I am curious to know what types of pumps are in use to pump liquid feed.
I use a 4.9 GPM Sur-flow 12 volt pump to pump sugar solution through a 100
foot hose. I run the pump off a marine battery independent of the truck
and have an inline filter (T-Jet) placed in front of the pump intake to
pick up any particulates. The hose is mounted on a hose reel and I use a
200 gallon 'tote' for the liquid feed. I use an aluminum gas nozzle to
dispense the feed. This set-up works pretty well but my pump is nearing
the end of its useful life and I would like to go with a higher volume 12
volt pump. The only problem I have with this set-up is purging air from
the line from the tank to the pump when the tank gets low and the sugar
solution sloshes around. I installed a 'T' with a cut off valve on the T
that allows me to purge the air, so that solves the problem most of the
time. Does anyone have suggestions on higher volume 12 volt pumps?
thanks,
