That's a high volume low pressure pump. Joe

It pumps 7 liters per minute...you neck that down to an 1/8" output and it would work great.

Are fuel pumps for cars small? I would think a windshield washer pump would be good. Can't see why you need more pressure?


What about fuel transfer pumps for large Rc planes?

Paul, how about a pump for a tile saw or aquarium? Are they offered in 12v?

The ones I have found are like 3x3 I need smaller than that..

Go dumpster diving and find a "swifter wet jet " floor cleaner. they have a 6 V pump in them. The inlet is only .050 but they pump like mad.

I saw a photo of one that the person made a new inlet base for one and he used a bigger inlet. It looked good.

They make washer pumps about the size of a c cell battery. Now to get one smaller than that your probly not going to get much of a pump.

Awhile back I purchased a couple computor cooling pumps,& one of them had 3/8s hose fittings. I couldn't believe the water this little guy moved. If you take one of them & nozzle it down,might just do the trick! There 12v & about the size of a silver dollor by 3/4" thick. I posted pics of it on the garden back when you did the last firetruck.
Let me know & I'll find the info for you.

3/8 will be to big but I could size it down to the 1/8 inch..

Get one of the 6v/12v fuel pumps. I bought one and tested it, and when ya get down to the nozzle, it sends a nasty long spray even at 6v. I canna remember the brand at the mo, but the casing was yellow and a long rectangle. Ran about $10.

If ya want, I'll try to dig her out, and if it helps, see if I can get some video of the wee beastie sending out a stream. I'll even open the casing to let ya see how she could be miniaturised.

I wish I could lay my hands on the ones Robbe used to send out with their Water monitors... it was a wee unit, barely bigger than 540 motor, and was a gearpump, but it is ~nice~. I'd buy a dozen if I could find a hoarde. It was initially made by Thunder Tiger, but they have no records of it, and Robbe is out. I can post a pic of her as well, and video too.

My car has a really small washer pump, about 2inces long and as big around as a quarter. My high volume fuel pump is tiny also. It's larger then the washer pump, but flows like crazy 255 lph

Scott you are right it would boost the pressure a lot this is a good idea.

Nick if I could find a pump that size it would work and then use vacuum line fittings the 1/8 inch ones and nitro fuel line.. I have not found one as small as you are saying can you give me a some info on what or where to get it??

If anyone has a a certain one in mind please post a link or some info part numbers ect....
