Default RE: Fueling problems


ORIGINAL: black alder

Hi Guys,
I am wondering if I should just switch to a hand crank pump where I can vary the volume and the speed which the fuel enters the tank.


In addition to always using two line systems I gave up on electrical pumps years ago. The modern geared manual pump (not the six shooter type) allows any fueling rate you desire and of much more importance it allow resonable accurate accounts of your fuel usage and your predicted endurance just by counting cranks going in and out. Unless you are using tanks over say about 16 ounces then the geared manual is my preferrance.
