Does the gas can you are filling your tank with have to be above to opening to the tank you are filling?

The gas can does not have to be above the tank that you are filling. I have a 5 gal can on the floor and use the Terapump to fill a Scooter and a moped.

Yes, you can fill from the top. Personally I use a small kitchen funnel, but if you have a steady hand no funnel is required.

No, you must remove the tank from base and fill from the bottom ( not that difficult )

Yes. On mine we just placed insert into the open area and secured then installed the gas lines. The opening for the gas line was located on the right side of the box on the one I got.

No, but you can put a riser on the gas block. Yankee Hill makes a riser for that specific purpose.

Mine did not. My advice is to use a small spouted funnel to fill the bottles because a gas station pump spout or a jerry can spout is to thick and obstructs your view from seeing how full the bottle is getting.

Yes you can. There is a cap on the top and a pump nozzle sits in there very well. You can also watch the gas gauge rise so you'll know when to stop. Works fantastic

That is how I fill mine, however I have been told that some of the stations will make you unload it from your pickup to put gas in, I haven't had that problem yet, one thing to note tho, if it is very full and you tip it to move it around gas will come out of the fuel gauge tube, I plan on taking the fuel gauge off and plugging the tube while moving it.Hope this helps, it is a great product other than the gauge but even that is no big deal.

I would take a tape measure and stick it throught the gas opening to confirm how deep the tank is before I purchase any or if you have the old gauge measure it.

The fill opening is 1 1/2 and the vent is 5/8 the picture is fairly close to the actual unit. The fill is the closest fitting on the left. The vent is the farthest on the left. The fuel sending unit is in the middle on the tank I received.

You could, but then the lid would not fit flush with the tank and part of it would always be open.

If you left the gas cartridge engaged (lever down) I wouldn't be surprised. I've found that the piece that actually forces the gas canister forward can bend causing the tank to not fully engage.

i am not a expert on this matter but the discharge comes out of the top vent and unless you adapt a vent pipe to connect to the front i would not take the chance.I err on the side of caution myself and leave the venting to the experts so i can sleep well at nights and not worry.I just follow the directions because it is gas and dont want to take a chance.I will say that i am very happy with the product and have no regrets with my choice.I am already saving money,got rid of my ugly outdoor tank and to be honest its pretty cool. I hope this helps.

Yes, the part that angles downward from the top comes off to fill it. It's like a grill/grid covering. It's very easy to fill-main reason I bought it. It works great.

I that happened to me.. basically you over filled it and the pressure pushed the top tank up.... fill up to the top of filter, or just below. It's good to go

I usually fill up before I get to the end. But the opening is wide enough at the top that you can just use your finger to get any product on the bottom out.

Just like any gas can, you should not fill it all the way to the top if you plan to store it in a place where the temp changes frequently. I noticed an odor with mine when I first got them because I had done this. Some of the fuel had permeated the seals and there was a strong odor coming from the cans. I corrected this issue by leaving some room at the top of the can for expansion due to changes in temperature. Also, be careful if the cans are completely full and you open them! Gas will spew out once the seal is broken on the full can if the temperature is higher than when you filled the can! Also, if you fill the can when it is very warm outside and put them away for storage in a cool place, the can will contract a little but return to original shape and volume once the pressure equalizes with the outside temperature.
