    This is not your daddy's gas caddy. This is a whole new animal and a first of its kind... The Smart Ass Fuel Mule is A 50 Gallon, off road, fully electric, hassle-free, built like-a-tank gas caddy specifically designed to save you from the back breaking labor of dealing with leaking gas cans and those outrageous airport and marina prices. Fill up with 1 trip instead of 10 lugging fuel jugs, fill your fuel tank in 3 minutes as opposed to 30, and forget that price gouging $2-$4 markup at the airport or marina. With a $100 to $200 dollar savings possible every time you use your Fuel Mule, the decision is clear. Be the Smart Ass everyone knows you to be and get yourself a Smart Ass Fuel Mule!

    All good info. I just saved that file and this page for future reference when we get to that point. We're getting requests from Canada and around the Carribean/Central America so far, but no Australia yet. Thanks for that! I've got some good friends from Australia, Canberra area, that were just here visiting in the states. They just left Tuesday to head back home. On another note, we setup a new dealer in South Carolina today with their first 5 units! It's fun to be building something new after 19 years of doing the same thing. Race car stuff was a fun business, but I've always like making the baby more than I liked changing the diapers, ya know? 😉

    Some very good information here regarding Australia. I'm curious, is this primarily an Australian forum? It may be a little while before we're shipping anything that far, and we may have to adpat the product for regulations there if/when that time comes. We're just getting started, and we have shipped outside the US (once), but haven't shipped to Australia yet. Though we do intend to take advantage of the treaty with the US regarding international patents, extending our patent to Australia and other countries. Here in the US we have different regulations and requirements, and a significant amount of our efforts bringing this to market were to ensure we stayed inside those lines, including consulting with Intertek, a National Research Testing Laboratory (NRTL). Here in the US the placarding requirement is a function of HAZMAT regulations, and only come into effect above 119 gallons, where a HAZMAT registration by the end user, and placarding for hazardous materials, comes into play. Thanks for the info!!!

    Thanks @FlyBoy1960! We certainly didn't do it halfway, I don't get accused of that often ;). This thing will go places most wouldn't need it to, but I only build things one way.... overbuilt. Here are two world champion (one 4x former, and one current) wakesurfers putting one to use down in Florida: If anyone is interested, there's a blog series on it from concept to concept to refinement. I'll be writing another entry at some point on bringing it to final product, but the series as it is goes most of the way there. https://smartassproducts.net/blogs/main/creating-the-worlds-best-gas-caddy-p1 https://smartassproducts.net/blogs/main/creating-the-worlds-best-gas-caddy-p2 https://smartassproducts.net/blogs/main/creating-the-worlds-best-gas-caddy-p3 We're shipping them all over the country fairly regularly, 5 going up to South Carolina tomorrow actually. And we're looking for dealers as well (that's what we're bringing these up to tomorrow, a new dealer that runs a boat dock business)

    More information about "50 Gallon Motorized Gas Caddy -- The Smart Ass Fuel Mule"
    I've been an entrepreneur and inventor for over 20 years, specializing in manufacturing, particularly in race car parts. Most of that time, I focused on standalone ECUs, like MegaSquirt EFI, as the founder and owner of DIYAutoTune. I sold that business a year ago, and since then, I've been working on an exciting new project. The Smart Ass Fuel Mule, a motorized gas caddy. It's essentially a gas caddy equipped with a powerful electric drive motor and a 15 GPM electric fuel pump that takes care of all the heavy lifting. The Fuel Mule is compatible with AVGAS 100LL, JET A, Gasoline, Diesel, and Kerosene. Both the motor and pump are battery-operated, rechargeable (charger included and easy to plug into any wall outlet), and built to perform. You can safely load and unload it from a truck using ramps, with the motor and brakes handling all the work. Originally, I designed this for the boating market, particularly for fueling my private boat at my dock. Here's a Fuel Mule in action, filling up my Supra SA400 wake boat at my dock. I started showcasing the Smart Ass Fuel Mule at boat shows, and to my surprise, I kept getting approached by pilots and aircraft mechanics who were interested. We've recently sold a few units to pilots, and just last week, I delivered one to an airpark community in Florida. That place blew me away—such a cool environment! The Fuel Mule offers 50 gallons of fuel transport and storage and can easily be loaded in and out of a truck, whether it’s full or empty, thanks to its motor and brakes. It’s incredibly easy to control, and hands down, it's the best gas caddy ever made. Equipped with an antistatic hose and UL-listed components, the system is grounded internally back to its onboard battery, just like your truck or airplane. Made in the USA, the Fuel Mule also comes with optional upgrades like a bonding reel and filtration/water separator. And to answer the number one question we get: Yes, it’s simple to load and unload from a truck. Let me show you how easy it is: (I start right at the demo here, you can back up and watch the whole video if you want to see me fill the tank with your own eyes, and hear me talk about how I got this idea and brought it to life, and some of it's features) You can read more about the product here: https://smartassproducts.net/products/smart-ass-fuel-mule I think you'll agree it's the best gas caddy out there! Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help! Thanks all!
