JohnDow Industries PRO 30 - 30 Gallon Gas Caddy Built for Professional Shops

If you're moving fuel around a busy shop with a beat-up plastic caddy, you already know the drill: slow transfers, sketchy seals, and constant worry about whether the thing is actually safe. The JohnDow Industries PRO 30 steel gas caddy is a different category of tool. This is a 30 gallon gas caddy built to UL Listed and OSHA-compliant standards, pressure-tested for leakage, rupture, stability, and endurance before it leaves the factory. It's what a shop that takes fuel handling seriously actually uses.

The air-operated diaphragm pump connects to your existing shop air and moves fuel quickly in both directions. You're not priming a hand pump or waiting on gravity. Hook up the air line, flip the valve, and you're transferring. The 4-way directional valve controls flow to and from the vehicle clearly, so there's no second-guessing which way fuel is moving. The integrated 10-micron filter works in both directions too, protecting your customers' fuel pumps from contamination every time.

Available in red for gasoline and yellow for diesel or biodiesel, so there's no confusion on the floor about what's in the tank. The johndow industries gas caddy comes on 10-inch rear wheels and 5-inch locking front swivel casters - it rolls easily across a concrete floor and stays put when you need it locked in place. At 165 lbs. fully empty, it's substantial. This is a shop-grade unit, not a weekend warrior product.

What's Included

  • 30-gallon steel tank with fill spout
  • UL Listed air-operated diaphragm pump
  • 8-ft PVC suction/discharge hose (internal grounding wire)
  • 4-way directional valve
  • 10-micron in-line filter
  • Fill level gauge
  • Ground wire and clamp with side-mounted hanger
  • Decal set for content identification

Installation & Setup

Setup is straightforward. The caddy arrives assembled with the pump, hose, and hardware in place. You'll need a shop air supply to operate the diaphragm pump - connect your air line to the throttle control on top of the tank. No electrical connection required.

Ground wire first, every time. Before any fuel transfer, attach the included ground wire and clamp to the vehicle. The clamp and wire are mounted on a side hanger on the tank so they're always accessible and never left behind. This is a hard requirement for safe fuel handling and is built into the caddy's design, not an afterthought.

The 4-way valve controls suction and discharge direction. Familiarize your staff with the valve positions before the first use. Replacement filters - available in 1, 10, and 30 micron - should be sourced and kept on hand for routine maintenance. The 10-micron filter that ships with the unit is the standard starting point for most shop applications.

Applications

Automotive Service Shops

Transfer gasoline to and from customer vehicles during fuel system diagnostics, tank draining, or pre-delivery service. The 30-gallon steel tank handles a full shift without constant refilling.

Diesel Fleet Maintenance

The yellow diesel configuration is compliant for diesel and biodiesel handling. Fleet shops maintaining trucks, vans, or diesel equipment get a UL Listed, OSHA-compliant solution built for repeated daily use.

Dealership Service Departments

High-volume departments need tools that keep up. The air-powered pump moves fuel quickly without manual effort, and the locking casters keep the caddy stable during transfers even on a busy shop floor.

Equipment & Small Engine Repair

Draining and transferring fuel from lawn equipment, generators, and small engines is clean and controlled with the bi-directional 4-way valve. The 10-micron filter protects the fuel you're storing and the equipment you're servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fuel types can this gas caddy handle?

The JohnDow PRO 30 is available in two configurations: red for gasoline and yellow for diesel and biodiesel. The color coding matches OSHA and industry standards for fuel identification. Make sure you order the correct color for your shop's primary fuel type - the red unit is not rated for diesel service and vice versa.

Does this caddy require electricity, or does it run on shop air?

It runs entirely on shop air. The UL Listed air-operated diaphragm pump connects to your compressed air supply at the throttle control on top of the tank. No electrical connection or outlet is needed. This makes placement flexible - you're not tethered to an outlet on the shop floor.

What shop air pressure does the pump require?

The manufacturer data does not specify a minimum or maximum PSI requirement for the air diaphragm pump. Contact us at (855) 498-2147 before purchasing if your shop air setup has pressure limitations, and we can help confirm compatibility.

How does the ground wire work, and is it required for every transfer?

Yes, attaching the ground wire before every fuel transfer is required for safe operation. The included ground wire and clamp hang from a side-mounted hanger on the tank so they're always accessible. Clamp the wire to the vehicle's chassis or a designated grounding point before opening any fuel line. This prevents static discharge during transfer - a non-negotiable safety step with any flammable fuel.

Can the filter be replaced, and what micron ratings are available?

Yes. The in-line filter is serviceable and replacement filters are available in 1, 10, and 30 micron ratings. The unit ships with a 10-micron filter installed, which is the standard choice for most automotive and fleet applications. Finer filtration (1 micron) is available for applications that demand it; coarser (30 micron) moves fuel faster with less restriction. Call us at (855) 498-2147 for filter availability.

How heavy is the caddy, and will it be difficult to move around the shop?

The empty unit weighs 165 lbs. It's a substantial piece of equipment, but it's built to move. The 10-inch heavy-duty rear wheels and 5-inch front swivel casters let you roll it across a concrete floor without fighting it. The front casters and rear wheels both lock, so once it's in position during a transfer, it stays put.

Does this ship free, and how will it be delivered?

Yes, this item ships free to the contiguous lower 48 states. Due to the weight and size (24" W x 30" L x 41" H, 165 lbs. empty), it ships as a freight item. If you need a delivery appointment, residential delivery, or liftgate service, contact us at (855) 498-2147 before placing your order so we can set up the right delivery configuration and confirm any accessorial charges.

What certifications does the JohnDow PRO 30 carry?

The JohnDow PRO 30 is UL Listed and complies with OSHA guidelines for gasoline and diesel handling. It's been tested for leakage, rupture, stability, abuse, and endurance. These certifications matter if your shop is subject to fire code inspections or requires documented compliance for fuel storage equipment.

What is the warranty on this caddy?

JohnDow covers defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of purchase. Defective units may be returned freight prepaid for repair, replacement, or credit at JohnDow's discretion. The warranty does not cover normal wear, misuse, accident, faulty installation, or tampering. Refer to included documentation for registration requirements.
