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.
