This is a portable diesel fuel extractor, I made this from a fuel pump with quick disconnects on both ends and only added the pick up tube which I wanted clear to see whats being pumped and the filler tube. I also added the 12v DC power wire and clamps. As a weight on the pick up tube I threaded a 1" nut over the pick up tube to gravity feed the hose to the bottom. When pumping it is virtually silent, quiet is good.
This pump came from a GM diesel truck as a secondary pump for long runs. What amazes me is the fact that it pumps just fine at 20' of head. This filled a 5 gallon fuel can of diesel in about 4-5 minutes. I have pumped from truck to truck as well as extracting fuel from in ground tanks.
I feel in an emergency situation/bug in/bug out/wtshtf/waaf. These are cheap to make and is a handy tool to have around, I think every MV should have one just in case.
