johnson fittings sliding on tightly, but I would still use a screw clamp on either end. You will need to re-use your existing fittings and clamps or buy new ones to match your motor and tank fittings.

Sorry, I don't know the specifics of that particular gas can, what I can tell you is that it fits the regular plastic red cans currently on the market; your best bet is just to spend a few dollars and try it.

Works the best with 5 gallon container as the tube that goes into container is quite long. Working for me. I use it to fill snow blower. Can needs to be above the line of gas tank. I put gas can on bench next to snow blower and then as you pump with your hand it works great. Good luck

The gas can does not have to be above the tank that you are filling. I have a 5 gal can on the floor and use the Terapump to fill a Scooter and a moped.

Not sure what a Blitz gas can is, but it is the standard size of any other opening for a spout on a gas can. This spout works excellent!

9"x12" This is a great item but apparently no one makes a gas can this size. If you find one please let me know.
