Howdy all,
Just had 100 gal diesel delivered for winter plowing, with old age and asthma the old hand pump isn't cutting it.
Fuel is in slip tank at ground level 10' from barn outlet, so I'm looking for some way to pump it to the skidsteer and Deere. 12V pumps are readily available, but getting 12v off the Deere and skidsteere are problematic. 110-120v pumps are out there, but a good one is upwards of 250 bucks.
Option 1 is to get 12v pump, a battery and charger mounted near tank, lots of fuss and probably not good in North Idaho winters.
option 2 is run quick disconnects from the rig batteries back near the tank, but then I've got floppy wires and guage is questionable. Trailer wiring 4-flat connector work?
option 3 is find a 110v pump, but spendy. Don't need a meter, just a pump. Tried Grainger, HF, Amazon, etc but to no avail.
option 4 is build a stand and rely on gravity feed, but need the tank mobile in the summer, plus I'd need a pump (and another tank)to empty it too while lifting it.
Anybody got any good ideas?
