| Shouldnt you paint the tanks black so theyre less noticable at night while youre filling up lol
Whats the draw on the pump? Is the aux power in the trailer plug strong enough to handle that amperage?

| Whats the scoop with the jet fuel.
I had a co worker that was getting Jet fuel fopr free, they would pump ther tanks from the planes dry after they landed to remove condensation. and put it in 55 gallon drums, that had to pay to dispose of it so he would take it for free. added some 2 cycle and had good luck for a while. Man that stuff was hard on seals. | |

| The battery lead on the 7 pin connector is rated for 50 amps as I recall. It is there to recharge a battery located on a trailer. So, it will easily handle the transfer pump. Just make sure to tap into the battery lead, not another lead as no other lead in the 7 pin connector will handle the transfer pump.

| wow 50a? didnt seem like the gauge of wire was that large last time I was in there. I guess the easy way would be to look in the book and see what size fuse powers it.

| That's easy Jay. The diagram is right on the lid of the 7way plug on your truck. Just look at your owners manual for the fuse rating.

| I made my set-up a little cleaner now....
I piped it so it would fit nice in a milk crate,...and the 12 volt pump now runs off of my 7-pin tow package plug.

| Actually...the waste fuel is in 400gal tanks.
What normally happens is...a company comes in and pumps it out of the tank,...then they charge us a HAZ/MAT fee,...they filter it,...then sell it back to us at regular price.
Soooo....technically...they charge us a total of 3 times for the same fuel....lol | |

| Have you checked to see if its safe for all your seals and gaskets in the motor like fuel lines, injectors, intake manifold etc?
I used to use 130 octane aviation fuel. I would get the fueler that fueled my twin cessna to fill my tank behind the hanger for my 77 Trans Am which had a 460 CU and Ram Air 5 heads, with a full AA/Dragster bottom end and a 400 shot of nitrous.
The thing I had to watch out for is that the fuel had antifreeze in it so I had to change the oil much more often as it would get antifreeze in the bottom end.
Now my plane only went about 25,000 feet with turbo motors and Jets of course go as high as 36,000 feet so they MUST be using antifreeze in their fuel. Did you factor that in?
I would just hate to hear it trashed you motor in some way. |

| Yeah....I did a butt load of research before I took this project on.
I only use the "sample fuel" that comes from the Helo's.
There isn't any prist in it ...so I'm good.
The military runs the exact same stuff in their trucks when they run out of normal diesel....and they don't have any problems. They don't don't add 2 cycle.....I do. |
