Best Fuel Transfer Pumps Under $500

The best value 12V pump for a pickup tank: UL listed, gasoline approved and backed for life, for less than a Fill-Rite FR1210H at most stores.

The default pick for a truck bed or farm tank that needs gasoline approval. Fifteen gallons a minute fills most equipment fast enough, and it is the cheapest UL listed Fill-Rite kit.

Tempting on price, but only for diesel and only for light use. Anyone moving gasoline should pay for a UL listed pump.

For small tanks feeding mowers, ATVs and generators where gasoline approval matters more than speed. For big equipment, step up to a 15 or 20 GPM pump.

For small gasoline jobs like mowers, side by sides and generators. It costs only $85 less than the much faster M-150S, so most buyers should step up.

A portable diesel pump for barrels and small tanks on a budget. Buy a bung-mount UL listed pump instead if you ever need to move gasoline.

A cheap diesel pump for occasional use from barrels. The missing safety listing and warranty make a GPI or Fill-Rite the better buy for regular use.

The budget pick for a fixed gasoline or diesel tank on mains power. Step up to the FR700V if you fill big equipment often.

A bare bones diesel pump for a shop that already has hose and nozzle. For gasoline or daily use, buy a listed pump.

A lot of kit for the money, best kept to diesel. The missing safety listing and warranty rule it out for gasoline.
