Tuthill 12v fuel pump?

paul · Mar 12, 2012

Are the Fillrite 12v fuel pumps all right? This would be perhaps the lower priced, 15 gal/ minute version. Don't want to buysomething that burns out in a year, but I don't need all that much pumping as I only go through 1500 gallons a year, most gravity flows out of the tank, just have to pump to the combine tank.

Good enough or junk?

I still use a hand pump,but I do see a lot of those electric ones.So they must be good.Any pump is better than a 5 gallon can....

The Fill Rite pumps are among the best and quite popular so parts or service aren't hard to get.

We pumped hundreds of thousands of gallons with Fill Rites on the harvest and they didn't give a hint of trouble. Jim

They are about the best you can buy for the money, I have two that I bought in 1975 and they are still pumping have replaced the vanes in both and a check valve they've pumped 1000's and 1000's of gals of fuel gas or diesel.
