    Abstract: The present invention is a fuel transfer pump for use with standard portable containers of various sizes, shapes, manufacturers and configurations. The fuel transfer pump allows the user to fuel objects higher or lower than the portable container, quickly, without the need to lift the portable container. The core components of the invention are a wheeled framework (cart), clear flexible tubing, fill handle/nozzle (shut-off valve), double-action air pump with hose, and connector sleeve, which, generally speaking, are configured as follows: the connector sleeve attaches and seals the portable container outlet to the tubing, which extends down to the bottom of the container on one end and has the fill handle/nozzle (shut-off valve) at the other end; the sleeve also has a port to attach and seal to the air pump hose to enable pressurizing the container, inducing fuel flow.
