Fueling Equipment

That looks like a good unit. It looks like you have carpet in your pick up bed so I would be a bit concerned sliding that plastic across the carpet and static building up and have a very unpleasant day. I have seen folks using a grounding wire in a like situation, just a thought.

How long does it take that unit to pump 20 gal?

The pump puts out 4.5 gpm so you do the math. It pumps at about the same rate as pouring from a 5 gal can.

Kevin, the pump comes standard to run on 110/120 vac so I use a long extension cord. Wurx says they have an adapter to run on 12 vdc.

Tracstarr, the hose is 6' long. The fittings are non-standard plastic, I think, so lengthening the hose might take some study.

This setup is inexpensive and probably not something that will take a lot of abuse and last for 20 years. The 20 gal tank itself seems quite sturdy; the pump/hose/nozzle is where the low cost shows up. Its a step up from plastic jerry cans and seemed worth a try for me.
The threaded bung that the pump fits into appears to me to be the same size as the bung on a steel 55 gal drum. I'll bet if you wanted to upgrade the pump/hose/nozzle you could buy a standard barrel pump (hand crank or electric) and install it on the Wurx 20 gal tank. This combo could give a fairly heavy duty setup with the convenience of the smaller 20 gal tanks.

Did Wurx replace your pump that died? Wondering about their customer service.

Wurx is great, I drove up there (90 minutes) and got a tour of the factory. I have the electric pump which works great, just wish the hose was a couple of feet longer

I agree. Now if I could only source ethanol free fuel.

[jiott]

That is really cool.

John, is that a steel or aluminum tank?

John, is that a steel or aluminum tank?

It's aluminum, Jim.
