On location and on demand,
April 7, 2009
By sonofthesouth
from Brooksville,Fla
"I bought this pump 2 years ago, and it's never let me down!!! I've used this little guy for onsite fuel transfers (pickup to dozer etc.) And it comes in handy for moving fuel from the main cells to aux. units (refer, pony tanks.) I used a 5/8 inch hose in and out with no problems, even with a 6 foot draw line. An aluminium draw tube helps if your hose wants to curl up, and a 5 gallon bucket makes it easy to carry the pump around and store it without the left-over fuel draining where you don't want it."

"I am using this pump for bio-diesel. It is a good pump, but dies for unexplained reasons. So, the extended warranty is a must!"

"Nice little pump, but for pumping anything thicker than diesel (like WVO), the fuse blows constantly."

SUPER PUMP!,
November 17, 2008
By Greaseman
from Texas
"I have two of these. Used one for collecting WVO and the other for pumping the processed biodiesel. I have changed the bio pump to a 110V system and now use both to collect WVO. Have been using them non stop for 7 months now and the only problem was the in line fuse melted on one of them while pumping some really thick WVO. I removed the fuse and it pumps great. That probably wasn't the best way to make the repair though. I think you could pump an entire chicken leg through these things they are great!!!"

Transfer Pump,
November 17, 2008
By BioBrad
from St. Charles IL
"I have used this pump to transfer biodiesel from drum to truck. Although I have not used it to pump more than 55 gal per use, the pump has worked flawlessly. The transfer rate is about ideal for filling vehicle tank. It is easy to adapt to power source other than direct to battery."

Fuel transfer pump,
August 27, 2008
By KPLH
from Grand Gorge,NY
"Works good, however I would have been better off purchasing the one that already had the hoses included. The cost is comparable except you would have an item ready to use out of the box. I wasn't aware that I needed the "special" hoses(heavy duty, wire enforced) Still a good purchase"

WVO,
May 31, 2008
By greasedlightning
from Polson, MT
"I've used this pump for 1-1/2 years pumping Waste Veggie oil and it has pumped hot and cold (gelled) oil. The first 6 months I didn't pre-strain the oil and it scored the chamber a little, but lasted another year being pre-strained.
I extended the cord and installed a twist lock plug on my battery for easy connection.
Great little pump!!"
