Used to keep the in-cab tank in my old Chevy company truck nearly full so I could draw gas for the generator, air compressor or any other gas equipment on the job. Beat heck out of hauling full gas cans to the site. Only had to haul diesel fuel cans.

Takes forever to transfer fuel with one of them little hand syphon pumps, since they generally have small hoses on them.
