Home Fuel pump?

JME81 · Nov 14, 2023

I have a cheap battery powered fuel transfer pump that works but due to the size of the tractor, the hose is not very long and I really have to stretch it reach especially when the fuel is getting low in the canister.

I found this one: VEVOR Diesel Fuel Transfer Pump Kit,10 GPM 12V DC Portable Electric Self-Priming Fuel Transfer Extractor Pump Kit

Any thoughts or experience with this product or others?

I have not used this, but it looks like it should serve your purposes.

I add only that, over the years, regardless of what's being fueled, I've become a big fan of a swivel at the nozzle.

I have a similar unit. I paid a lot more. The price looks too cheap to be a high quality item.

Vevor is hit or miss, for the most part they are a reseller of Chinese stuff. I have a chamber vac from them, and it works great and about a third the cost of similar units, they'll replace it if it fails within a year, but there is no parts or service. That's the thing with Vevor, it's a once and done thing, if it breaks outside of a year, you're on your own. As long as you know that going in, it's fine. I bought some chain from them, and it snapped the very first use. It was returned no problem.
Also, you can also find the items usually cheaper direct from Vevor's website, though immediate returns are probably easier through amazon and might be worth a bit more just for that.

I have one just like the Vevor one, purchased off Ebay. Mounted it to a homemade cart. The cart holds the pump, hose, 5 gal can, and a deep cycle battery. It's on casters so I can wheel it out to the tractor.

Years ago I bought an old Agway rotory hand pump. Works great and never needs power. I have used it to pump 110gal at a time and that's a work out for sure..but generaly I pump 3-8gal at a shot. It's real quick and nothing to hook up.
