What transfer pump   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #25497 of 26247 |
What kind of transfer pump is everyone using to fill up the truck?

I have seen some 115V fuel pumps with auto off nozzles but pricey $
200.00 Is there a less expensive option?

I thought about using a HF pump but I dont want to over fill and have
a spill.
