Diesel prices are through the roof (2.3€/L) but my backup fuel storage is ripe for rotation. Hopefully the prices have gone down a bit once I finish the last canister.
I always struggled with these 30L canisters and only strained my back and made a mess trying to pour it manually. This 14€ pump sure makes thing easier.
Surprised nobody has explained to you how a siphon works yet. You only need to pump it to get it started, then gravity does the rest. You’ll save the battery that way! Just make sure the can is higher than the outlet of the siphon.
I do know how siphon works. I just don’t have any good platform high enough to lift the canister onto.
What about … the truck?
But I understand. Siphons can be messy; I have a self starter and everything and sometimes just prefer to dump it manually.
It has a camper shell on it. Otherwise I could just put the canister on the bed.
gotcha. Pump sure is handy then. It’s just less fucking around.
A camper shell is what pickups are meant for? Didn’t know that.
Camper shell is an accessory - not a purpose.
I transport stuff with it. It’s my work truck.
I have a 7 foot hose with a little hand-operated ball pump for this. Stupid simple mechanics so I never have to worry about it breaking, and no battery to ever worry about being dead
