Default RE: What voltage for the kerosene pump?

I've got one of the first Jersey Modeler fuel cans. It has a 9.6 volt pack and it is way too much...I haven't split any tanks as I use all large fuel line on EVERYTHING but I did notice that during a hot refueling the turbine RPM increased substantially when the fuel pump switch was turned on....I was putting so much pressure on the system that I was over-running the turbine pump..[:@]...If left in this condition for very long (Long enough to fill the tanks) you can over-temp the turbine...I won't ever hot fuel again until I lower the voltage to the fuel can pump...

Speaking of fuel cans---Does anyone know where to purchase a "Low Boy" fuel can so that I can install my current Jersey Modeler electronics to the new Low Boy???
