VP Racing 3812-CA, 5.5-Gallon Square Motorsport Jug Pink (1 Pack) w/ 14" Deluxe Hose (1 Pack) Close-Trimmed Cap and Neck for Tight Seal

What It Is

The VP Racing 3812-CA is a 5.5-gallon square fuel jug (pink) paired with a 14-inch deluxe hose, designed for transporting and pouring gasoline or premixed fuel into lawn mowers, tractors, ATVs, and other small engines. The close-trimmed cap and neck create a tight seal to minimize spills and fumes.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Not machine-specific: Fits any gas-powered mower, zero-turn, or tractor with a standard fuel tank opening (typically 1.5–2 inches wide).
• Check your fuel type: Works with gasoline, ethanol blends, and premix (e.g., 50:1). Not for diesel or kerosene.
• Hose length: 14-inch hose reaches most mower tanks, but verify your fill port depth—deeper tanks may need a longer hose (sold separately).
• CARB/EPA compliance: Meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA standards for portable fuel containers. Legal in all 50 states.
• No adapters needed: Direct pour, no special nozzles. The close-trimmed cap fits standard openings without wobbling.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty HDPE plastic resists dents and leaks; the pink color is cosmetic (same as black/gray versions) but helps identify fuel type (e.g., premix vs. straight gas).
• Installation difficulty: None—just remove the cap, insert hose, and pour. No assembly required.
• Common gotchas: The 5.5-gallon capacity is heavy when full (~33 lbs). The hose is flexible but can kink if bent sharply. The close-trimmed cap may be snug on some older mower necks—test fit first.
• Spout design: The “no-spill” auto-close feature works well, but you must hold the jug upright to stop flow; tilting too much can cause drips.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a large, spill-resistant fuel jug for multiple mowers or frequent refueling, and you value a tight seal and CARB compliance. Skip it if you prefer a smaller, lighter container (e.g., 2.5-gallon) or need a flexible, universal nozzle for odd-shaped tanks. For $42.99, it’s a solid value with high user satisfaction.
