you can either do it gravity feed or you can go to a local parts store and pick up a 12v pump for less than $50

Yes you should. If it sets in the sun it has a very good chance of getting allergro in your tank. So put a good filter on it. I have one on my tank and was glad when the allergro showed up.I use a 12V farm pump it comes in handy if you need some fuel for somthing else.===Good luck

go to a store that carries a furnace oil filter set i work at a hardware store and sell them but i dont know of were else you would get them other than like ziggys or whoever sells oil furnace parts. you can get 12v pumps that are just inlie for like $50 or you can get an actual sliptank/ farm pump for about $300 that uses pipe fittings. come off your tank with pipe fittings to your filter then streight into your pump after that. most guys around here that do it put a 3" pipe nipple between the two to make the filter as close to the pump as posible

if you run a 12v pump it is a lil easier to fill it with red fuel...
