These are a little on the expensive side but they would probably work
well. You can buy the pumps separately.

Rusty, are you talking about pulling fuel out of your truck's fuel tank 
to fill the plane?  What a wonderful idea.  I have a 24gal tank on my 
pickup.  It would take two trips to the gas station, but it would be 
much nicer than having some huge bomb-wannabe sitting around idle most 
of the time.

Seeing as autogas can be hard to come by at some airports, what is the 
feasibility/drawbacks to a small, compact, self-priming pump that could 
pull the gas out of a car to fill the plane?  I'm sure there's somebody 
at most airports willing to trade a tank of gas for a 1/2-hour ride. 
Just 10ft or so of hose handy, drop it in their tank and suck em' nearly

dry.

Nah, that's just crazy.
