Has never failed me and I think I gave 10 bucks for it at autozone. Pumps like crazy and if I dont attach the line to the tank fully, blows it clean of the brass tubing, HEHE I love it. Piper

That sounds like a great idea. No problem with the nito eating away at the pump?

Status: offline 		He's right about the windshield wiper pump!! It's 10 bucks and will last you forever and pumps fast!!

I've used it for pumping smoke oil as well. I have not tried unleaded, but I suspect it would work in that application as well!!

Status: offline 		The entire electric pump for glo idea started with Ford windshield washer pumps so I don't see why they wouldn't work with the new designs.

My original began to leak after a lousy 25 years------you'd think they would make them a little better
