A worker was doing some work at our farm. His tractor ran out of gas. He pulled out this "unit" that had a miniature pump on one end, 2 cables with small battery cable type connectors and about 6' of 1/2 hose. He inserted the miniature pump into his truck (he had removed the "thingy" that keeps you from putting in unleaded gas). He put the 1/2 hose into the tractor gas tank. He attached the battery charger type cables to his battery. Then, it pumped gas out of his truck into his tractor SAFELY!


One of the greatest dangers (IMO) in re-fueling the 8N (if it is has been running), is the inevitable spill to the exhaust manifold. It is one of mine and my wife's greatest fears.

Having said all of that.....has anybody every heard of this "rig"? Do you think the guy made it himself?

If anyone has any information, please respond with manufacturer...vendor...model...approx cost.

Besides....we are getting a little "long in the tooth" to be holding a 5 or 10 gallon can of gas up until it fills our 8N!

TIA

I got tired of carring fuel for my tractor so I put a Electric Fuel pump in line with my trucks fuel pump and added a 8 ft. hose and a shut off valve on the end of the hose. I can flip a switch under the dash and open the valve and fuel mine or fill up 5 gal. cans with it from my tank. pumps about 1 1/2 plus gal a min kind of slow but comes in handy. Cost about $60.00 for everything. And it is safe for gas. Mark H.

There are such pumps available for about $80.00 from places like Northern Hydraulics, HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT APPROVED FOR GASOLINE TRANSFER. They are designed for use with kerosene, diesel and oils. There's a problem with non-insulated and ungrounded pumps and the flash point of gasoline. You can get a gasoline-approved pump for a lot more money. You can buy a manually-operated approved gasoline pump that would be suitable for occasional use. Gasoline nozzles should be brass or some other non-ferrous metal that doesn't carry a sparking hazard. Also be wary of the static-electricity discharge danger that has caused some fires in pickups using plastic bed-liners when used to haul gasoline containers.

Glad you brought up the plastic bed liner note. I never even thought about that as being a hazard, but you are right about that. I carry a 55 gallon drum on occasion in my plastic lined bed. Probably isn't legal to carry that much gas in the back of a pickup, but not sure?
Thanks

I've seen these setups for diesel or kerosene but they are NOT designed for gasoline, too volatile! Was he running a diesel tractor? I think Northern Tools carry these.

Northern tool has those pumps. Also a marine gas caddy might be good for you. They are made for gas and are on wheels. Try the link below.
