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

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.

A few days ago the news from Denver showed that some one was drilling holes
in bottom of auto gas tanks at airport parking lots. To steal gas. If they
were using a battery operated drill (which has sparking brushes) they were
living on luck. WW
