Float pumps

Post by Mike Davis » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:06 am

I guess the flow rate is pretty low if you're trying to move a lot of
fuel... here is a page that has one rated at 40 gph.

http://www.gowerlee.dircon.co.uk/Facetpump.html

Something like this drill powered pump might be better for filling your fuel
tank... 225 gph.

No, but it's a thought. The ones I know are about 30 gph which would take
about 15 minutes per gas can, so probably not fast enough for what I would
want. I think my hand pump is faster than that. I have not looked for an
electric one yet, but maybe there are some, at a reasonable cost that
would work.

Sorry, not for gasoline... big warning on the package. Have you
looked at a
12v faucett pump?

That's a great pump for water or diesel fuel, but there aint no way I'd
think about pumping gas with one. I have two of them one for diesel and one for
water. I've burnt up three $16 through away electric drill motors with them,
and they just keep pumping. I've never used a cordless drill on one to see what
the battery life would be. Supose I could just to see.

Float pumps

Post by bosdes » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:06 am

Northerntool.com has a number of manual and 12V gasoline transfer pumps. I use a Fillrite pump to refuel the Champ from a transfer tank on the pickup truck, bought it used and have had no trouble with it. Ted 577E
