“We’ve received a lot of requests from our customers for a larger, portable gasoline tank to our fuel product line, so we are very excited to introduce these new Carrytanks,” said Robert Christy, president of JohnDow Industries in a recent news release. “The new low-profile gas Carrytank, along with the DEF Carrytank and diesel Carrytank, perfectly complement our line of fuel storage and transfer equipment, and I'm confident our customers will be excited about these new options."

These smaller tanks are half the size of their existing 106-gallon and 58-gallon Carrytanks.

"By introducing these low-profile options for diesel, gasoline, and especially the highly-requested DEF, we’re able to provide our customers with a wider range of solutions tailored to their specific operational needs," Brian Morgan, national sales manager for JohnDow service equipment.

Key features of the Carrytanks include:

  • Rugged construction: Crafted from high-quality linear polyethylene, ensuring longevity and resilience.

  • Easily monitor fuel levels: Fuel level gauge indicates the amount of fuel available in the tank.

  • Efficient 12-Volt transfer pump: Capable of delivering fuel at a rate of 10 gallons per minute.

  • Automatic dispensing nozzle: Equipped with a removable drip tray for clean and hassle-free refueling.

  • Enhanced portability: Forklift pockets and molded handles make moving the tank easy

  • Secure transportation: Built-in recesses allows for safely securing tanks with ratchet straps during transport.

  • Lockable cover: Offers added protection and security for fuel contents.

  • Gasoline model baffle: Internal baffle designed to prevent sloshing during transportation.
