Transfer pump

[Code54]

Does anyone use a Dewalt or Milwaukee transfer pump to fuel their machines? How does it work?





I have a 100-gallon tank that won’t accept a regular threaded pump, and I was wondering if this might be a solution.

Just change the plumbing.

Both the Milwaukee and DeWalt transfer pumps are not rated for diesel or gasoline.

The tank pipe used for mounting the hand style pump was pretty badly damaged and would need cut apart and reweld. I was just thinking a battery powered optioin would be handy for field use. I notcied a lot of peole mention using the Harbor freight ones for Diesel even thought it is not rated for diesel and that had me thinking it would be an easy solution and not threaded pipe would be needed.

I use a similar 12V pump and power it with my DeWalt 20V cordless tool batteries and this adapter:

If the pump you use won't tolerate the higher 20V voltage, you can use this 20V to 12V converter:

Thank you. I will check into that.

I am also thinking Harbor Freight had one, so I will also check into that. I am thinking a powered pump will be much better than the crank style for fueling eqpt. since I need to stand on the machines.
