Default RE: Flight Box Fule Pumps ???Problems /Fix???

1 word SLIMLINE BOXER


having gone thru this same scenario and the fun of cleaning up the leaking fuel throughout my flight box, i decided to use what actually works.
this fuel pump by Slimline is like the hand pumps except it is done by a motor. the motor drives 3 rollers against a large piece of fuel line that creates a suction and pressure to fill the tank. nothing leaks. i bought the maintenance kit, and now 3 years later i still don't need it.
not the cheapest piece of field box equipment out there in regards to pumps, but the most trouble free to use.
based on spending money on 2 of the so-called popular electric pumps, this pump isn't that expensive at all, and it's quiet............none of that annoying whine that lets everyone know you are to lazy to crank a mechanical pump.
