Carter 4070 as a Transfer Pump
I'm getting ready to plumb my 36 gallon transfer tank to this filler neck to this Diesel Install Kit for Auxiliary Diesel Fuel Tank — Fits Ford and Dodge Trucks, Model# 011025 | Auxiliary Fuel Tanks | Northern Tool + Equipment
I'm thinking of the Carter 4070. Any ideas on the pump, would you wire it straight to a battery (switched of course) and what amp in-line fuse?

I've had no issues with my Carter pump and it's been running for nearly two years now. I followed Guzzle's instructions when I installed my Carter pump and did exactly what you're thinking... wired straight to the battery with a 20-amp inline fuse. The only thing I did differently was to wire the power supply into a relay switch with a permissive off of the stock pump's power supply. That way, if anything happened which would kill the stock pump (like being in an accident), the lift pump would go down as well.

I understand that. I was simply saying that the correct inline fuse would be 20 amps (based on Guzzles instructions). I don't see an issue with using that pump as a transfer pump at all... won't be really fast, but it will ge tthe job done.
