I needed to drain the fuel tank on my M1035 truck. So I made up this little pump. ![transfer fuel pump 001.jpg transfer fuel pump 001.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/402/402489-5087bd6b73261f735cf2aa2004f903f4.jpg)

The valve on the side selects from filtered fuel to non-filtered fuel. The extra hole by the valve was a mistake. The fittings on the end are "quick disconnects" from a motorcycle. I still need to install the power lines. I figured since it's in a 50cal ammo can they should be military style connectors. So I ordered some from McMaster-Carr. This pump should move between 3 (filtered) to 5 (unfiltered) gallons of fuel a minute. There are 2 check valves to keep the fuel from backflushing into the filter. I also used DOT nylon hose. I didn't want the hoses rotting on me and then leaking all over the place in a few years.
I know it's not "official" military equipment but it will be used to "support" military equipment, so I guess that should count for something . Anyway maybe this will give others some ideas for their fuel needs.
