Dave:

I have a groco SP-80 vane pump that pumps 2 60 gallon aux tanks into my main. Works great - not rubber impeller to break up. Pumps7 or 8 gallons / minute. I don't use it that much but when i do it works great - pumps out the aux tanks quickly and reliably. One warning though, these pumps are not made to suck fuel as much as pump - you need to mount these as low as possible relative to the tank. If you need to mount the pump much higher than the tank, then a flexible impeller pump might be better - just be sure to get a fuel resistant rubber impeller.
