VP Racing 3582-CA, 5.5 Gallon Square Motorsport Jug Black & 14 Inch Hose

What It Is

The VP Racing 3582-CA is a 5.5-gallon square fuel jug with a 14-inch hose, designed for transporting and dispensing racing fuel, ethanol blends, or gasoline for high-performance lawn equipment (e.g., zero-turn mowers, commercial walk-behinds) and motorsport use. It’s not a mower part itself but a refueling accessory for machines that need bulk, spill-resistant fuel handling.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size/model: No deck or brand-specific fit—works with any mower that accepts standard fuel cans. The 14-inch hose fits most fuel tank openings (approx. 1.5–2.5 inches diameter).
• OEM vs aftermarket: Aftermarket only; not a direct OEM replacement for any mower part.
• Measurements: Jug dimensions: 14.5” x 12” x 10.5”. Hose outer diameter: ~0.75”. Ensure your mower’s tank neck can accommodate the hose tip (tapered, fits 1.5”+ openings).
• Check before buying: Verify your mower’s fuel tank cap opening size. If you have a small residential mower (e.g., push mower with a 0.75” neck), the hose may be too large. Also confirm the jug cap seal matches your fuel type (ethanol-resistant for E10/E15).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty HDPE plastic resists cracking from fuel additives and drops. Square shape maximizes storage stability.
• Installation difficulty: None—no assembly required. The 14-inch hose is pre-attached and flexible.
• Common gotchas: The hose is not removable; if it gets damaged, the whole jug must be replaced. The jug is not DOT-approved for transport of gasoline on public roads in all states—check local laws. The cap vent can leak if over-tightened; hand-tighten only.
• Spout design: Includes a self-venting cap that may not fit mower tanks with deep filler necks—test fit before filling.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own commercial mowing equipment (zero-turn, stand-on) or race vehicles that require bulk fuel storage and need a durable, spill-resistant jug with a long hose for easy tank access. Skip it for small push mowers or tight storage spaces—the 5.5-gallon size is bulky and the hose may not fit narrow filler necks.
