Question E85

I had just posted about meth kits. I found a E85 station about 40 minutes away. Started looking into 55 gallon plastic drums. My question is does anyone recommend a certain pump?

You mean a fuel pump, or transfer pumps for the drums?

Honestly don't have a ton of experience with that, but I would think to just snag one of those hand crank ones? You don't really need efficiency, you just need it to work.

I just use a grainger siphon pump, it has a long tube and its clear and orangy/reddish color with a long flexy hose to transfer the fuel out. Works great.

The first one I had I left in the drum but over time the plastic seal for the collector tube to the pump body dissolved lol so pumping was a PITA. I now remove the pump after Im finished every time and reseal it.

FYI, OP... you probably would've gotten more hits with a more appropriate thread title.

I just bought my first 5 gallon drum of E98 in Jan and went to the Harbor Freight store (yes they have stores as well) and I bought this hand pump.
http://www.harborfreight.com/barrel-pump-45743.html

Works great and fills a 5 gallon barrel which is then used to put fuel in the car in less than 2 mins. once you crank the pump a few times it starts sucking the fuel automatically without you having to pump anymore. It's cheap enough that you can buy a new one when this one eventually corrodes as it will sooner or later.

Haha... something more descriptive than 'E85'

Maybe... 'Need help with an E85 transfer pump'... I don't know. Make me want to click it!

Make sure your drums are "air tight".

E85 will soak up any moisture it can. If it sits out without being air tight it will ruin the fuel after a while.
