VP Racing 3852-CA, 5.5 Gallon Motorsport Jug V-Twin Sq. - Black/Orange

What It Is

The VP Racing 3852-CA is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fuel jug designed for transporting and storing gasoline for lawn mowers, ATVs, and other small engines. It holds 5.5 gallons and features a V-Twin square shape for stable stacking and a no-spill, self-venting spout.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Not mower-specific: This jug fits any machine that takes gasoline—no deck size or brand restrictions. Works with push mowers, zero-turns, tractors, and handheld equipment.
• Check spout size: The included spout fits standard 1-inch and 1.5-inch filler necks, but some newer mowers with capless or restricted fill ports may require an adapter (not included).
• Fuel type: Compatible with gasoline, ethanol blends up to E10, and race fuel. Not for diesel or kerosene.
• CARB/EPA compliance: Meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA requirements for portable fuel containers. Check your local regulations if you’re outside the US.

Key Things to Know

• No-spill spout works well but can drip: The self-venting design reduces spills, but the spout’s O-ring can wear over time—inspect it annually and replace if cracked.
• Handle is sturdy but not lockable: The integrated handle is strong for carrying, but there’s no locking mechanism on the cap. Keep out of reach of children.
• Square shape saves space: The V-Twin design stacks neatly in truck beds or sheds, unlike round jugs. It also sits flat on most mower decks for filling.
• No fuel gauge: Unlike some competitors, this jug has no level window or float—you’ll need to lift or tilt to estimate remaining fuel.

Should You Buy It

If you need a durable, CARB-compliant fuel jug for your mower or other small engines and value stackability over a fuel gauge, this is a solid choice. The 5.5-gallon capacity is ideal for filling a zero-turn or tractor 2-3 times before refilling. Skip it if you want a translucent container or a locking cap.
