RE: Fuel Pumps
I use nothing but geared manual pumps for all my aircraft even the gassers however I tend to use not so large a tank with them and 24 ounce being the largest.
Forty ounces may be approaching your personal limit on cranking only you can estimate that but I like the fueling time as its a good time for gab with the buds.
I do have two cross country airplanes one that carries 72 ounces of glow fuel and the newest will carry 128 ounces of glow and I also use the manuals but these efforts are perhaps just a couple of times per year and agine I do not mind the cranking.
Some thoughts on the Six shooter. Absolutely it will push more fuel per revolution than the geared pumps but think about that, at what cost ever try to ride a bicycle up a steep hill in high gear? Can't give them away around here. Each revolution produces a very chunky and difficult to use action.
