Best automatic diesel shut off nozzle?
Getting ready to set up my 55 gal drum for diesel and want to get a good automatic shut off nozzle that will work. Looking for suggestions from the TBN group.
Thanks much.
Bill

Re: Best automatic diesel shut off nozzle?
Fill-Rite(Tuthill)makes good stuff.However,I don't think an automatic shutoff nozzle will work without a good transfer pump.Expect to pay $75-100 for a good diesel fuel nozzle and $300-400 For a transfer pump.Gravity feed will not work for an auto shutoff nozzle.Most likely not what you wanted to hear.Good Luck!

Re: Best automatic diesel shut off nozzle?
We have an auto shutoff nozzle on our hand cranked pump. Works well and it only cost me $10 (with a 10' length of hose) at a shop sale.

I bought a nozzle at TSC that was suppose to shut off on its own. (Can't remember the make, it has a blue rubber a sleeve and was about $50.)
I figured out it didn't work properly after it spilled about two gallons of fuel all over the side of my RTV. I took it back and received a replacement, only to discover it didn't work either. I should have went and got my money back but, for whatever stupid reason, I just deal with it.
Oh btw, I use it with a 12v Fill Rite pump.
Edit, it is a GPI nozzle.

My local bulk fuel distributor gives em away because they have too legally replace the ones at the service station every few year. He has a box full of em. I imagine your local guy does the same. They just dont have the lil hook on the back to hang on a fillrite pumps i use.

Re: Best automatic diesel shut off nozzle?
The problem you are having with your nozzle is the reason I asked my question. Do you think it's just the nozzle or like #2 said a bigger pump to make the nozzle system work?
Although Aaron said he is using a hand crank pump with his auto shut off nozzle.
Thank you all for the imput I will have to think on this project a little more.
