Looking for a reversible fuel transfer pump

Geez, I just read your original message and saw you had been to
reversopumps.com already. Had you seen that valve already?

Ya, that's another option. I doubt it'd be CHEAPER or LIGHTER than a
reversing pump, but if I can't find a reversing pump then such a valve
may be my ONLY option. So OK, I'll bite:

Where can I get a quality valve that supports swapping of inputs and
outputs, and will handle gasoline?

I actually had this drawn up long ago with a standard 4-way valve (such
as used with fuel-injection), a pair of one-way check valves, and lots
of interconnects. It seemed to be overly complicated. I can't find
that sketch now, tho' I'm sure I can recreate it with a little thought.

If there's a purpose-made valve for this, that would be GREAT.

Thanks,
Greg

Yup, I'd been to reversopumps.com early in my quest, and subsequently
contacted them as to whether gasoline was supported. They responded
quite quickly: Nope. (Actually, it says this in their FAQ section too.
But diesel would be OK.)

Meanwhile, I re-drew the "plumbing circuit" using a single
non-reversible pump and a duplex valve (e.g. an FS22-D2). It's not all
that complicated ... but the valves is very $expensive. And I'd really
like to be able to do this electrically rather than mechanically.

So I've also been researching solenoid-actuated valves, and have put in
some inquiries to several of the manufacturers as to their suitability
for gasoline. I can obviously do it with a set of four 2-way solenoid
valves, or with a pair of 3-way valves and a 2-way.

But the #1 choice would still be a reversible pump for gasoline ...
along with an on-off 2-way solenoid in series if necessary.

Thanks,
Greg

IMHO, a setup like you describe has too many possible points of failure.
Better off with the mechanical valve, for reliability.
