The discussion about removing motor oil made think of this.
What's the best way to pump a large quantity of fuel (gas / oil mix) out of a built in tank. The tanks are about 25 gallons each and I want to pump them completely dry into 5 gallon cans. I have a siphon and know how to use it, but it is difficult to impossible for this. In the past, I've used a cheap, little plunger-type hand pump with a tube going down into the tank and another tube going to the 5 gallon tank. This worked OK - but not really well. The pump was pretty small and therefore took way too many pumps per gallon, and the handle was just a little knob and therefore difficult and tiring to use. So, I'm looking for a better solution for moving 25 gallons of gas from a built in tank to 5 gallon cans if anyone has any ideas. An electric solution or a larger capacity hand pump with a good size handle would be OK. If I were to rig up an electric fuel pump, exactly how would I do that? And, what is a typical pumping rate for this? Many thanks in advance. Cam |
