Title: Hand op fuel pump recos?
Post by: Slide Panda on February 11, 2013, 06:32:45 AM
This is for draining tanks etc. I've bought two of the same plastic one - which are inexpensive and work well for a bit. But if left to sit for any period afte the initial use, they no longer function. Since I'd expect the same of a 3rd, I don't want to waste my time and $. I'd rather pay a bit more for something I can use for more than one project.

So anyone got a fave?

Hmm, learn something new nearly every day.  :P

I got a squeeze-bulb style from a boat shop ~20 years ago, it still works, standard issue for going between a tank and an outboard motor, probably this brand:
