[AT] fuel transfer pumps

[charlie hill]

I forgot to say,  It will pump a 55 gal drum of diesel up hill about
5 feet above the top of the tank into my fuel oil tank in about 10 mins
or less.  I don't have an inline filter on it.  If I did I'm sure that would
slow it down some.

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?
