Has anybody rigged their car or truck to transfer fuel to their tractor? slow is ok. Would I burn up the truck fuel pump using it and bypassing into the tractor?I'm trying to figure out and effective way to do this..any ideas would be appreciated.

ags, it depends on the car/truck brand & type..

Most newer fuel injected vehicles will have enough fuel flow & pressure to allow the fuel rail pressure test fitting to be tapped & some fuel pumped to a container or tractor.. The process isn"t fast & some of those pressure taps are behind belts or hot items or next to impossible to get to..

On most vehicles either the engine will have to be running, or the oil or computer circuit by-passed to get the pump to work as most modern vehicles have a safety circuit to prevent fuel pump operation in a roll-over or after an accident so need engine RPM & or oil pressure present for the fuel pump to work..

If you tell us the manufacturer, type of vehicle & year of your vehicle we can probably help you figure out a way to get fuel out on the on board fuel system.

Thanks Clooney...I'll be using a 1997 Dodge Dakota pickup for the transfer...I'll check the fuel line and see if their is a convenient location to make the tap

On that truck will will have to put a valve and gage in the line you are using to fill your tractor. If fuel pressure is not maintained the jet pump filling the intank reservoir will not work properly and the reservoir will go dry and the engine feed pump will not get any fuel. You need to maintain a pressure of 30 psi or more.

That pump only puts out about 30 gallons of fuel per hr. so it will take awhile to fill a can or tank.

Hey AA Fuel Drag Stir; Can you carry 2 or more 5 gallon cans of fuel with a funnel and step ladder in tow? I know this method is laden with manual labor and doesn't LOOK neat or automated but I bet your grandfather and most of his friends did something close to that.

Hey I am a granfather...but that's not a problem. I just thought it would be nice to utilize the the 20 gal storage tank sitting under my truck. In the old days all one had to do was disconnect the fuel line from the carb, attach a hose to it and pump away or just stick a hose down the filler tube and siphon.Those days are gone forever. If I could figure out how to siphon out of the truck I'd be happy.

There are numerous siphon pumps available from simple cheap plastic tubing with a squeeze bellows to electric ones. I suppose the siphon action might not work if the tractor tank is higher than you truck tank, but the pumps on these devices would still do the job - just slower.

The problem is getting the hose to the gasoline.
