FAQ
Can I use this Tuff Jug for water?
Yes. Tuff Jug lists water first among the liquids the jug works with, along with oils, coolants and cleaning solutions. Tuff Jug does not state that the jug is food-grade or rated for drinking water, so confirm with Tuff Jug before storing potable water.
Does the blue color mean this jug is only for water?
No. Tuff Jug lists the same compatible liquids for every jug color and does not publish a color code for its utility jugs. If you run several jugs, color is an easy way to keep your own liquids sorted, so label each jug for your system.
Can I use this jug for gasoline, race fuel or kerosene?
No. Tuff Jug classifies this jug as a utility container, not a certified portable fuel container under ARB, DOT or EPA, and states it must not be used for fuel or kerosene. Use a certified portable fuel container for fuel.
How fast does the Blue Ripper Cap pour?
Tuff Jug rates the Ripper Cap at about 42 seconds to empty a 5 gallon jug. For proper flow, the vent line must be installed in both the cap and the jug handle, and the receiving opening must be clear.
What size opening does the Ripper Cap need?
Tuff Jug designs the Ripper Cap for top-load openings where the jug can stay upright while pouring. It will not work with side-load openings or inlets smaller than 1.42" in diameter, and Tuff Jug recommends an opening of 1.5" or larger. Adapters for smaller or shallow openings are sold separately.
Ripper Cap or Auto-Stop Spout: which should I choose?
The Ripper Cap is built for maximum flow. Tuff Jug's Auto-Stop Spout is the spill-proof option that shuts off flow when the container is full, and it is sold separately. If you need hands-off, no-overflow transfers, look at the Auto-Stop versions of the Tuff Jug.
