| Re: Fuel pump Anyone ever try putting a gas station type setup in their trailer? Obviously not that big, but maybe something like a 20 gallon can with a submersible electric motor and a nozzle for easy re-fueling. | |

Go to Overtons.com and search for 31249 and this: item 36866 $99 http://www.overtons.com/graphics/pro...ium/36866M.jpg They also sell the pumps separately |

| Re: Fuel pump That depends on how big of a pump you get. I've use 110V pumps that would empty a 200,000 gallon pool in 3 days. I've also use 110V pumps that would take 2 weeks. Volts have nothing to do with it, it's the amperage of the motor. |

| Re: Fuel pump A couple of guys that I know that race (the George brothers) have a similar setup with a 15-20 (?) gallon tank mounted on a cart with an electric pump that they hook up to a battery. Seems to work really well for them. Sorry I don't have more details... |
