Would you kindly post a link?

The other EAA/CAFE link is dead.

Try GOOGLING: "CAFE Foundation" for their web site. Then "CAFE Reports", then "Fuel Handling Safety".

The EAA article was in their magazine. I have not been able to find it on line.

This link works for me https://cafe.foundation/v2/pdf_cafe_...g%20Safety.pdf

Also I made my grounding wire out of close line wire and put two spring clamps on it.

The Cafe foundation link did not work directly for me either. I found the article another way. For those that can't get the link to work I put the .pdf on my google drive with a link below. Hope that helps.

I added 90 degree PVC fitting (3/4NPT x 1? Barb) to top of each 5-gallon Racing Jug so they will fit within the height of my car and also facilitate pouring into 15-gallon FLO-FAST container.

I mounted the 15-gallon FLO-FAST container on a two-wheel hand-cart using a ratchet strap to hold it in place. Then I added a metal bracket to support the hand-crank pump to keep it from rotating when turning the handle. Back of pump is fastened to the bracket with double-sided foam tape. Works a charm...

Then I added a filler port to the 15-gallon FLO-FAST container so I don?t have to remove the pump when adding fuel. I bought a Boat Deck Fill Tank Fuel Flange on eBay and installed it above the 15-gallon fill line using Pro-Seal fuel tank sealant.

Next, I?m going to add an electronic counter ($12 Amazon) to count pump handle rotations so I can correlate # turns/gallon.

In some states, it is against the law to carry gasoline cans inside of a vehicle.

Never heard of that. How would you haul gas for your lawnmower?

I use an "Aluminum Hitch Cargo Carrier" to haul gasoline. It attaches to the
trailer hitch on my Ford Escape. No gasoline smell inside of vehicle.

Hey Jim,
The flat metal brace you put behind the pump, and secured to the cart, is it lite steel or aluminum? If you bought the piece somewhere let me know please. If you cut it out from larger stock that’s good to know to.

I’m looking at some of my scrap at home and at the hangar but not finding a piece like seen in your photo. Thanks
