Gas tank/Cans with 12V pumps?

[sledskiing]

I am looking for a gas can 15-25 gal that i can put in the bed of my truck and run a pump off of it. Trick is it needs to sit under my sled deck. Any ideas?

I saw a guy with 2 10 gal tanks that sat at the front of his trailer and ran off the trailer wireing. Pretty slick.

check for some fuel cells for race cars, the plastic ones are sometimes pretty squat, then just throw an in tank electric pump on it or something.

maybe one of these, 16 gallons, and 120 bucks

run by something like this on a switch.

this one you could put in the bed really easily. looks like a good fit and 180$$

if its to fuel sleds, you could do a gravity feed pretty easily, it just might be a little slow.,

and maybe something like this to run it

thats all my ideas for now, i dont wanna keep this thread at the top to long!!

from the looks of it so far it's not gonna be cheap. Pump $170 + Tank $120
It's a lot cheaper than a transfer tank set up

 

[Wheel House Motorsports]

yeah no kidding, its definately not cheap, your better off with a few 5 gallon cans, then you can use em for other stuff, but it would be a sweet setup nonethelesss

I ran a fuel cell similar to this one in my V8 S10..Think it was closer to 20 gallons..

I'd have to guess you can find a 'pump' for a bit cheaper...

Let me talk to my dad, he has an elec fuel pump and fuel cells under his enclosed...way sweet. Let me find out what he used.

Why not use one of those pumps from VP racing....its a manual syphon type but they sure pump....and no spilling when your full you just break the vacuum and she stops....

I got this one built for my truck, but at 85gal its a little bigger then you are looking for.

Another good source for portable tanks is a marine supply house. Lots of different shapes and sizes for boats.

Tanks

My nephew builds fuel tanks. Any size, material, outlets, inlets available. If you shoot me some dimensions I can check with him.

He is the one who built the tanks for my enclosed that DJ is talking about. And I picked up an electric fuel pump off eBay that pumps 5 gallons per minute, so filling is quick.

Rave,

What pump did you get?

Curious what did that thing set you back?

 

[RedRider]

I think it was 600 for the tank, plus the pump and stuff.

Why did you use a pump rather than just gravity flowin' it?

 

[RedRider]

Takes too long to let it gravity fill with a 3/8 line.

What pump did you get?
