Looking for suggestions for a aux fuel system transfer pump.
Originally thought of a classic wobble pump but have had tough time
finding and old one or an affordable new one.
What is you budget and max weight? They will both be *deciding factors.

way lighter, smaller and preferably cheaper than that example.

That actually shows promise. Some of these cheap consumer grade pumps
actually pressurize the can with air to drive the gas out the filler
tube. Not suitable for a vented inflight system. Other piston pumps
I've seen are marketed for various fluids and specify that if used
with gasoline must be cleaned after each use, suggesting that they
really aren't tolerant of extended fuel exposure. This pump you've
found might in fact be made of fuel tolerant material since it's
marketed as a fuel specific pump. It's cheap, simple, lightweight...
I'm going to have to get my hands on one and check it out. Thanks for
bringing it to my attention. I was ready to give in and go electric
but this would be great if it checks out.,
