The first time that I have found something that is less expensive in Canada than in the US...
Sold by Amazon... US version $75.33 with free shipping.

I use a tera transfer pump….I can’t confirm long term durability but I’ve had one for a few sessions now. It works great.

interesting...ad doesn't say if good for diesel though, not even gas...but does say 'snowmobile',but not 2 stroke of 4 stroke....
I just buy mu diesel in 10L jugs, 3 at time. can't lift/carry 20L ones any more. If I used lots of diesel, I'd just use a 45G barrel. I have a $600 proper 'fuel transfer' unit here...used once,collecting dust.

I'm cheap too. I bought this pump back in December the fill the hydraulic fluid after having to split the tractor. Worked great for the hydraulic fluid and since then been used for both gas and diesel multiple times. For $16us I wasn't expecting much and was positive I'd be returning it. I've pumped between 80-100 gallons so far.


I will say the hydraulic fluid was slow to pump but it beats standing there with a five gallon bucket trying to carefully pour into a small funnel.

I found that same one at the local Harbor Freight store (not on the website though) for 9 bucks. I used it for about 3 years and it finally crapped out. Bought another one, still about the same price and I could not get it to work. Once they are used in fuel they can not be returned. However, HF has a toll free number for that eventuality and they refunded my money . I then tried some ancient batteries on it before scrapping it and somehow it started working!
I previously had bought the Terapump TRF01 for about 55 bucks. The piece of crap started leaking badly at the threaded collar and by the three months of use, it would just leak and it could not pump any fuel.

Has anyone experimented with trying to put some sort of fuel filter in line with that Harbor Freight pump?

I was wrong . It is on their website now but you have to buy in a store.

Harbor Freight Pump
Thanks for the link! (which states that it’ll be available online after Feb 25)
and says it’s suitable for gasoline also.
I think this might be a handy way to empty a fuel tank.

Thats the one I use. The hose is not very long but I set the jug on the deck of my BX and fill er up! I do like the longer hose on the one Dusty posted but not the price for basically the same thing.

I've a fuel filter. Haven't used it in years but thinking about buying another filter for it and using it to filter the 50 hour hydraulic fluid I remove and put back into the tractor. I've a 12v Northern Tool extractor pump to pump through it. Don't think a battery powered pump has enough ooomph to pump through a filter.

Tried a Mr. Funnel. Have never ever had a water in diesel problem since 1978 in using diesels. What's the use? It just cuts down on the flow of fuel into the tank.

I got tired of the cans and got a 15 gallon plastic barrel form facebook shopping thingie. Got a HF fuel pump had a coupon so that was cheaper. Around a hundred bucks and I have fuel for a couple weeks one the drum is filled,, the HF pump has a filter in the end of the pick up hose. That paper towel is gone I opened the large bung to fit the hose,, It works pretty well, a funnel inthe small bung allows filling it from the 5 gallon gas/fuel cans
