"removes water"

Disperses it really well in the fuel so you can't see it.

Facet filters are go/no go. When the media catches water it swells and stops the flow. They’re the best.

I’d lose the rubber boot and expose what’s underneath. Probably an easy fix.

Where'd you get that handy red fuel nozzle cap? I've looked for them but haven't found a source yet.

You sir, are a diabolical evil genius and I, for one, salute you!

Put floats and an engine/prop on it and call it an airboat. Then it's fuel in the tank of an appliance, not storage. Just kidding, but that loophole might exist.

I put my multimeter on the switch that goes from the 120v outlet to the hose reel motor and it was 120 on the input out 70v on the output; I had to press the switch on real hard and hold pressure to get 70. It doesn’t have a positive “ON” detent. I guess that’s part of the problem there.

This is the switch for the hose reel, $275 for the part, yowza!

I got mine at the local fuel supply store called ACE supply in Anchorage. Not sure where they sourced them.

Consider installing the pump power switch inside the hangar.
