The igloo sure water storage tank gives the top-tier tank a run for their money by offering flagship specs at a much more affordable price. Whether this container can store gasoline or not, blue containers are meant for storing Kerosene. It has a little plastic stopper that won't last and also prevents you from storing them on their side. It is ideal for safely transporting and storing water, rugged, heavy wall construction for durability, has flexible spout, and molded handle,. The spigot fits in the drilled holes then is clamped on with the provided hardware. The flat rectangular shape makes them easy to store.
There is a plunger type stopper that allows air into the container as it empties, so there is no "gulping", but it tends to push back into the container as pressure outside the container becomes higher than inside the container, and that slows emptying. The spout is rigid and very flimsy. It is great as a backup source at camp or out in dry country.

Augason Farms has been making great tank for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. It is ideal for large water treatment needs (up to 60 gallons), but packaged small enough to fit into your pocket. It includes two fittings (one, two-inch btr and one, two-inch nps), an easy-to-use hand siphon pump, and a six-foot siphon hose. It can seal and hold the water tight. It has prongs on one side that fit into the holes in the white plastic screw-in caps on the top of the blue barrel.
The barrel is fine, the pump is adequate. It takes about a gallon of water poured directly into the stool of the toilet to cause it to flush. The pump is very cheaply made as well, but the barrel and tool are great.
