I see several pump ads, but most are not compatible with Methanol. Does anyone have experience? Larry Woodfin | ||

I really don’t think there is no difference but go on Amazon and order the BLACK TOP one it’s for methanol… | |||

It does need to be Methanol rated; otherwise, over time, it will deteriorate. Larry Woodfin | |||

We have used the cheapo Harbor Freight ones and they work just fine. One time I was there they were on sale for 17 bucks so I threw 5-6 in my cart for myself and Dad. All are still in operation as far as I know. Methanol and gasoline. | |||

DRR Top Comp |
The Tera pump works great, red top for gas and diesel. Black top for alcohol. I think I got 2 full seasons on one and it died, cheap enough I bought a few more. I use them in my shop and in my trailer. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion | |||

Some of my friends have had one of these and I just got one: https://www.amazon.com/TERA-PU...harge/dp/B088YNN4J1/ Like it so far. The link above is the methanol version, there is also a gas version that has a red top. | |||

183N, that is the one I plan to buy. Looks like a reasonable tool. At age 78, I need all the mechanical lifting help I can get. The main benefit I see is better control with not overfilling or spilling. Larry Woodfin | |||

I bought a Mr. Gasket pump 3 years ago and it's still going strong, I run methanol exclusively. | |||

Is this the one you used? https://www.harborfreight.com/...sfer-pump-63847.html I was looking at adapting one of these to a fuel jug, no batteries required. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD...lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 | |||

After you turn the pump off, does fuel remain in the hose or will it drain back into the jug if hose held upright?? Does anything seal the hose end when not in use? | |||

Fuel will drain back if the hose is held upright. The battery housing/switch has a spot to insert hose end, it's not totally sealed. 2BKING has (2) Tera pumps, one for race fuel & another for generator fuel.   1980 Camaro Taking the Best Working Small Tire Shyt Box & making it Greater Than Before! 3000 lbs.

I have 2 Tera pumps, one red top for gas and the other black top for Methanol. The methanol pump has always been slower than the gas pump for some reason. Maybe I am just being paranoid but I always remove the batteries when the fuel jugs are being transported in the trailer for fear the pump may turn on for some reason and pump fuel out in the trailer | |||

Love my Tera pump I take it out of jug completely and put regular cap on for transport | |||
|
| DRR S/Pro |
My reasoning for leaving it in the jug was so the pump seal does not dry out, especially on the methanal pump. | |||
