"Joe" wrote in : "RBM" wrote in message ... "James" wrote in message ... I need to transfer K1 kerosene from my delivery trailer to my tank 50 ft away. I have priced hoses made for fuels, and a 50 ft length is $200-300. Any reason why I cannot us a commercial grade, 3/4 inch hose like the one shown in this link ? This hose would be used **only** for this purpose, and would be used no more than two times a year. Any comments or advice would be welcome. Thank you. James http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...et/product_697 0_ 20 0218424_200218424 I'm sure it's not the proper thing to use. The fuel probably deteriorates the hose material. There's probably 20 federal laws prohibiting it's use, but I've been dumping about 500 gallons of heating oil from an above ground tank to an underground tank each year for about five years now, using a cheap garden hose and a gear pump. I just make sure to keep a close eye out for problems while the transfer is going on I'm just curious: what kind of 'problems' do you keep an eye out for that you can actually solve after you visually note them happening? jc City inspectors maybe. If you need to look over your shoulder in fear of an inspector checking the type of hose you're using, it time to move I meant the fact of private citizen pumping oil into the ground...tank or not. Private citizen pumping privately owned oil from one privately owned tank to another privately owned tank on private property...privately, just to clarify Well in some Granola-head states, when it comes to anything to do with oil and the ground there is no such thing as "privately". I hear you just fine. The whole country is becoming a nanny state. Neighbour of mine had an oil leak recently and lost the contents of their heating oil tank into the ground. The clean up operation has taken a two weeks so far and is costing them a small fortune not to mention the fine. Why would they be "fined" for having the misfortune of a fuel tank leak? |
