Rotaries are better/easier. The lamentation I hear from the manual
guys is that it takes a tiring half hour to tank up. For cache fuel,
one would work just fine. You likely won't be in any hurry to fuel up
in a dystopic future. They're tagged at 10gpm, but only if you're 6'4"
and athletic buff. Buy two, they're cheap. In a dystopic future, two
is one and one is zero. Or buy 4 and sell the other two for food.


What kind of electrical would do it without
getting a cheapie and burning it up?

You'll double your investment cost if you go with an electric.
Northern and HFT both have them, $99 and $129 respectively.
I'm optimistic and would trust either.


Would an in-line filter be a good idea?

Absolutely. The cheapies come in the kits, or buy a really good one
with water separator. I put a nice Racor on the diesel tow truck for
an employer a couple decades ago. http://tinyurl.com/m5lvmeh or
similar. They do separate the water in bad fuel, too, which you might
be receiving for that price. Be safe.

Get backup bung wrenches, too.

Don't know... but think I'd start by looking at pumps & pump info on the
McMaster Carr website.

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.

To add to this: we pump a lot of oil and fuel. Pump diesel fuel out of
trucks we sell, pump oil out of vehicles and machines, etc etc etc.

90% of time we use a pneumatic membrane pump that we have.

Syphon into gerry cans or 20L drums & then pour via a funnel into your

I use a manual rotary pump to pump hydraulic oil into a 5 gal pail. It
takes less than a minute to fill it up.

http://tinyurl.com/m9ltuvm Yeah, that'd do quite nicely on the outlet
of the pump. And just $40.
