fixitrod Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'm looking at buying a 55gallon drum of race fuel. I was wondering how do you get it out of the barrel. Is there a cheap hand pump or something I can get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yeah, you have to have a pump...shouldn't be too much....check with your local coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'm looking at buying a 55gallon drum of race fuel. I was wondering how do you get it out of the barrel. Is there a cheap hand pump or something I can get? Thats probably the easiest. We have 55 gal drums of coolant (unmixed) and 10w40 for farm equipment, both with small handpumps on top. They should just thread right into an opening on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshdog Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I would get one of those syphons (sp?) probably as cheap or cheaper than a pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Any places that I can get these please let me know. I'm sure I can get one at Klotz which is where I'm getting the fuel. It's about 10min from my house but I can just imagine how much they want for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Klotz doesn't sell them. I did find some on ebay and I'm gonna call tractor supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yes it does, thanks a lot!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Beat me to it... either Northern or Harbor Freight ought to have something that'll work for ya. I would get a pump vs a siphon, personally... they're relatively mess free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 There's a harbor freight in town that has them for 17.99. Thanks a lot. Now I just have to buy a head with high comp domes and the fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDSTAR Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Light a torch and cut a little hole in the bottom of the drum. Fuel should start pouring out if you did it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Light a torch and cut a little hole in the bottom of the drum. Fuel should start pouring out if you did it right. I guess its rather obvious how someone might tell if its done wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Just duct tape some garbage cans together then cut a hole in the side and put a cork in it. To get fuel out, remove the cork. If it leaks put duct tape on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 when i checked into it it was the same price 1 gal or 55 so buying by teh barrel wont always save you cash but a plate steel tank for int eh bed of your truck would be way cool could be very easily made and that way you can gravity feed it or use a small electric pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 5 gallons $36 55 gallons $245 Big savings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
