Choosing a spill kit size for your truck or garage
3 min read · ADR Gear
A spill kit only helps if it fits where you keep it. A bag that is too big gets left at home, and one that is too small runs out of pads.
Here is a simple way to choose.
Measure the spot first
Decide where the bag will live: behind a seat, under a bench or on a garage hook.
Measure that spot, then compare it to the bag sizes. You can see the Neoprene Drain Cover Mat for the details.
Our two sizes
The Oil and Fuel Spill Kit Bag comes in small, about 12 x 8 in, and medium, about 16 x 10 in.
Both are zip bags of absorbent pads.
Small suits cars and pickups
A small bag tucks behind a seat or into a door pocket in many vehicles.
It suits a quick clean up of a small drip.
Medium suits cabs and garages
A medium bag holds more and suits a truck cab, a trailer box or a garage shelf. The bag is bigger, so check the space.
Our kit guide runs through the same steps in one minute. All sales are final, so check the size before you order.
What is in the bag
Each bag holds about 15 pads, 2 disposal bags and gloves, according to the product page. The kit costs $49, and shipping is free on orders of $75 or more. Below that, shipping is a flat $6.95.
Questions and answers
Can I keep a bag in the trunk?
Many people do. Check that it sits flat and the zip stays closed.
How many pads are in each size?
Our page says about 15 pads, which is approximate. Check the product page for the latest.
