Good grief...... I would have never even thought of doing something so
stupid. I'm pretty sure those motors have brushes, and brushes mean
sparks. I dont even like using those little drill operated pumps that
you can buy anywhere for under $5. I have one, used it for water
several times, but for gas I'll stick to the old fashioned hand
operated squeeze bulb, and make sure not to smoke while doing it.
