That is all true. However, I do not like the idea that the safety
of the operation is dependent on a person remembering which drill to
use. I have never seen one of those drill pumps that was approved
for use with gasoline. Maybe they exist. I just have never
seen one. Usually, there is a specific statement about NOT using
with gasoline. <br><br>
I have one more thought about using an actual fuel pump like I suggested
earlier. I have done this, and it works great. Make sure you
check the gpm rating of the pump you select. I pumped out the 3/4
full fuel tank on my boat using a pump like that, sending the fuel
directly into the gas tank of my Ford Expedition. My boat has a 41
gallon tank. The Expedition capacity is 33.5 gallons. I made
sure that there was enough room in the tank. The car was almost
empty when I started. Anyway, the pump I used was originally
intended for an MGA. The whole transfer operation took about 30
minutes. If I was purchasing a pump specifically for this purpose,
I would look for one that would get the job done a little faster.

When I was in A&P school we were never allowed to use an electric
drill for this very reason. We only used air drills. But a
lot of newer drills are brushless. No brushes, no sparks.Â

<dd>There is no way I would do this. On my drill, if you look into
the vent slots while the drill is running, you see sparks. If you
are going to bother buying a pump, just go get a small electric
fuel pump. There are still risks, but at least you are
dealing with something intended for gasoline. You can find
suitable pumps for not much money. Here's one example,Â
pretty much selected at random.<br><br>
