Any suggestions for a good pump for gasoline?

You already have a fuel pump in your tank. Tap the fuel rail on the
engine. There is usually a drain tap there.


There's a "drain" tap on the fuel injection rail? (or are you joking?)

If you're not joking, I'll have to look.

If a fuel rail tap exists, maybe it's threaded for nice secure connections.


Yes there is a fitting on the fuel rail.
You need a special fitting to screw onto it to open the valve and get
fuel out.

The fuel pump will NOT stay running constantly by just turning the key.
It will turn on for a couple seconds and then shut off.
You will be waiting about 30 minutes to transfer the gas. The pumps
don't pump a lot of volume. It's a great way to burn out the pump.
