Looking at one of them little battery powered transfer pumps that you set on a gas can, put your Milwaukee battery on and it pumps to the vehicle. Anyone have such a device, and which brand?
Need to use one that is Milwaukee compatible as that is my tool box. Not wanting one that needs Dewalt, or a bunch of double AA's

Thanks,

I don't have a Milwaukee brand. I purchased one from Menards just for my Skidsteer and now I wonder how did I go so long without one. Mine take two D batteries and I'm still on the same batteries a year latter. I fill my riding mower, 4 wheelers everything with it. No matter which one you get you will like how easy it is and no spillage.

I have this one. I like it for most part but a lot of newer gas cans suck ass and the tube doesn't fit through the opening.

I have one from Menards that runs on D cell batteries. Those are rechargeable and keep the charger in the camper for my boat and gas cans. That works OK, but doesn't have much lift to it.

I've been wondering about something like this:

That's what I have to fill my 5020 JD from 6 gallon jugs , It takes less than 30 seconds to suck a jug dry, you learn to hold on to the discharge hose when filling.

Im thinking I should get something similar. would be a lot easier than using 5 gallon tanks for filling my atv and mowers etc... Could just use a 50 gallon steel tank to store gas in probably.

I bought a couple of the 35 gallon vevor tanks to use at my place. They work great for filling stuff up rather than having to have full gas cans laying around and drying to fill stuff without spilling. The only issue with them is filling them. I used to load them on a trailer and fill. Now I just top them off every so often with 5 gallon cans. I know it kind of defeats the purpose but filling them is easier than equipment and I have put the easy pour Hi Flo nozzles and vent kits on the cans i use and i can empty 5 gallons pretty quick into those tanks. I like having a decent supply of gas and diesel around. Usually with the gas it's all premium and i try to empty it once a year and refill with fresh stuff. The diesel i run #2 in during the summer and then fill halfway with #1 for the winter and add some Howes to it.

Note the specs don't include petroleum products. I would be careful in choosing a transfer pump on this topic.
Specifically use a brushless drill, could be a sonofabitch otherwise.
I see ads on the facebook all the time with these handy transfer pumps using a Milwaukee or DeWalt battery. Was more so looking for if anyone has used one of these, or is it a scam.

Yeah, they aren't a scam, but there are a large number of different manufacturers of similarly styled transfer pumps. Those that aren't listed as compatible with gasoline may not be a good idea for two reasons, first and foremost the fire safety, but also if that pump was designed to transfer aquarium water...it may not be made of petroleum resistant plastics.

Mechanic friend of mine carries one in his SnoBear to pull water out of an ice hole for his minnows. It worked pretty slick.
