Oil & Fuel EZ Way to Refuel?

[jonyyuma]

I am using a 12 volt inline fuel pump, its about 5 gal a minute. plus 2 pieces of 3/8 fuel line. Alligator clips to the battery connection. Beats pouring and sloshing fuel from 5 gal can. but I am looking for something better if i see it. JY.

I have seen some really slick ways to refuel on this forum but I am looking for the easiest and cheapest to be able to leave the can on the floorboard of the tractor. Somehow I manage to spill more using those stupid EPA "No Spill" spouts and they restrict flow - I can pee faster then the deisel comes out.:laughing:

Any takers?

Thanks!!!

I get my son to refuel it and he does a pretty good job

I replaced the "no spill" spout with a real spout.:thumbsup:

I bought one of those cans with the button you push then you squeeze a lever.. it stinks.

The only cans I have ever had a good spout on was the old metal cans with the articulated metal spouts.

At least the lever spouts dont leak at all the joints like the ones that slide back when inserted in the tank opening. I actually link the way the lever type work in allowing me to get the spount into the tank opening without pouring fuels everywhere. I just wish there was a lever lock on them to keep them open when pouring. The idea of cutting out the plastic spring to let them stay open defeats the purpose of the spout and mean I may forget to or be unable to close it down when finished pouring.

Not bad actually, July 20, 2009 By Sethfdabomb from carver, ma(read all my reviews)

Additional information about Sethfdabomb could not be loaded. "This product doesn't seem to get really good reviews. From my standpoint, what you pay for this makes it worth it. Its not really expensive and seems to pump really well. When I fill up with diesel (what i use it for) It plugs right into the 12v outlet in my trunk. So its very convenient and it does what I need it too. What I use it for is to transfer BIO diesel to my jetta from a tank I have in my garage. Having this little 12v pump ensures I never need to plug in. Its great for what it is. After all im trying to save money with Bio, not spend a lot on getting it into my car."

Just because one of the reviewers said he uses it to pump fuel does not somehow magically change it from a water pump to a fuel pump. There are a lot of people in the world who do not think very clearly. These are not the people whom you want to copy.
