Pumping diesel fuel

   / Pumping diesel fuel #23  
I use a 5 gal yellow can w/ wide mouth funnel as stated earlier. Works fine for my JD4700. I may buy another can if I work (play?) with it for 8+ hr/day. I keep the can in the back of the pickup, straped in and fill it every time I'm going out to the tractor.

<font color=blue>..Are you highlighting my spelling mistakes?</font color=blue>

Huh? I just looked and looked, and I didn't see any spelling mistakes. Honest! I guess I don't notice stuff like that. What did you mis-spell? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

<font color=blue>...BT, not real sure where you got your pump, but all companies that handles pumps around here (farm stores, co-op's and parts stores) carry the hose unit to mount onto the pump.</font color=blue>

Duh! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif I didn't even think of that! Thanks... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Well, this ain't the literacy forum.. and you sure know tractors! I'm not very literate either. I wonder if Muhammad is getting ready to give both of us the boot... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Cool! Amazing what you can find on the Internet, isn't it? Thanks Egon.

By the way BOB, checked the site for your pump yesterday, and they didn't have any hose of the right type.

Cowboydoc,
Your sure right about rubber garden hose, but vinyl hose works just fine. It's a lot easier to find then SAE J1527 type A-2 (high nitrile), and a whole lot cheaper.

Edit: I should have qualified rubber and vinyl.
Natural rubber and diesel hate each other, rapid deteriation. Neoprene rubber and diesel get along pretty, good minor discoloration. Vinyl (PVC) is excellent with diesel.
