Gas Can Update and a Gas Pump

I bought some gas cans that I thought were the answer. Let's see if I still feel that way!!!
These gas cans I bought at Costco were pretty nice. But now that I have used them a few times, I have some issues. Check out this video and see what I mean.
In order to try and make these cans a bit more useful around the camp I bought a 12 volt battery powered gas pump to use with them. Here is an Amazon Affiliate Link for the pump:

I think the pump is pretty neat. But like anything, time will tell. Have a look and see what you think.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. Please 'thumbs up' me and leave me some comments. And if you haven't done so already, please consider 'subscribing' to my channel. It sure helps my videos get noticed and my channel grow.
I hope you all have a great week.
We'll talk to yas ...

Wow looks like I got way behind with Grampies workshop, but have no fear, I got some time off to catch up. Lovin the sleeves! That was pretty impressive Mike

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Steve!! No worries about getting behind. I have to admit I haven't had time to watch many videos lately either. But one of these days I hope to get caught up!! Thanks for commenting. Take care!!

I like that one looks like it going to work great 👍. We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏

How's she goin'? Mike I don't know where we would be without your continued prayers. Many many thanks old friend. This is a nice pump, so far!! LOL Time will tell eh! Take 'er easy!!

[@HannahofYore]

Cool gas pump! Around here the only place you can get gas for $1.39 is Taco Bell. 🌮🤣

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Wow, you did it again!! You out 'joked' me!! I can't get to upset about this one though as it was pretty good! There was a little diner on the road out to our camp and it had a gas pump too. The sign on the side of the diner said, "Stop for Food - Leave with Gas" LOL Take care!!

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome G《☆》Congratulations on Humberto's pump👍🏾🍺🤳The flat & Tall shaped cans Remind me of the WW2 metal Jerry cans. I guess they work ok if You have a place to strap them on your JEEP or Duce fenders. We actually got some of the OG cans at my old job. My Boss picked them up cheap at the Military Surplus Depot. I think they just collect dust✌🏼😁☯️

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Bdog, there are so many government regulations for gas cans these days, I'm amazed we are still allowed to use any kind of container to transport gas. But this pump looks like it'll be pretty nice as long as the plastic hoses don't crack. Take 'er easy!

[@PinetreeLine]

Looks like a pretty cool pump Mike! Thanks Brother!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I like this pump a lot Doug. I hope it'll pay for itself by me having less fuel spills!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@AngelsAware]

Hi Mike, I hope you like your new sleeves! You look mighty nice in your red T-shirt. I didn’t like the Costco can. We have one or two just like your old one and Bill really likes his. Praying for both you and Janet. We hope the bod is holding up for Janet. Take good care of yourself and enjoy the weekend if you two can! 🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Our temperatures have been in the 90’s for quite some time and isn’t suppose to get into the 80’s until later next week. Give Janet a hug for me please ❣️💕🙏🏻💞🙏🏻💗🙏🏻

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin"? I'll certainly give Janet a big from you Cathy and maybe it'll be an extra long one if you don't mind!! LOL I have to say the Costco can is nice, it's just too tall and doesn't work on my carrier and the rear door of the Bronco. Oh well. Just another thing in this world that isn't perfect!! LOL Not like it's the only one eh!! Prayers are being said for you and Bill. Stay cool and take 'er easy!!

[@RustyGlovebox]

I have a gas pump that I can move from can to can. I sure like it . Cheers Mike

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Having a gas pump is some handy and it sure saves a lot in spilt gas too. I hope this pump pays for it self that way!! Thanks for commenting and take 'er easy!!

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

You put it to the test. Looks like a good transfer option. Too bad the tall cans are not ideal.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I'm not sure if I should trade the Bronco and get a rig that the cans will work on or just get different cans. But I do know this pump is pretty nice! LOL Take 'er easy!!

[@SteveRobReviews]

The electric pump is slick . 👌

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? 10 -4 Steve. I like that it has the auto stop too. That to me is what makes this so good. Take 'er easy!!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

The pump will definitely save your back Mike, great purchase 👍🏻. Have a great weekend Mike and Nannie 👍🏻🙂🙋🏼‍♂️🇨🇦🍻

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Salut Luc!! Thanks. I hope you and Kathleen have a nice week end also. I like this pump. The auto stop is pretty nice. Take care!!

[@EverydayProjects]

Glad to see this video. These pumps can save a big mess and save fuel too (that I usually spill!). I always spill GAS even when I'm pouring DIESEL! Take care, Mike and best wishes to Nanny!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks for the well wishes for Nannie. I like the pump so far. But time will tell eh!! Take 'er easy!!

[@RossOnTheLand]

I'm going to get 2 of those pumps. One for my Kubota Diesel, and One for the Gas for the Zero Turn. And I'll have to add AA batteries to my everyday carry pocket items 😊 Have a great weekend Mike.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Ross. I was thinking of getting another pump for diesel too! I think they are pretty slick. I just hope the plastic hoses last! Take 'er easy!!

[@twinbrookacres]

The gas pump sure is nice. I might get one to fuel up my GC2610. It's always a battle to lift the gas can and pour the diesel fuel without spilling some. Thanks, Mike.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Exactly Rick. I am going to get another pump for diesel too. I am really pleased with this pump because there is no spillage anymore!! Thanks for tuning in. Take 'er easy!!

[@wendingourway]

A little embarrassed to say, but I'm a little "afraid" of gas, and especially the odor and getting on my hands...yikes!! But anyway, there used to be a time that I would drive way out of my way to avoid self-serve gas stations. Can't do that anymore, so I do pump my own now. lol The little "pumpy thingy"! lol You are one brave man to have your first run using actual gas and even right there on that nice clean shop floor! I'd be one to try with water and even have Otis running for cover with that going every which way!! LOL Hope good progress is continuing to be made in the healing process with Grannies hip. Have yourselves a fantastic weekend, but I do hear that there is some rain heading our way for Sunday.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I have no issues with getting gas on my hands. But I have to say I was a bit timid about using an electric motor to pump the flammable liquid. The pump is CE certified for flammable liquids so it should be safe, but 'should' kind of makes me wonder sometimes!! LOL Nannie is coming along. We're starting to see more forward steps lately than backward steps. Ya gotta like that eh!! Tell Otis I said "Woof Woof " and take 'er easy!!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Good morning Mike. Nice review / testing of the gas pump. I am not a big fan of those hoses but I imagine they can be replaced easily. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you and Janet!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Paul and thanks for your well wishes for Janet. I'm with you on those hoses. I have had too many of them dry out and crack. We'll see how it goes though! Take 'er easy!!

[@gatorsworld]

I realy like that pump. It may be in my future....CHEERS

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Gator. The auto stop is pretty sweet, but the plastic hoses I think are the weak spot. I have had many that dry up and crack and break. We'll see how this makes out though. Take care!!

[@stevoj8959]

Gas cans are always a pain. I usually take a couple of jugs of fuel with me when I go camping and that pump would make it a lot more fun. Good review Mike. Stevo

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I have used battery operated gas pumps before and they worked pretty good, but this one has the auto stop and to me that makes it worth the price!! Take care!!

[@russellbelliveau1694]

Nice pump , those cams are not too practical eh, I use a pump as well for diesel, I have a gravity fed one and battery they work great. Hope your weekend was good Mike take care

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks for the visit Russell. It has been a long time since I used a gas can without spilling about $5 worth of gas eh! LOL This pump sure helps in that regard! Take 'er easy!!

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Mike , I have a transfer pump almost like that one . I love it . Don’t store it where a chip monk or squirrel can get to the hose . One chewed my hose and ruined it and I had to get another one . The shut off works great . 👍🏻

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That's a great point Del and thanks for mentioning it. I do have a few squirrels in and around the camp, so I'll be sure to guard those hoses!! I think the auto stop is the best thing about this pump eh!! Take 'er easy!!

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Like the gas can…. I Have a couple of those and a few of the yellow diesel ones! The pump is Clever!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? The gas can is better than the ones I had but they don't work on the back of the Bronco. :-( Take 'er easy!!

[@carlrizzo6471]

A hitch extender, HF sells them, might move the carrier out far enough to get your gate open. Thanks for all your videos.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? So nice to read your comments. Thanks for watching and taking the time to respond. That's a great idea for a hitch extender. I'll have to check that out!! Thanks again and take 'er easy!!

[@BruceLyeg]

I have a similar one that I love. I've had it for a few years and it runs off 2 D cell batteries that I haven't had to change in over a year and it gets pretty regular use. It doesn't have the auto stop feature, that would be nice.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I have a wand type pump with the 'D' cell batteries too but when I saw this pump with the auto stop I thought it would be a better fit for what I needed. So far anyways, it's working good. Take care!!

[@DriveShaftDrew]

Hello there Drew!! Right on. If it doesn't do what you want out of the box, make it do what you want eh!! Take 'er easy!!

[@MissouriOldTimer]

yes those big gas cans are heavy, I have a couple of those transfer pumps but they are not as good as that one looks to be.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? You know what Vernon? I think this pump is pretty nice but I am a bit 'iffy' on the hoses. I have had plastic hoses like these before and they dried out and cracked and split. We'll see how this one makes out though. I'll keep ya posted!!! Thanks for the comment. Take 'er easy!!

[@keegantimber8571]

Good stuff Mike. Looking forward to your review of the pump in a few months time! Not surprised you’re not completely satisfied with the tall gas can….I have one and same issues. Also more tippy with a skinnier footprint. So much for government regulations and design engineers that cannot design a suitable leak and drip free gas can and nozzle. 👍👍👍

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Jim I wonder how much nicer everything would be if we had no government regulations!! But I can't say too much bad about regulations though as there are some folks out there with zero common sense!! Take care!!

[@donnarowden6071]

Interesting video on gas cans & pumps I don't think I will ever need one but if I do I'll go back to this video & I'll know exactly what to do with them. I like listening to you talk & explain exactly how things work. Good video Grampie & keep them coming cause I enjoy watching them. I'll keep my eye out for you on Friday. I really like the way you finished the drawers on your work bench or table.. they are certainly 'top drawer' so to speak. Love ya

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Awe gee Danna, you are so nice to post comments like this. It's not hard to tell you're my sister, and your cheque is in the mail!!!! LOL This little pump is going to pay for itself before the summer is over in savings from not spilling gas when I gas up the Estate car or the lawn tractor. It'll be some nice! Love ya!!

[@DIYVariety]

They work great no doubt mike

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? So far I think it's pretty nice. Time will tell. I am a bit concerned about pumping a flammable liquid with it to be honest. But it is CE approved for flammable liquids so it may not be an issue!! Take care!!

Hi Mike yes a warm week for us west of you as well - you did a very good test/review of the pump but I have to say I don’t like dealing with those hoses - in my mind, the shaker siphon is simple and perfect for me. Only $17 on amazon. Anyway thanks as always and have a wonderful weekend - cheers

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Thanks Ed. The shaker syphon is pretty fail safe that's for sure, but I didn't think you could pump uphill with it and I wanted this pump to fill the bulk tank I have on the back of the shop. That tank is about 6 feet off the ground. Thanks for tuning in. Take care and stay cool!!

[@tenlittleindians]

I like the pump but not the price. Harbor Freight currently has a fuel safe electric transfer pump for a tenth of the cost. Less than $8 dollars with their coupon. Less bells and whistles but much easier on my wallet and cheap to replace if the hose goes bad.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That's a great price. I wish we had Harbor Freight around here. The hoses going bad is a concern for me. If the hoses mess up, the pump is worthless. Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate your time. Take 'er easy!!

[@ronniehoward6601]

Man it is sure hot here in Oklahoma and supposed to continue to get hotter for the next few days. That pump looks like it will be really handy. Is there any way you can lower your carrier enough to make the rear hatch open? Maybe modify the carrier? I hope you and Nannie are doing well . Continued prayers for you both and I'll see you on the next one

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? It sure is hot all around the country eh Ronnie. Pretty steamy here the last few days!! In fact one spot in Nova Scotia was the hottest spot on the whole planet yesterday!! That's pretty hot. I like this pump and the auto stop is worth the cost alone!! We appreciate your continued prayers Ronnie. They mean a lot to both Janet and I! Take 'er easy!

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Hi Mike, handy little pump save a lot of lifting, just watch out for sparks from the power pack, best to Nannie 💐

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I was thinking of not only the sparks but the pump itself. It goes right in the gas. It says it's CE approved for hazardous liquids, but I'm still kind of 'spooked' about it. But so far it hasn't blown up the shop!! LOL Take care!!

[@catherinemacdonald8847]

Hi Mike really like that gas pump seems like a wise purchase. It seems like there is no such thin as the perfect gas can eh? Sending my love and prayers to you and Janet.

How's she goin'? Welcome to the channel!! Great to have you drop by and comment. I tend to agree with you about gas cans being a royal pain in the gluteus maximus. This pump seems to be pretty nice. I think the weak link is the hoses. I have had plastic hoses like this in the past and they dried up and split and cracked. I hope this doesn't happen on this pump!! Thanks a lot for watching and especially commenting. Take care!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Ever since they quit making/using metal "Jerry Cans" man has been in withdrawl as far as transfering fuel. Too tall, Too many different spouts , too many cans with no vent so our backs don't take on a too much hurting on our lower backs. I sure hope they are all listening/watching this post. I do my best to staying away from these plastic cans and have a 200 gal tank on a stand that the fella that missed you bulk delivery is supposed to keep you with gas year round. It can happen. You may need to ruffle some feathers to make it happen though. Every thing is gravity powered ans keeps any watter in the bottom of the tank. It is a simple thing to check for any watter. Easy enough to calculate the amount of fuel you will nead through the seasons. All in all this little pump does as well as advertised. Good one old friend. Looks like it will serve you well. I ? how it will work at our -30 tempsnthough. No matter who wants to do anything outside in those rude temps.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hello there Dean!! I have a bulk tank at the back of the shop. Well 'bulk' is not really a good name for it, it holds about 40 liters. But it is gravity feed and works good. I once tried to put a filter on it but the fuel wouldn't pass through the filter with just the force of gravity!! LOL I think this little pump will come in handy when I need to fill the storage tank. Before I had to lift the jerry can up on my shoulder and kind of hold my tongue just right to try and get the crazy flexi nozzle in the fill pipe and not splash the fuel all over me. Thanks for the comments old friend. Take 'er easy!!

Grampie, it's hotter than a scorching fire down here. It was in the 90's F which to me was very uncomfortable. If you remember, I was using a battery operated pump that I bought from Harbor Freight. I've gone through those pumps like pairs of socks. They work with two D batteries. I have several pumps. I have one for gasoline fuel, one for my diesel fuel, and a separate one for water. Thanks for showing the pump. Take good care of yourself and say hey to Nannie for me. 👍🏽🤠 06/21/24
