True, can’t beat the trusty 20L drum for most situations, handy that a lot of machines have suction pumps on them nowadays 😎

I had a few of these before also..... handy but not very "heavy duty"

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
If I`m using 25l drums, I use a 12v transfer pump, only problem you need access to a battery.
This type of thing

Don`t know why in that picture they got the delivery nozzle on the suction pipe :rolleyes:
was sat here thinking exactly the same thing Craig ??????? o_O ... got summat similar to that, but a faff to set up for 25ltrs ..... the little injection delivery pump is a POP to use and'd deal with a jerry or 25 pretty smartish

That looks like a standard in-tank pump. They are cheap as chips. Put one in my discovery. Sod paying £150 for the whole thing when the pump inside can be fixed for £15!
it's the in-line one from under a Granny Alex -- SDs use a Lucas version which has a bigger bore and flow rate ... will pressurise the fuel rail to 40PSI so shift a lot of fuel as they're a return loop system .... you could just as easily use an in tank motor unit, but they're smaller bore and rely on their immersion to cool them .. the in lines rely on flow for cooling

This is mint - I would buy one tbh!
someone put that up on the CEF a long time ago .... 'tis very neat but might as well use a tank and half/partially fill it

Depending on your enthusiasm this wouldn't need plugging in


Battery one


Or put mini Anderson connectors on the mobile pump and near the fuel tank on all machines

Also if using Jerry cans

I've a little submersible pump like this


Works well it'll drop in most 25l drums I just have a length of 3/4 hosepipe on it and clip it to the machines battery. I often use it out of a 205 barrel in the van much better than humping 25L cans if there's any quantity to fill

for years i used a submersible water pump the same as a caravan water pump. one actually came with one of the new 3cx machines i drove, i put on a socket to fit into the warning beacon, it worked ok and did not take long to empty a five gallon drum. when i first used it i thought it would not last long but as long as you dont run them dry they are ok, i still have it in my shed and it still works it must be 15/20 years old. obviously not as good as a fixed pump but cheap as chips to buy not high pressure but decent enough flow.
