John =E2=80=93 a friend had the same problem with a pontoon =
boat=E2=80=A6 It was killing people=E2=80=99s shoulders to lift and =
hold gas cans to fill the boat from the dock.
=20
The solution was to mount a Facet square fuel pump and a couple of fuel =
lines in the area near the tank. Now, you just bring the gas can, set =
it down, put in the fuel lines, switch on, and let the pump do the work.

Don=E2=80=99t know if this will work for you, but if not at least it can =

I=E2=80=99m admitting it. I=E2=80=99m an old broke down guy. Been =
fighting leaves this week with a zero turn and a cyclone rake leaf =
vacuum. (Nearly 2 acres with 75 oak trees =3D many leaves) My worst =
part is filling equipment with fuel. I=E2=80=99ve got bad shoulders... =
one surgery=E2=80=99d and the other needs it. Hoisting and holding a =
30-35 pound gas can up above waist high is getting to me. The holding is =
the hard part... I know it gets lighter as it empties but it=E2=80=99s =
still a struggle. It takes 12-15 gals to fill the zero turn and about =
1/2 gallon to fill the vac motor. but both inlets are high and =
it=E2=80=99s at an awkward position also.=20
=20
I=E2=80=99m looking for a rack or tilting rack that will hold standard =
red plastic gas cans and allow for easy filling...I know I=E2=80=99d =
have to lift the can into the rack.. but then the rack could hold the =
weight during filling. I=E2=80=99ve seen the tilt racks for round 5 =
gallon cans but they are all too short. I can=E2=80=99t find anything =
on the net to suit. I won=E2=80=99t replace my cans with the ez-pour =
bottom spout cans. That would be about 150 bucks. I keep 5 five gallon =
cans for the mowers.
=20
Haven=E2=80=99t found an affordable pumping system that wasn=E2=80=99t =
too expensive, yet The cheap plastic ones behind Google all have bad =
reviews. =20
=20
Anyone built something like this ?? Or, have an affordable pumping =
system that works ??
=20
thanks
