[quote="kheindl@msn.com"]It pumps up from the wing. We use it for fuel but it
is really meant just for water.I have repaired mine several times and now it
has a pinhole in the hose. Construction quality is very poor, but it's useful
when it works. Typical Chinese junk.
I currently use two 20 l fuel cans but fill them just over halfway to make them
easy to lift and hold.
The suggestion of pressurizing a sealed fuel can is best, using a mini
rechargeable
or powered from the car cigarette lighter compressor.

I agree with you Karl. I had another system pressurizing a jerry can using a
double
chamber foot pump metal valve in the cap and tube to bottom of jerry can.
This worked a treat even for a high wing aircraft (Luscombe).
Another system that works well for low wing aircraft if you have storage, is to
fabricate a stand with a large 3 point base. Make sure the platform at the top
is higer than the fuel filler hole. Convert a jerry can cap to take a spiggot
with fuel hose attached with a fuel tap at the end (to shut down fuel flow in
a hurry to stop over filling). Making sure structure is earthed. Then just let
gravety do the work. Simple, no moving parts and cheep!
