An on-board refueling system for vehicles. The refueling system includes a coil reel and a fuel pump. The coil reel has a forward end and a rearward end, a handle proximate the forward end, and a nozzle attached to the forward end. The nozzle is configured to engage a siphon hose. The fuel pump is configured to be interconnected between the rearward end of the coil reel and a fuel tank through a tee connector. A handle is attached proximate the forward end of the coil reel. The nozzle can be configured with a one way valve to prevent fuel from draining when the coil reel is not in use. A coil box can be provided for the coil reel. An on/off valve, such as a petcock valve, is interconnected between the connector tee and a carburetor. An on/off switch can be interconnected to the fuel pump to enable remote operation of the fuel pump.
