Fuel pump suggestions

[Teikas Dad]

I've gotten tired of lifting 5 gallon jugs to the top of the tractor to fuel it so I decided to build a fueling setup. I'm figuring a 30 gallon plastic drum with a 12v fuel transfer pump mounted on it. My question is related to pump brands. I've found Fill-Rite, GPI, Roughneck, Traveller and Troy brands. Is one brand better than the other, or maybe I should approach it this way...what brands are junk? I'm not going to be using it every day like a contractor would so I don't need one of the big buck heavy duty units.

Any advice would be appreciated.

My Uncle uses the 30 gallon drums, but no transfer pump. He uses a shop, or small 12 volt, air compressor to "push" the fuel out rather than pump it.

That is an easy solution. Thanks!

Is there a reason you need an electric pump? I've used a hand crank pump for years. Even being crippled up with RA it is super easy to turn and get about 1/2 gallon per turn.

I have 30 gallon drums too and use a $30.00 rotary crank pump from Northern Tool.

I use a crank style hand pump. I've been debating getting a 12v pump. I have a nozzle with finger squeezed valve. I always end up needing someone to either pump or hold the nozzle.
