[AT] fuel transfer pumps

[charlie hill]

John,  I don't know about pumping gasoline with it but my 
expensive 12V pump went out a couple of years ago.  I took a 
chance and bought a cheap one from Harbor Freight.  I figured
it it made it a year or two I'd be alright.  It's never missed a lick.
It works every bit as well as the old one that cost close to $500 
and if I remember right the one from HF was well under $100.
Again, I don't know if it's safe to pump gasoline with it but I suspect
it is.

Well it appears I've had another fuel transfer pump to quit This is the 
second 115 volt Fill-rite pump I have had to have something electrical 
go out in it in less than 10 years. According to the meter which I 
bought new with the first pump, we have pumped a little over 5,000 
gallons of gas. It seems to me that these pumps ought to be able to 
handle 5-600 gallons a year for a couple decades, not 4-5 years. The 
pumps stay under a shelter, never pump over 25 gallons at a time. No 
repair shop localy wants to touch one once they hear I am pumping 
gasoline. I buy the cheapest one they make, even then its over $300. 
Anybody here have any better luck with their more expensive models? How 
about another brand?
