gravity fed mixed fuel tank
What happens here
A gravity-fed dispensing system is installed at the bottom of the drum. This system includes a robust fuel hose connected to an appropriate outlet fitting on the drum. The hose terminates with a standard fuel pump nozzle, similar to those found at commercial gas stations. This setup allows users to easily fill up gas cans with mixed gas directly from the station by gravity, without the need for an external pump.
Goal: Enable easy and safe dispensing of fuel from the drum.
Tools and materials
- Fuel Hose — Transferring fuel from the drum to gas cans
- Fuel Pump Nozzle — Controlling the flow of fuel during dispensing
- Pipe Fittings — Connecting the hose to the drum
- Wrenches — Tightening all plumbing connections
- Fuel-rated Thread Sealant Permatex — Ensuring leak-proof connections for fuel lines
