can this lay down on its back full of fuel for transport to and from filling station back to home? Or will this leak if layed down?

Do not know as my son in law filled it; however after filling it the weight of 25 gal was more than he could lift and he carries carpet all day. He needed help to get it off truckYou could email the retailer who sells it on amazon. I have, and they respond quickly with answers

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.

We have not tried taking ours to the filling station so far, we have used smaller containers to full it then pump the fuel into it. We thought that might be too heavy and difficult to handle. Look luck.

No, it will leak out of the vent hole on the filler cap, and probably out of the plastic gauge. Be prepared to do some heavy lifting after it's filled. I use the front end loader on my tractor to get it off my truck. Al

It is unfilled, naturally. It could not be shipped filled, because then it would be a hazardous device. It also might well leak if shipped a long distance or jostled in transit.

The nozzle / hose comes off and the top is tightened down with a rubber seal. If the seal is good and tight it won't leak upside down. I store mine on its side in the back of my truck.

Yes but it was never designed as a transfer pump. I tried to transfer fuel with this pump and it is very slow. I would say if you are doing over 20 gallons buy two pumps or search for an actual transfer pump or just be able to let it run over night.also some clear hose on the intake side may be a good idea if you are having to put together multiple connections. this way you will know if there is an air leak somewhere. if i didn't have a clear hose i never would have none there was a leak in my setup and it is amazing how the smallest air leak can greatly cut the amount of fuel you pull. just a suggestion Yes but it was never designed as a transfer pump.

If you setup and balance everything right probably less than 2 minutes or less however,you'll have some residual fluid leftover in the funnel hen done so find a pare container somewhere to put the funnel so it can drain while you wrap up\seal your containers. This residual leftover fuel may or may not filter and drain out as I've noticed when doing gasoline so, rather than wait I find a safe place\resealable container and dispose of it.

It's not suppose to be hock up to the fuel system of the truck engine. But it can be hock up to the fuel tank by a fuel inlet kit. Once you fill the fuel tank of the engine( main) you close the petcock. If not you will drain it on the ground. And you good to go just keep the petcock close unless you need to fill the main tank up. Remember if you leave the petcock open it will over fill you tank up

Yes, but you have to push it down a bit to snug it up. I haven't had a problem with mine leaking once I do that.

I maintains its shape whether it is full or empty. You can probably flatten it down and keep it bungeeied down if you want, but I never did. I ride my ATV hard and it did not come loose and malfunction in any way. Great Value if you do not want to pay the high cost of hard shell cargos.

The very 1st time I filled it up I filled the factory tank up too. I left the valve on the RDS tank open and a small amount of fuel leaked fr somewhere under the truck. Since then I have not had any problem. My truck is a 2014 Ford F350.

Yes, taking it to the gas station works best! We used it at my family reunion this summer, and despite my husband's protests, we stopped and inflated it with an air compressor. It took just seconds, however it didn't leave much room in the backseat for the rest of my family after it was inflated:)

Haven't used it that way, but they look very secure and like they would not leak if sealed as they come. That said, the pump to get the water out couldn''t obviously be used in that position. How would you access the water? They would be so heavy when full that you couldn't realistically lay them down or right them after they were filled. Filling while on its side empty, you couldn't fill completely... Hope this helps.

The MSR Fuel bottle is completely hermetic (even to vapors) and is specifically designed to transport liquid fuels. This specific bottle has no leaks and the seals are in working condition. Thank you for your question.

It doesn't leak but you have to keep it perfectly leveled. attaching it to your bike most likely won't work unless you have a three-wheeler and will avoid the hills at all costs :)

Yes but capacity becomes an issue. I piped 2small propane tanks togeather and use them as auxiliary air storage when I'm using a lot of air

I use it on a school bus. I have two of them I carry on the bus. They bounce around a lot and I've never had a leak except when I overfilled it.

NOT leak proof!!!! I would put dry goods in it. If you are able to transport it while keeping it upright, then I would put thicker sauce in there, but definately nothing runny.

This tank may work fine for supplying the fireplaces, but do you want the propane company to deliver fuel to your house (instead of needing to take this tank to a place yourself)? If so, then they may have certain requirements like a special connector for filling, so talk to them before buying this. This tank when filled weighs 150+ lbs, so it's not easy to throw in a truck and run.
