Thanks for the reply. I ended up purchasing a $14 univeral pump at Autozone just prior to your reply. Seems to work well for fueling and unfueling and I try empty the pump when not in use in case there is a reaction with the alcohol. Time will tell if it starts to fall apart and leak.
You are right in that there is a need for an affordable low end pump.

I have found several guys in the club using the Hobbico Top Fueler MK 2 with no problems so I am going to replace my ever-leaking Sullivans with the Hobbico. It is currently listed at Tower as Top Fueler MK 3 and is only $ 13. We can only hope they are still being well made. Sorry , I PM'd Sr Telemaster about how the window washer pump was holding up, msg should have gone to DSZABO2..
You can buy [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVZ41]THIS PUMP[/link] for $12.99. I have the earlier MK II version & it has pumped the equivelant of 1/2 of a 55 gallon drum of 15% Cool Power fuel & then was left for 14 years W/fuel in it.
It was a little sluggish @ 1st, but after force priming it W/fresh fuel by blowing into the jug, it flushed itself out & is working like new.
Why spend more on an auto oarts store substitute?
