I have one of those things, it is called
the gas caddy. It doesn’t solve Rusty’s problem because it
still needs to be stored somewhere. I like mine, works great. I got
it mail order for $260 including pump and shipping.
Rusty, I think you could take any 12V electric
fuel pump, connect it to some leads long enough to reach the car battery, and
some clear polyurethane hose from home depot, don’t forget to ground
everything, and you are in business.
Rusty,
are you talking about pulling fuel out of your truck's fuel tank
to fill the plane? What a wonderful idea. I have a 24gal tank on my
pickup. It would take two trips to the gas station, but it would be
much nicer than having some huge bomb-wannabe sitting around idle most
of the time.
Yep, that's what I'm planning. My
hanger police won't allow fuel storage, so it has to be something that you can
take with you. I thought of doing this before, but the typical tank only
holds 17 gallons or so, and that wasn't enough to be worth the trouble.
Now that I have this fine 34 gallon tank, it will work very well. The
RV-3 only holds 30, and will never be below 5 gallons. I just need a
suitable pump, and I'm in business. As you may be able to tell, I'm still
looking for reasons to help ease the pain of buying a truck, and selling my
FD. Not being arrested for tripling the speed limit is one reason
:-)

I was at West Marine Supply in Mobile, Alabama a couple of
weeks ago, and they have a nice 30 gallon plastic fuel container with a pump
handle similar to the one you use at a gas station for your car. Nice looking
setup. That is what I had considered using. I will try to stop by
there again in the next couple of days and check out the price. Paul Conner
