Comparing Fill-Rite Fuel Transfer Pumps - Manual Pump VS Electric Pump  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Hey there Sam, for smaller transfers like 10 gallons at a time, the manual pumps would be perfectly adequate.

The Fill-Rite rotary style fuel transfer pump # FR98XQ gives you controlled output at 10 gallons per 100 rotations, and the hand pump style # FR53XQ doubles that per cycle at 20 per 100 pumps.

Electric models like the # FR35XQ 20 GPM and # FR75XQ 15 GPM are ideal when you’re fueling often or filling larger tanks and want to save time and effort. If it’s occasional use and no power nearby, manual keeps things simple and easier to setup/use.

All styles will be able to attach to standard 2" bung on tanks and drums.

What kind of equipment are you fueling?

Mainly just our gator and gas trucks that we use for our business. No fuel station nearby so we want to fill up here each morning before work.

@Sam Oh okay nice, that's a good idea. It really comes down to if you have power where you want the pump to go. I think the manual options would work fine though unless you plan to add more vehicles to your fleet in which case electric would be easier and more efficient.
