Loading the Fuel Mule in the truck is EASY!

Loading the Fuel Mule in the truck is EASY!

For some people, the idea of loading a heavy tank of gasoline in and out of a truck might be intimidating.  Read on and we'll put your mind at ease.  It's easy, and it's safe.  

As in, so easy and safe that you'd think it was designed specifically to be easy, and safe.  IT WAS!  The innovative Smart Ass Fuel Mule makes those worries a thing of the past. This amazing motorized gas caddy was very intentionally through through, designed, tested and refined to make a challenging task so easy a child could do it.  But since a child isn't supposed to transport or pump gasoline, I had my 19 year old daughter show you how it's done below. 

As you'll see, this revolutionary 50 gallon gas caddy lets you move fuel safely and effortlessly—using ramps to load and unload it in and out of a truck for filling and transport, and letting the motor and brakes do all the hard work -- making it easy for darn near anyone to operate.

 

The Smart Ass Fuel Mule Gas Caddy in Action

In this video demonstration, my 19-year-old daughter Camille confidently loads and unloads the fully filled Smart Ass Fuel Mule, filled with 50 gallons of gasoline, using cheap ramps sourced from Harbor Freight. It’s a visual testament to how easy this product is to operate—showing that 'full grown man' levels of strength and extensive experience with equipment aren’t prerequisites for safe and effective fuel transportation of 50 GALLONS OF GASOLINE if you're using the Smart Ass Fuel Mule.  BTW - This is Camille's 4th or 5th attempt EVER loading and unloading a Smart Ass Fuel Mule Gas Caddy in/out of a truck on ramps.  No kidding. 


The intuitive controls for the motor and brake system of the Smart Ass Fuel Mule work together to control the weight, ensuring a smooth transfer up or down the ramps without requiring significant physical effort. For anyone worried about losing control of a heavy fuel tank, this video demonstrates how this motorized gas caddy does ALL of the heavy lifting, making it safe for users of all skill levels.  So long as you've got a little sense, you've got this!!! 

 

There is No Reason To Be Intimidated

If a teenager can handle the Fuel Mule with ease, grown men most any other able bodied adult can feel confident about their ability to do the same. The key lies in the thoughtful engineering and design behind the product:

  1. Powerful Motorized Drivetrain: The built-in motor takes over the heavy lifting, propelling the unit up the ramps.
  2. Braking System: The brakes ensure smooth descents, preventing runaway movement or loss of control.
  3. Intuitive Controls: The thumb throttle, push-button reversible motor controls, and simple handbrake that's just like every bicycle, ATV, or motorbike out there, just flat out fall into your hands and make sense.  The controls couldn't be simpler.  It even has a parking brake!
  4. User-Friendly Design: Even when the tank is fully loaded and heavy, the thoughtful design and engineering behind the Smart Ass Fuel Mule makes it manageable, requiring no physical effort from the user.  Just guidance.  

 

"There's no way it can move that heavy load that easily!!!"

Every now and then someone says that to us online.  Someone that has never seen the product in person, never laid hands on it, and never seen first hand just how well thought out and engineered it really is.  

Here's what you've got to understand.  This mack-daddy gas caddy was designed specifically to make this seemingly difficult task EASY.  If it wouldn't do that... We would have failed. We did not fail.  We knocked it out of the park!

From the ground up, the whole point was to make it easy to load, unload, and easy to safely maneuver over moderately challenging off road terrain, and then, to safely navigate tight spaces and turns on your dock's gangway and right out onto your dock, right up next to your boat.  It was designed for every piece of this task, right from the get go.  Even dimension, every design decision, and even part chosen was carefully selected for the task at hand.  It had to make it easy or it wouldn't have made sense to build it.  And it does make it easy.  Very easy.  

The Fuel Mule transforms what was once a daunting task into something straightforward and stress-free, enabling you to focus on getting back to the fun stuff without worrying about wearing yourself out and straining your back or spilling any fuel.  And you're going to LOVE the time and money you save, and the insane new convenience level you'll operated at, with 50 gallons sitting on ready you'll be filled up and back on the water in as little as 5 minutes!

 

The Vision Behind the Fuel Mule

For a deeper dive into the genius of this product (hey, that's what our customers keep calling it, their words not mine!), check out this live demonstration featuring me, the inventor and creator/founder of Smart Ass Products, LLC. In the video, I fill the Smart Ass Fuel Mule with nearly 51 gallons of gasoline and showcase its loading and unloading capabilities multiple times—doing most of it with just one hand!  (don't try this at home kids, trained professional on a closed course and all that!)

[You can skip to the 8min mark if you don't want to watch me talk about the product and just want to see me one-hand it in and out of the truck a couple times]

It's just that easy. I'm telling you, you can have complete confidence in your ability to use this to make your life easier.  This product was created with careful thought and engineering, and then overbuilt for maximum durability.  All of this with real-world users in mind. The Fuel Mule is intuitive and easy to control, doing the hard part for you, and making it accessible to everyone, regardless of physical strength or experience.

 

The Benefits of the Smart Ass Fuel Mule

The Smart Ass Fuel Mule offers numerous advantages for fuel transporters:

  • Safety: No more risking injury by manually lifting or dragging heavy fuel tanks. The Fuel Mule’s motor and brake systems do the hard work for you, and they're incredibly simple and intuitive to control.
  • Efficiency: Transporting 50 gallons of fuel at once saves time and reduces the need for multiple trips.
  • Reliability: Built to last you YEARS, the Fuel Mule is a dependable companion for anyone who frequently moves large quantities of fuel.  
  • Accessibility: Designed for users of all skill levels, it eliminates the intimidation factor you would expect of a lesser 'half-fast' solution.  We don't do anything half-fast, we only do things Smart Assed.  
  • Rechargeable: With the included charger you can just plug the Fuel Mule in when not in use and it will always be ready.  Typical usage between charges is 6-8 full fuel trips (loading in the truck to go get fuel, unloading back at the house/jobsite, driving a couple hundred feet to and out onto the dock, switching over to 'pump' mode and filling the boat or other equipment with fuel, then driving back up to the house for storage).
