How close can you park to the dry stack? If close a small 12volt pump would take a few minutes, probably quicker than going to the fuel pontoon and waiting for Graham to come out of the office to man the pumps. 
Just check the pump is intrinsically safe. 

I already investigated this option but there don't seem to be any petrol-safe 12v pumps. Diesel, yes. But not petrol, unless you go professional and spend a few hundred. Even the cordless drill powered fluid pumps aren't safe for petrol.

Borrow my jiggle pump, do 20ltr then see!

Ummmm, so how do fuel injected cars pump the fuel up then? Loads of petrol safe 12v pumps out there

Jiggle pumps work well, I put 200l a time using them. I’ve got split tanks so use 2. 200l a time unless I’m in Milford, I just go to the pump…. But still use jiggle to top up after short trips 🙂 

Its quicker than you think, but hey it’s up to you. £0.40/l x 40l is £40. It maybe not worth it if you don’t get down often enough
