It's actually spelled "nitpick".

Ironic, ain't it? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

<font color=blue>smart alec!</font color=blue>

No offense intended to anybody.

BTW - it's "smart-aleck", and the hyphen is optional. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

If it's a really "small thing" that you're picking, like a gnat,... how come it's not a "gnit"?! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Please refer to my post elsewhere (off topic and just for fun, I think) regarding "English is hard".

Sometimes I spell fish ghoti just for fun ('gh' as in enough, 'o' as in women, 'ti' as in nation). /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

You can't hardly do nothing wrong 'cause it's so hard to do right.

I've been using a galvanized tank for nearly 2 years. I'll pick up one of those yellow plastic cans as quick as I can.

Rob, Thanks for the advice. You might have saved me lots of problems. Today, I replaced the hose with very thick, fabric-reinforced clear vinyl tubing. Not worth taking chances to save what amounted to only $7. FYI, the fuel tranfer hose in (3/4" ID) runs $3.50/ft. at Napa Auto Supply. I'm sure the vinyl will work just as well for occasional use.

Rob, Thanks for the great info. I guess I'm like alot of people and could read up on different subjects and consult owners manuals etc, but I find this board so much more fun!!!!!!
You have probably saved several of us from causing damage to our toys, I mean machines.

You can also go to NAPA and they have fuel line hose in the big rolls. Just tell them what length and size you want and they clip it off for you.

Dont you just suck hard on the end of a garden hose?

Here's a link to a post I made yesterday in another forum on making a 30 gal (or pick another size if you wish) pump/storage system along the same lines as yours. Pictures are included as well.

Have fun,

Peter

That el-cheapo one looks just like the one I bought from Harbor Freight over 10 years ago for $15 - it's still working.
Diesel will eventually dissolve a rubber hose - so says a bad experience at work with our emer power generator.(oops)

I bought one from Harbor Freight last year for less than $10.00, don't know how well it will work, as we sold the tractor and moved here to Illinois before I had a chance to use it! Still in the box, waiting for another tractor!
