ABSTRACT:
A twenty five gallon fuel container has wheels and a handle to facilitate its transporation over a support surface. A trailing tangential point on the wheels is in vertical alignment with a trailing edge of the handle so that when the container is laid down on its back, its front and back walls are parallel to the ground. A vented fill spout is mounted at a forty five degree angle relative to both the front wall and a top wall of the container so that the fill spout is disposed forty five degrees relative to the ground when the container is upright and when the container is in its reclining position. Thus, fuel cannot spill when the container is in either position. Indentations formed in the container strengthen it and provide a place to position hold down straps when the container is strapped in position aboard a vehicle.
