Good morning, Looking for a small inline transfer pump to move fuel from the aux to main tank. All help appreciated, Thanks in advance. Kyle

Yes, I am very happy. It is simple and works perfectly every time ! Has an on/off petcock on the side of the tank which I normally keep closed while driving. In general, I turn it to 'on' at night after I get set up at camp.
It IS a very slow process to refill the OEM tank. I assume because it's a very small diameter line that connects the aux tank to the OEM filler hose. There is also a one-way valve at that junction which closes when the tank is full so fuel will not continue to flow and go out the fuel cap (or vent system).
That's why I just transfer the fuel overnight, although if I absolutely needed to I would not hesitate to flip open the petcock if I was running short of fuel in the OEM tank before I was done driving for the day - and I have done just that a few times.
I like simple and really have found no need for an electric pump.
