What makes this fuel tank EPA- and CARB-compliant?

The 8806LP2 conforms to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements and California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards for portable marine fuel tanks. That means it has design and emissions control features intended to reduce evaporative losses and meet state and federal regulations.

• Certified to EPA evaporative emissions criteria for portable marine tanks
• Meets CARB standards required in California and other states that follow CARB rules
• Designed to comply with ABYC and NMMA portable tank guidelines
• Labels and construction tailored for regulatory inspections and use on recreational vessels

How does the built-in vacuum valve simplify refueling?

The cap includes an integrated vacuum valve so you don’t have to open a separate vent when fueling. This feature minimizes fuel spillage and simplifies transfer to the outboard, making single-person refueling easier and cleaner.

• One-piece cap with vacuum valve for controlled air flow
• Reduces need for manual venting during fuel transfer
• Helps prevent fuel overflow and reduces vapors escaping

Is the tank durable and safe for marine use?

The tank is engineered for the marine environment with materials and construction meant to resist corrosion and withstand routine handling. It is produced to fulfill the ABYC and NMMA requirements that govern portable marine fuel systems, supporting safe operation on board.

• Sturdy polyethylene construction suitable for marine conditions
• Designed to meet ABYC/NMMA portable tank safety specifications
• Clearly marked labeling for fuel type and capacity

What size and situations is a 6-gallon tank best for?

A 6-gallon capacity is a practical balance between range and portability for small- to medium-sized outboards and tender boats. It provides enough fuel for extended runs while remaining compact enough to carry and stow aboard when not in use.

• Suitable for trolling motors, small outboards, and tenders
• Easier to move and store than larger tanks while providing useful range
• Bright red color improves visibility and quick identification on deck
