VP Racing 4042-CA, 5.5-Gallon Square Motorsport Jug Tactical Tan w/ 14" Deluxe Hose Close-Trimmed Cap and Neck for Tight Seal (1 Pack)

What It Is

This is a 5.5-gallon square fuel jug from VP Racing, designed for safely transporting and pouring gasoline for lawn mowers, tractors, ATVs, and other small engines. It includes a 14-inch deluxe hose and a close-trimmed cap/neck that creates a tight seal to reduce spills and fumes.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Fuel type: Works with gasoline, mixed fuel (2-cycle), and diesel. Not for kerosene or high-ethanol blends above E15 unless stated.
• Capacity: 5.5 gallons—fits most standard mower fuel tanks, but check your mower’s tank size to avoid overfilling.
• Neck size: The close-trimmed cap and neck are designed for a snug fit on most common fuel tank openings (typically 2-inch necks). Measure your mower’s fuel filler neck diameter before buying.
• Hose length: 14-inch hose is flexible enough for deep or recessed tanks. Ensure your mower’s tank opening allows the hose to reach without kinking.
• Brand/model: Universal—no specific OEM fitment. Works with any mower or equipment that accepts a standard gas can spout.

Key Things to Know

• Seal quality: The close-trimmed cap and neck reduce evaporation and leaks, but always check the gasket for damage after storage.
• Pouring ease: The square shape and handle make it easier to carry and pour than round jugs, but the hose can drip if not angled correctly.
• No vent button: Unlike some modern cans, this jug uses a manual vent cap. You must loosen it slightly to pour smoothly—tighten after use to prevent spills.
• Installation: No tools needed. Just screw the cap onto the jug and attach the hose. Zero difficulty.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a durable, large-capacity fuel jug for frequent mower use and want a reliable seal to minimize fumes and spills. It’s ideal for operators with multiple small engines or larger tanks (riding mowers, tractors). Skip it if you prefer a self-venting spout or need a smaller 2–3 gallon can for portability.
