Edd,
I use a battery operated pump that fits in a 5 gallon can to fill my
Kubota tractor and my kerosene heater. We also used it on Glenn
Gambel's C&C 36 when he had a temporary tank installed while motoring
across Lake Michigan to get to Milwaukee for a Queens Cup Race. We
refueled in mid lake in cold and wet conditions. It was even more
difficult because the inlet to the tank was buried below deck.
These types of pumps can be obtained from places like Tractor Supply or
Harbor Freight.

Listers,
A friend just sent me an ad for a battery-operated fuel pump for
transferring fuel from a jerry can to the Enterprise’s fuel tank.
Currently, I’m pouring from the jerry can directly into the tank, but
there is always some spillage and cleanup.
This looks like a nifty solution, but I wonder if it falls into the
too-good-to-be-true category.
Anyone here use one of these? Pros? Cons?
All the best,
Edd
