Fuel transfer pump

[ghilliehunter]

Habitat members, I want to fill a tractor from 5 gallon fuel cans with a transfer pump while leaving the cans on the ground. Plenty of options lifting the jug equal to the height of the tractor hood, but I don't want to do that, even using the loader. Need to be able to pump to a height of 5 feet. Preferably battery or 12 volt powered. Anyone else have a set up that works? Thanks.

Pic of what I've used before, just won't pump high enough.

Northern tool has a portable one. I don’t have one just remembered seeing them.

But it’s only for diesel. No gasoline

You didnt specify price. Thats 15 gallon but it might screw on to a five gallon can.

We have a similar unit at work to run fuel from the shop to a tractor that never comes home. 55 gal drum and a pickup. Its not perfectly clean, but it gets the job done.

Take a battery with you or just hook it to your pickup battery with alligator clips and power it that way.

Not sure of your situation, but breaking down and getting a 100 gallon tank with a 12V pump was the best money I have spent. Dealing with 5 gallon cans was killing me. Load the tank on the truck when needed, drive in and fill it up.
