55 gal drum: What transfer pump to use?

[Rich Biebel]

I have bought fuel by the drum for years. Gas and methanol.

I use the hand pump your friend described. They sell for less than $20 and work fine. When the drum is near full....it will syphon and you don't have to pump it.....Takes maybe 5 minutes to fill a 5 gallon jug.

When you race a methanol powered dragster with fuel injection....you burn a lot of fuel and buying it by the drum saves a lot of $$$

Thanks Rich. We also run methanol, but our juniors only use about a gallon each per weekend, so I dont keep more than 10 gallons on hand.
We used to have a circle track parts house in town, but it closed. Looks like Speedway in Lincoln has them for $15. My VP guy says he'll sell me one for $15.
No smoking in my garage...LOL.

I just wanted to confirm they arent junk.

The plastic red/white pump sounds like this one, which is what I've been using for years. One was getting old so I bought a spare over a year ago, but the old one is still pumping. Good deal if available for $15.00 locally.
