Johndow Industries Gas Caddy - 30 Gallon Portable Gas Caddy Built for the Shop

If your shop handles diesel day in and day out, you can't afford a caddy that slows you down or creates a compliance headache. The Johndow Industries gas caddy FC-P30A-UL is a 30-gallon portable gas caddy built from steel, UL listed, and certified to meet OSHA guidelines for diesel handling. This isn't a consumer-grade can on wheels - it's a professional fuel transfer unit rated for the demands of a working shop environment.

The air-operated diaphragm pump is what sets this unit apart. Hook it to your shop air and you're pumping fuel - both dispensing and siphoning - without any manual priming or electric motor to maintain. The 4-way directional valve gives you precise control over fuel flow, and the 8' PVC hose with an internal grounding wire keeps static buildup out of the equation. At 165 lbs fully configured, it rolls where you need it on 12" fixed rear wheels and 5" locking swivel front casters, then stays put when the casters are locked.

The 10-micron internal filter protects your equipment from particulate contamination every time you transfer fuel. That's the kind of detail that prevents a $15 caddy problem from turning into a $1,500 injector problem. Replacement filter options at 1, 10, and 30 microns are available, so you can dial in filtration for your specific application. One john dow 30-gallon gas caddy handles 30 gallons per fill - enough capacity to run multiple vehicles before you're stopping to refuel the caddy itself. Orders ship free to the lower 48, and our team is reachable at (855) 498-2147 if you have questions before you buy.

What's Included

  • UL Listed cast iron rotary pump with carbon vanes and Viton seals
  • 8' PVC suction/discharge hose with internal grounding wire
  • 4-way directional valve
  • 10-micron internal filter
  • Ground wire and clamp
  • Fill spout
  • Vented fill cap
  • Decal set for content identification

Installation & Setup

This caddy runs on compressed shop air - no electrical hookup, no wiring. Connect your air line to the diaphragm pump and you're operational. Make sure your shop air supply is clean and at appropriate pressure for the pump to function correctly; check your compressor output against the pump's air requirements before first use.

Grounding is built into the hose design with an internal grounding wire, but you'll also want to connect the included ground wire and clamp to a suitable ground point during every fuel transfer. This is both a best practice and an OSHA requirement for diesel handling. The vented fill cap manages tank pressure during refilling - use it every time you top off the caddy. Don't swap in an unvented cap.

The 5" front swivel casters lock in place - engage them before you start pumping so the caddy doesn't roll under hose pressure. Initial setup is straightforward and no special tools are required to get it ready for service.

Applications

Automotive Service Shops

Keep diesel and biodiesel on hand for service vehicles, work trucks, and fleet clients without running back to the pump. Thirty gallons covers a full morning of fueling without a refill run.

Fleet Maintenance Facilities

The OSHA-compliant design and UL listed pump make this a straightforward choice for facilities that need to document safe handling practices. The decal set keeps content clearly identified on the floor.

Agricultural Operations

Diesel equipment in the field doesn't always sit next to a fuel tank. This 30-gallon portable fuel transfer caddy moves fuel to the equipment - tractors, generators, and off-road machinery - without a secondary vehicle.

Construction & Equipment Yards

Air-operated pumping and a heavy steel build hold up in rough-use environments. The locking casters keep the caddy stable on uneven concrete or compacted surfaces while you're fueling heavy equipment.

Q: How fine is the filtration on this unit? A: The caddy ships with a 10-micron internal filter installed. Replacement filter options at 1, 10, and 30 microns are available, so you can run finer filtration for sensitive equipment or coarser filtration for faster flow rates depending on your application.

Q: Is grounding taken care of by the hose, or do I need to attach the ground wire separately? A: Both. The 8' PVC hose includes an internal grounding wire that handles static dissipation during transfer. The unit also includes a separate ground wire and clamp that should be connected to a suitable ground point during every fuel transfer - this is a standard OSHA requirement for diesel handling, not optional.

Q: Can I use this caddy for biodiesel blends? A: Yes. The FC-P30A-UL is specifically listed for both diesel and biodiesel applications. The Viton seals in the UL listed cast iron rotary pump head are compatible with biodiesel - Viton is a common seal choice for biodiesel service precisely because of its chemical resistance.
