Fuel transfer pump
« on: March 03, 2026, 07:31:26 PM »
I am looking for a decent battery operated fuel transfer pump.  Used to pump from 5 gallon gas cans into boat or generator.  Ive been using the cheap harbor freight but those die after a month or two.  Seen some interesting Facebook ads for some over last few months.  Anyone have a good one?

I’ve been very impressed with this one.  Only had it a few months but it works well and I’m surprised how well the auto shut off works.  Hasn’t spilled a drop yet.

that looks like a decent one.  See if anyone else has a suggestion before I pull the trigger

Was wondering about that myself.  I doubt there's an intrinsically safe pump for $50.

Do you have any Milwaukee tools? The Milwaukee battery operated pumps are legit…garden hose adapters and they’ll empty a 55 gallon drum fast!

I used a cheap 12 volt car electric fuel pump for many years. Even the cheap ones are designed to pump fuel for hours. It survived pumping out my neighbors 300 gallon underground Kero tank for his house without stopping except to empty the 5 gal cans we were putting it in. The one I had was pretty small too.

I ordered this one.  Like the longer hose. I keep my gas cans on a shelf.  this will make it so I dont have to lift them up and place on the bow of my boat which is head height to refuel.

Hopefully it works as good for you as it does me.  Good luck!

Any of you guys have a reasonable way of storing say 50 gallons of gas other than gas cans.  Boat has a 70 gallon tank.  Long run of ocean fishing I burn 40 or so gallons.  Just looking for ideas.  Not sure outside is an option since I live in an HOA.
