12- Volt Fuel Pump Used To Pump Diesel Fuel Directly Into Kubota Tractor TRACTORS Maintenance 45 Phil Tilley Aragon Ga : “I bought a 12-volt fuel pump for just $29 from Advance Auto Parts and use it to pump diesel fuel directly into my Kubota 4-WD tractor It’s handy and easy to use ” says Phil Tilley Aragon Georgia noting that you can buy similar inexpensive pumps at Amazon com Northerntool com or Harbor Freight The pump mounts on a metal bracket fastened to a post in Tilley’s machine shed He plugs the pump into a portable 12-volt “jump box” then places one end of the pump’s hose into a 55-gal barrel and the other end into the tractor’s fuel tank and turns the pump on “It doesn’t work fast but it’s reliable and inexpensive ” says Tilley “If the jump box isn’t available I can always hook the pump up to my tractor’s battery ” He had been using a hand-cranked pump to deliver diesel out of the barrel and into a 5-gal fuel can which he then used to fill the tractor “The hand-cranked pump wasn’t nearly as handy to use Also I’m getting older and lifting a 5-gal can of diesel 4 ft high and then pouring it is hard work Now I just plug the 12-volt pump into the jump box and turn it on ” says Tilley
