Why ?

----------------------

It's interesting to contemplate why someone would even ask this question.

Usually you just call someone and they show up with a tank truck with a
pump and a hose on a hose reel all designed to dispense liquid fuels
into your tank.

Then you have to pay for delivery. It's cheaper to go get it yourself.

George, you haven't seen where this mountain property is located. If you
did, you would seek to cancel your message. Otherwise, it would make sense.
Fuel trucks don't go up there, not for a million dollars.

I have been following this thread and would like to wade in.
I had been working with equipment proffesionally installed, with rubber
hoses approved for the fluid in use, when after the years the hoses broke
down shedding pieces. In this case the chunks destroyed about a million
dolars of calibration equipment. Amazin how hard it is to find about a
hundred small rubber chunks in a room size machine.
I would suggest checking the hose before and after use, and soaking then
scraping some small section to make sure than it is still sound.
So do you have a mechanical filter in place in the line? I will assume a jet
clog of other clog will not be trivial to fix.
