Fuel transfer pump question

I was looking for a fuel transfer pump to fill gasoline tanks on my tractors. Know a guy that has a used one. I've seen some that are for diesel fuel, kerosene, or light oils. Can these be used for gasoline? It is a 110 volt unit.

If its a Tuthill youll be ok. They have carbon vanes and will pump anything without damage. And theyre explosion proof.

A pump has to be rated for flammable materials to be used with gasoline.
Most are only rated for combustible materials IE Diesel.
The hose for gasoline is also differant.
It has a wire running down the hose to the nozzle.

The difference is one setup prevents static electricity and the other does not.
And just pouring gasoline into an ungrounded plastic bucket is enough to cause a static spark and start a fire.

It's a good thing I don't hang around with some of the guys on here. I should have burned ,blown or destroyed myself somehow 50 years ago with the worrywarts on here. Pouring gas into an ungrounded can. I'v been pouring gas into more plastic jugs and lawnmowers on the wheels with no ground wire connected to any of them. I even fill them in a pickup. Just don't do it at a gas station. Fill them at home off the tank. The pump will be fine for your use.

I'm with Caterpillar Guy, I should have burned up 50 years ago. I still have but haven't used it in years, a 110 gallon, 2 compartment fuel tank to haul fuel in the pickup, gas or diesel with hand pumps. Filled plastic cans on the tailgate, spilled some. I'm lucky to be alive!!!

I would check with your local farm fuel supplier. They will likely at least be able to tell you what your suppose to have and what will work. If they are following safety regulations, they might not even fill your stuff up such as a transfer tank, if its not right.
Our local fuel suppliers here keep tanks, hoses, pumps, and stuff on hand. Just kind of goes with the territory of selling fuel. Thier customers need this stuff, and its not really stocked anywhere else around. A new customer maybe wanting fuel, and don't even have tanks. So, if fuel suppliers don't dabble in related equipment, in a nut shell, it basically costs them some business.

The gpi pumps are rated for diesel only, while the filrite pumps seem to be rated for both gas and diesel. Please verify this as its your safety.

And this is the main problem with gasoline.
We use it every day and very few have problems.
That does not mean the potential for a problem does not exist.
And listening to those that have skated by avoiding problems sets you up for disaster.

I have seen with my own eyes a plastic bucket of gasoline catch on fire from static electricity.
I do not have pictures to prove my point but you can find many examples of static electricity on the net.
Just looking at pictures of some of the farm fuel tanks some of these guys post here is enough to make you cringe looking at all the potential problems just waiting for the right moment to become a disaster.
Best part is when a disaster does happen; its a little late to say I should have done that differant.

But to each their own.
Do not really care how any of you do things in the long run as I can sleep well tonight knowing I warned you and may even get the chance to say 'I told you so' tomorrow.

I will leave you with this final note.
How many of you have put gas in your car??
I would assume all of you and thousands of times.
So it must be real safe.
Look at the video and see how safe it really is.
Static electricity

A lot of what was mentioned is what I was wondering about. Hard to verify what it was originally designed for in buying a used one. Sometimes you get one chance and only one chance. Most pumps I have seen in the stores were for diesel or light oils, which is why I wondered about them. I just have a couple of tractors I'm putting cabs on and it wont work well for using cans. I don't fill them up often but I might have to go with a small overhead tank somehow.
Thank you for the replies.

That is NOT correct! GPI makes pumps that are rated for both Gasoline and Diesel!
