Am thinking of using a auto electric fuel pump for portable gasoline

Did some searching and seems workable.

Question: normally an auto electric fuel pumps run from a relay
circuit. Am wondering if the fuel pump can be run directly (no relay)
from a 12 Volt battery.
Maybe it would be smart to have a correct size fuse in circuit in case
something shorted out. Also add that the pump would be used only for a
few seconds at a time.

Hi Gene...

Personally I'd be scared stiff even thinking about it.

Pour your gas, use the sparkless method
