Filters for fuel transfer

[dknarnd]

Haven't started...I'm at a bit of a handicap because my "real" property is 4 hours away from where I live. Still thinking about it, although it is less money I am not sold on the 12v pump either. The way I look at it if I have to run power for a charger / converter then I may as well just plug the pump in. Portability isn't really a big deal because I can't see having a large quantity of fuel anywhere that is not near power, and if it really does happen I can bring my generator to run the pump.

Also I believe the 115v pump is a little more robust and they sell repair kits for it but I did not see any listed for the 12v pump.

*****************
1*If you feel better with the 115 V pump I'd go with it then.
2*True but I don't have a Gen.
I can however unclip the pump wires from my set up and clip them on the tractor battery post in case of a power outage.
I used the battery charger because I already had it setting around and it saves me from having to connect the pump wires to the tractor battery every time I need fuel.
.............................
I used 1/2'' hose on the outlet side of the pump and 5/8" hose on the inlet side of the pump. Works great.
Should have use 1/2'' for both.
I didn't want to go with the bulkier more cumbersome 3/4 and 1 inch hose.
The 1/2'' hose works fine and is easier to handle and store.

Your main problem will still be getting through the top of the drum with the outlet hose since nobody makes a fitting that will do that.
