Gas transfer pump...Any suggestions?

What is a good little 12 volt transfer pump for gas?

To get gas out of class C and transfer to Honda generator when camping or like now gas in it is over 8 months old. I want to transfer to gas car to use it up. Not to mention filling up lawn mower.

Any ideas?

Thanks
  • do not use 8 month old gas in anything. my opinion...

    12 volt pump...

    ask around service stations.. for used fuel pump for inside of gas tanks in a car..

    install wires and clips.. 2 hoses... DONE..

    most fail to provide proper pressure but work fine Free pressure.

    been doing this for MANY years.

    I do not know of an off the shelf 12 volt fuel pump.

    The old back up plan is what the Texans always called the Oklahoma Credit card...

    The worse thing that happens is to get a mouth full of gas haha...

    I guess the new ones now come with a hand squeeze pump to get it flowing...

    Not sure how these work with the new gas filler caps....

    Hardly new, these squeeze pumps won't work with my 12 yr old 2005 Avalanche. :M

    No worries though, my Av runs on regular 10% ethanol gas that's depleted on a regular basis but I learned very quickly after buying my first EU2000i to never feed it anything but ethanol free gas which here in Canada is sold as premium at Shell and Esso gas stations. No way now I'd suck ethanol out of the truck to feed to the genset.
