GasTapper Fuel Transfer Pump - Gas Siphon Pro Pump for Gasoline, Oil, Diesel, Water, Liquid, Fluid w/ 9 Ft Hose - Portable Hand Gas Pump Includes Brass Tip Weight and Pinch Clip - 3.5 Gls/Min

$28.99 seemed like a lot for this, but once I used it. Worth every penny

Works above and beyond expectations. Getting another for my bug out kit.

I think the product is well made and works as designed.But OMG do not try to siphon gas out of a car using the self-starting valve tip!! Ask me how I know... it got snagged on the way back up and pulled loose from the vinyl tube (which attaches with a simple friction fit over a small barb). The valve tip (a copper tube with a glass ball and a spring) fell back down the gas filler pipe -- unfortunately not all the way to the tank. So then the gas filler had a one-way valve pointed in the wrong direction! Near inability to refuel the car. It would accept gas only at the absolute slowest ability of a gas pump handle (and even then it would back up and shut off a bunch of times).Couldn't get it out with magnets or a long grabber tool. I finally got it out by making a wire tool with opposing hooks, jamming it down hard with the aid of a cheap borescope, and snagging the copper fitting. See pics if you make the same mistake I did!! facepalm

A siphon is a siphon and all siphons obey the same laws of physics that make them work. But some are more equal than others, and this one is the greatest among all the equals. It is very well made from premium materials manufactured in the USA, but it is the many accessories that come with this unit that provide it with many functions not available in other units.The hose is ⅝” clear heavyweight vinyl made in the USA. Some other units also have ⅝” hose, but not many. If the hose is too small and/or too light weight to keep from crimping the siphon just won’t work.This unit, like some others, is provided with a bulb hand pump to begin the siphon action, or to use as a complete hand pump when using as a vacuum isn’t possible. The differences are that this is the largest squeeze hand pump I have ever seen with the largest flow rate I have seen.The bulb hand pump allows connection and disconnection from the hose by just hand pressure - no clamps. This is handy in many situations - some are listed below.The hand pump has a one way valve that prevents fluid from returning to its source once it has entered this hose. More on this later.The unit hose is equipped with a “Jigger Foot” that allows creating the siphon action by just “jiggering” the source hose up and down to fill the source hose with fluid. This solution by itself is provided by some others, but my experience with them has not been good. This “Jigger Foot” is also a one way valve, and its importance will be described later.The unit provides accessories to secure the source hose in its container, coiled wire to prevent crimping as the source hose leaves the source container, a stabilizing tool to stabilize the hose in the target container.Unlike other units, a manual shutoff valve is provided. This has enormous possibilities, some of which will be discussed.Last of all, the unit comes with a coupling for the hose in case you want to cut the hose in sections and later rejoin the hose.When you combine all of these features you are provided with a system that is limited only by your imagination.Bulb Connect/DisconnectThe bulb pump is attached to the hose by friction. This allows using it as best suits the situation. Install it to use the hand pump. Remove it to increase the flow in vacuum mode.Hand Pump and Jigger Foot One Way ValveThese valves mean that any fluid pumped into the hose will not return to the source by gravity. That means that you can stop the flow and not need to reprime the system when you want to start it again.Manual Shutoff ValveA manual shut off valve is provided. That means you can stop the flow when desired and start it again when desired.This is a superior system and is worth your consideration.There’s more, but I’m tired of writing.

This syphon is absolutely the best! I’m using it for a fountain and it’s perfect. I have tried others and this one is the winner. It’s easy and most important it works.

The suction on this is good. The hose diameter is big enough that it will drain a 5 gallon can in about 3-4 minutes. After having purchased and used two of these (about 2 years each), and used each one nearly weekly, I have three complaints. The first has to do with the suction bulb. In order to get good (fast) flow, you must remove the bulb from the hose. If you leave it on, it will take 5-10 minutes to drain a 5 gallon can. These numbers represent keeping the source higher than the receptacle. The system does not work well at all if the source is lower than the receptacle. The second is the "spring" clip. It does not stop all flow when you clamp it closed. So when you go to remove the suction bulb from the hose to improve flow, the fluid continues to pour out. If it's gas or diesel, this can be a problem for hands, clothes, vehicles and driveways! Lastly, the PVC tubing will harden and stiffen after 18 months. By two years, the hose is unusable. The price is too high for the durability.

Works like a charm. I had to reorder it because it was missing a part the first time I got it. But, the return process worked great and I had another one on my doorstep a few days later. I was in a Hurricane Milton affected area and I needed this siphon to remove the fuel out of my two backup generators once my power came back up. Also helped my elderly neighbor to do the same. I may get a second as a backup. This kit has the bare essentials, plus the flow stop valve, plus the holder to keep it in place. The weighted end definitely helps to keep it at the bottom of the tank. Easy to operate. Plus the shutoff valve makes it easier to do the job safer and while minimizing fuel loss. Plus this setup eliminates the worry of swallowing fuel. The pump itself is easy to operate and works great. For those with health concerns, it is definitely a safer option. Probably not a bad idea to keep one at home and one in the car in case of disaster scenarios.

This is very handy for pulling old gas out of motorcycles,lawn mowers etc.Works great and the price is right.I just run some water through it when I am done and the thing keeps on going.
