Question:

I’ve got a 55-gallon gasoline drum in my shop next to an outlet. I don’t want to deal with batteries. What’s the best plug-in option?

Hey Steve, for a stationary tank near household power, the fill-rite fuel transfer pump # FR75XQ 115V AC, 15 GPM is the cleanest solution.

It runs on 115V AC, mounts to a standard 2inch bung, and includes a 12 foot long 3/4 inch diameter hose with static ground wire and manual nozzle. It delivers 15 gallons per minute, which is ideal for small to mid-size equipment.

It’s rated for 30 minutes on / 30 minutes off and uses rotary vane pump technology for steady flow.

Are you fueling just small engines or full-size vehicles as well?
