Ebay has a number of gasoline nozzles for sale:

Here is a place you can buy gas nozzles: http://www.gemplers.com/a/shop/produ...36&src=21YA001 "tony thomas" wrote in message news:JGege.70681$NU4.51046@attbi_s22... Your right. You could just use a hose and let it siphon down the hill. 170' of hose is going to hold a lot of fuel. You better shut it off before it gets full. I would not recommend any kind of large external fuel tank though. If you had a wreck - insurance/liability may be a big problem as the tank is probably not DOT approved. -- Tony my boats and cars at http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com - "Gary" wrote in message om... Since it's all down hill, why not take advantage of that. You could buy a tank to put into your jeep that drains from the bottom and attach a hose long enough to reach the boat (one that's approved for gas of course) and put some type of valve on it so that you can turn it on and off and use gravity to pump the fuel down to your boat. "Arden" wrote in message ps.com... I'm looking for some advice on a quick, convenient, safe, and legal way to get gasoline into my ski boat. I live on the lake and keep my boat at my dock. From the driveway to the boat is about 170 feet, all downhill. I know that I could probably buy a gas caddy (i.e. Gas Pal, Gas Walker, etc.), but the terrain is kind of rugged and I think it might not be that easy getting the caddy down the hill safely; esp. considering how heavy it would be when full. Heck, it's hard enough to walk up the hill without the caddy. I prefer not to pull the boat out and tow it to the station; that's what I've been doing, but am looking for a way to save time). Also, I don't think I could install any kind of large fuel tank here due to homeowners association restrictions. I should also mention that the boat has a 25 gallon built-in tank. Since I drive my Jeep by the gas station regularly anyway, it sure would be nice if I could find a safe way to pump or siphon fuel from it into the boat. Suggestions? Thank-you!! |
