Fueling with gas
 
How do I fuel up with gasoline without having to crank and crank?

How about using a Basket ball pump hooked to your Gas can to pressurize it..... This works great! When the tank is full pull the pump out to let the pressure out.

Sonic tronics makes an electric 12 volt gasoline pump. Very nice but a bit pricey.

Any idea how this "solid state" pump works and how fast it pumps ?

Automotive electric fuel pump works great. Pick a used one up at the autowreckers. They only pump in one direct so switch the lines around to defuel.

Not sure how it works but they claim it will pump 1.2 quarts per minute or 20 galons per hour. sonictronics.com

Thanks Gil. That number is pretty good. Still wondering how their pump works. Is it some kind of rotary pump ? or diaphragm pump ?

Not sure, on their site it say's no diaphrams to wear out so it must be a rotary type pump. it sales for $79, I think I will use a universal automobile electric fuel pump for about $15. I am also trying to find the web address for the kavan electric gas pump.
