Fresh fuel straight out of the trucks. I didn't ask any questions, and
he didn't volunteer a lot of information. Anyhoo, I got five 55 gal
barrels sitting on pallets that I now need to pump into my Dodge as needed.

What kind of pump do I need? I probably would need it in the future for
special times, but don't want to spend a lot. Would one of the
push/pull kinds be okay? What kind of electrical would do it without
getting a cheapie and burning it up? Would an in-line filter be a good
idea?


Yes, get a push/pull (or rotary) pump and be happy. It is not a lot of
fuel and you only need so much at a time.

What to look for? Caveats? Suggestions?

After having used both for many years..a rotary is "easier"
