Does any one have a good lead on a drill attachment for a float pump?
I'd like to find a motorized version of this plastic work horse that is
wearing me out. It is only a problem if I leave the plane in the lake
for a few days - but it sure would be nice to have a faster easier
system

I just ran into a light weight portable item that might be
suitable as a
float pump. I bought a battery powered kerosene pump for $10.
It's long and
skinny, designed to fit through the opening of a 5 gal can of
kerosene and
reach the bottom. Not terribly fast, probably a couple of gallons
a minute.
I can take a pic if anyones interested.

Sorry, not for gasoline... big warning on the package. Have you looked at

12v faucett pump?

Now there's an idea Mike.....put a facet pump in each float... with an
intake hose curled up inside..a line up the front mounting strut...in thru
the cabin and tee'd into the fuel line with a check valve. Set gas cans on
float, stick intake hose in and pump away! Might need to hand prop when
you're done though...since the battery will be dead by then. Also remember
there's probably air in the gascolator now!

Cheers,
Wayne
