Thanks for the additional pics.
You mentioned using 1/2" ID hoses, the one's on the input side of the pump look larger than the one on the output side of the filter.
Perhaps its just because they are closer to the camera?
You are right They are 5/8 inch .
I had to buy hose 2 different times because I didn't get enough the first time.
I didn't notice I got the 5/8 by mistake the second time until I started putting it all together so i went ahead and used the 5/8 instead of having to run back to town for the 1/2.
Either one will work but if i ever have to replace the hose i would switch the 5/8 hose and go with the 1/2 .
If i were to build another rig I would use all 1/2 like i intended to do in the first place.
*Another thing i'd like to point out is the white fitting on the end of the curled hose hose hanging on the wall .
It is a filter to keep dirt and other crud out of the pump and fuel.
It is a foot valve purchased at Lowes that I motified into a filtering screen.
I first tried putting a piece of screen over the hose and clamping it on with a hose clamp however this didn't work when i tried pumping fuel from a 5 gallon can because the hose clamp was to big to fit into tne can opening.
Thus the white fitting that drops right into a fuel can.
What about static electricity? Are any of you worried about that or have something setup to neutralize it? I would be worried about that especially with the plastic drums. But would like your opinion because I need a tank too and have been struggling with worrying about static, and also moving the tank full.
I like the idea of the square tank TSC has and strapping it to a pallet for transport.
Static electricity is only a priblem with gasoline .
There is little or no issue with diesel.
Build a system like mine and forget about moving containers of fuel.
I wouldn't trade my rig for 3 of the TSC tanks.
