The Tuff Jug 2.5 gal utility jug in orange comes with a Black Ripper Cap, a compact, high-visibility container for riders and crews who need a smaller jug that still pours fast. Tuff Jug states the jug works with water, oils, coolants, cleaning solutions and other liquids. At 18 x 8 x 8 inches and 1.8 lbs empty, it fits where a 5 gallon jug will not.
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. Choose this jug for water and non-fuel liquids, and keep fuel in a certified portable fuel container.

Fitment
This Tuff Jug 2.5 gallon utility jug is a universal container with no vehicle-specific fitment. It works with any machine, trailer or shop setup that has room for a 2.5 gallon jug. The Ripper Cap needs a top-load opening of 1.42" or larger (1.5" or larger recommended) where the jug can stay upright, so check your opening before you buy. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications Tuff Jug does not list.
FAQ
What liquids can I put in this Tuff Jug?
Tuff Jug states the jug works with water, oils, coolants, cleaning solutions and other liquids. Tuff Jug lists the same compatible liquids for every jug color, so the orange color is a way to keep your own liquids sorted rather than a rating.
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 Black Ripper Cap pour?
Tuff Jug calls the Ripper Cap its maximum-flow option, the fastest possible pour when speed matters most. 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.
Will current Ripper Cap parts fit older Tuff Jugs?
Tuff Jug states current Ripper Cap accessories are only compatible with current-model Tuff Jugs and will not fit previous jug generations. Verify your jug model before ordering replacement caps or seals.
