I've been looking for a reputable petrol feed pump for months. Here is my scenario. I ride my Harley to work every day and fill up with Super 91 gas at a gas station about every 4 days. We live in Arizona and we have Fry's grocery stores that offer bonus points for fuel. I never intended to use these accolades to fuel a 5-6 gallon motorcycle and eventually decided to do something about it. I bought (2) 15 gallon fuel cans (which actually hold about 18 gallons each) so I can hit the 35 gallon cap when using fuel bonus points. The $35 savings on each refill offsets the cost of gas canisters for 6 months, so I pulled the trigger. I'm a tall man and I have no problem lifting full tanks of gas into a car when they are full, but I will certainly not attempt to use these full tanks to fill up a motorcycle. I have found several 120VAC and 12VDC gas transfer pumps that have a shaft pumping system and a standard gas pump nozzle on the end. In fact, they work exactly as we would like, but with a serious problem. They don't make the waves long enough to reach the bottom of my gas cylinders. The 15 gallon Flo Fast gas bottles I bought are about 35 inches tall and none of the shafts actually reach the bottom of the container so I can get all of the gas. In fact, most of them are only 28 inches long, so I've got about 6 gallons (or more) of gas left that isn't available. For months I've been working on a solution to this problem by adding 10" CPAP hoses to the end of the pump shaft to increase reach to the bottom of my gas cylinders. The system works, but has some disadvantages. First off, although the CPAP hose and rubber fitting form an airtight seal at the bottom of the shaft, transfer pumps don't use real "suction" to draw in liquid, instead they have a tiny impeller at the end of the shaft. actually pushing the gas up the shaft and out of the dispenser. In order for the gas to actually escape, the end of the shaft must be immersed in the gas and the transfer process started. Once it starts, the suction continues to draw gas from the canister until I release the gas dispenser button or the gas in the canister runs out. As you can imagine, just getting a gallon or 2 of gas to start pumping was a complete headache. I would tip the gas, you can try submerging the pump in water enough to fill and pump. The thing is, when the CPAP hose starts to break, the whole system stops working because it's leaking and I have to replace the hose. The whole process wasn't perfect. As I continued to search for another solution, I found that there are only a few transfer pumps that are approved for gas service. With the obvious fire hazard, finding an approved gas lift pump at a reasonable price was not an easy task. Container. I'm very satisfied with this product. It's 12v, so it gets power from my bike's 12v cigarette lighter socket. The inlet line is about 8 feet long and extends to the bottom of my gas tank without having to tilt or move it. The balloon used to turn the pump on and off is long and allows me to control the pump while my bike gets gas. The tote bag is well made and closes tightly so the gas fumes don't stink when everything is closed. The flow rate is 1.2 gallons per minute, which is about half that of the other transfer pump I have, but that doesn't mean a minute or two will make much of a difference when I'm just using the max 6 gallon pump. Fill gas tank. Can't comment on the longevity of the pump but I'm optimistic it will last me for a while. I'm very happy so far.
