Heres the Harbor Freight pump in use. $10 and some D cell batteries and your good to go!

It leaves a half gallon or so in the gas can, then just finish pouring it in.

If handled with care, how well do you think those would hold up in sub-zero temps?

I can't say, I've had it for a year or 2 but never had to use it when it was really cold. Watch for a sale at HF and buy 2 or 3 so you have an extra on hand.

Closest HF to me is more than 3 hours away, so was looking at the TERA PUMP TRHA03 on Amazon. I prefer AA batteries to D, so that works in my favor.

I have a plow truck that (normally) never goes to town (45+ minutes each way). Would be nice if the wife could also add gas if she needs to. This past winter we used just over 1/2 a tank, so no more gas needed. That was a nice change!

kcm.MN, I went thru two of them pumps already this winter. They quite working with new batteries, so I don't know if it was the gas, diesel fuel or the cold. I still did not like lifting the 5 gallon cans to the top of the hood to pump. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have one no gas on hood of tractor my John Deere 60 is said to be never repainted.
I have a 630 going to look at a 620

I've been trying to figure a good area to make a lift platform -- something so one could use a hand hoist to raise the gas can to desired height and let that do the lifting. ...Maybe should make something more portable rather than being fixed to a single spot.

Gravity always works, and the batteries never go dead. :wink:

...Maybe make it so that it fits in the stake pocket of a truck! Hmm...that should work well.

At 10 bucks it doesn't matter - buy 5 at a time and just pitch them when they quit. I used to do that with their angle grinders and it was generally a cost effective scheme.

I have one of those and they work great. The hose kept coming off the pump so I put a zip tie on it as a cable clamp and that was that. I run gasoline in my boat and 91 octane is sold in a town about 25 miles away. So when that way, I buy a 6 gallon tank or two and when I get home, transfer it. To fill it directly from a 5 gallon can is a PIA for several reasons.

I have a neighbor with a 2016 JD 4052 and some designer decided that the place to put the diesel fuel filler was up on top of the rear fender......Neat design from Mother Deere. This helps them take care of this chore somewhat easier and without spillage, since they too use 5 gallon containers (due to low usage requirements...no electric pump and hose) and have to use a step ladder to get up high enough to fill the tank.....and otherwise spill diesel all over everything.
