Drill pump safe for fuel...
 

I want to drain the rest of the tank on the Sonic. Anyone know where I can pick up a relatively inexpensive but worthwhile pump that is safe for pumping fuel?

Why?:confused: :confused:

The drill pump itself is OK for fuel. It's the sparks generated by the drill you have to worry about. You dont want to make a flame thrower!

BTW, I've got a $30 carter electric fuel pump for jobs like that. Most auto parts stores will have them.

For transport... to lighten the load a bit.



Thanks Gary.

I have used the drill pumps successfully. They do take a while though.

I wouldn't worry about it.:D

ROFLMAO! :D :D :D

I bought one of those siphon tubes that has a check ball in it. You shake the tube ( ya, it looks like your wackin it) it it gets the siphon started. I had to drain 100 gallons of old fuel when my boat was in extended storage. I had all the neighbors show up with their lawn mower gas cans and they were all appreciative. Its a good size hose and works well. Nice to have around and you don't need an outlet if you ever need a few gallons out of the tank for your own mower. I pull the sending unit and go straight into the tank.

By the way, at 6 pounds a gallon is it really worth the effort. What are you towing with and how much?
