Looking for a reversible fuel transfer pump
I have a 12Gal aux tank that I want to be able to transfer fuel TO and
FROM my main tank. For simplicity and lightness, I'd prefer to use a single reversible pump on a single fuel line ... along with a solenoid shutoff valve in series to prevent gravity flow when off. There are cheapo plastic pumps available at a hardware store that would "do the job" but I wouldn't consider using one in an airplane. Yet I can't seem to find a QUALITY 12V reversible gear pump rated for gasoline. (I did find a few for oil and diesel at aptly-named reversopumps.com.) Anybody know of one? Pump capacity isn't critical, but would like it to be at least 3GPM. Thanks, Greg P.S. I say "gear pump" above because virtually all gear pumps are reversible by virtue of their construction, whereas other styles usually are not. But I'm not hung up on a gear pump as long as it can pump in both directions. |
