That is all true. However, I do not like the
idea that the safety of the operation is
dependent on a person remembering which drill to
use. I have never seen one of those drill pumps
that was approved for use with gasoline. Maybe
they exist. I just have never seen
one. Usually, there is a specific statement about NOT using with gasoline.=
I have one more thought about using an actual
fuel pump like I suggested earlier. I have done
this, and it works great. Make sure you check
the gpm rating of the pump you select. I pumped
out the 3/4 full fuel tank on my boat using a
pump like that, sending the fuel directly into
the gas tank of my Ford Expedition. My boat has
a 41 gallon tank. The Expedition capacity is
33.5 gallons. I made sure that there was enough
room in the tank. The car was almost empty when
I started. Anyway, the pump I used was
originally intended for an MGA. The whole
transfer operation took about 30 minutes. If I
was purchasing a pump specifically for this
purpose, I would look for one that would get the job done a little faster.
