I purchased this for removing fuel from a 55 gal drum. It does a great job. Also can fill up a 5 gal. Container very fast.

This is the third one of these pumps I have purchased. We use it to pump Methanol Racing fuel from a 55 gal drum for our race cars. They are very durable to hold up to this type fuel. I will be buying again for sure. Great product.

Seems like an adequate product. But there isn't a gasket. It seems wrong to sell a product for use with fuel and it doesn't include a gasket. Also, the threads are unnecessarily long so it takes more time to screw it down completely than it could. The threads on the barrel are maybe a half an inch deep and the threads on the unit are an inch and a half so at least twice as deep as necessary. Not a big deal but ill thought out.

This was just what I was looking for by the garden for the rain collection barrels. Very easy to use and the water flows out great. Be sure to let out the pressure cause if the hose slips from the holder you will have an empty barrel!

The hand pump that starts the siphon requires some strength. It has to be pumped at a high enough rate that the siphon fills up and starts. It's possible to pump too slowly so that the siphon does not start, but even then the device is pumping fluid. The siphon hose has enough volume that one has to learn when to open the valve and stop the siphon action or there may be overflow. Working the valve also requires some attention, checking that it is fully closed, opening it quickly enough. I'm a big fan of classic devices that don't use batteries, and this is a good one.

I bought this to replace an almost exactly similar pump I bought over a decade ago to go with my emergency water barrels (here in earthquake prone California). The old pump stopped siphoning properly after 12 years because of UV disintegration of the plastic which made it leak air. I suspect the new one is no more UV resistant than the old one, so will not store it in sunlight as I did the old one, which was stored indoors but next to a garage window where it received some direct sun. I only use this pump once every year to empty the barrels to refill them with fresh water, otherwise it's purely for that hypothetical emergency, so it's perfect for that, so long as it lasts. Don't expect a light plastic pump like this to last forever in any case, or to hold up long under frequent use, but it's a good inexpensive solution for my emergency drinking water supply even if I have to replace it every decade or so.

Wow. Just received this. I sent a different one back this week, it wasn't engineered well. This one is better designed and built.CAP: Works well, and doesn't want to strip with moderate pressure (other pump felt like someone had used it already, and overtightened it) Also, the new pump had a "stop" so the cap wouldn't unscrew completely. (Like I want to crawl around in my basement looking for this very crucial piece)PUMP: Working stroke feels positive, with stops at both ends of pull strokes. Bellows are enclosed by red plastic and works on "push down" stroke. The other pump bellows were visible and worked on "pull up" stroke and felt like bellows would pull apart if pulled on too hard and overextended the bellows.MOUNTING THREADS: These threads are properly pitched. Only able to hand tighten 1 1/2 turns onto barrel bung hole, plenty of threads left. *note*~ It's easy to cross thread the barrel bung threads which are softer plastic than the pump threads. I repaired minor "mushing" or first couple bung threads simply by reinstalling barrel bung cap, and snugging up, loosening, snugging up. Threads repaired. but weren't really damaged, and were not the pump's fault. I wish there was a wrench for this, but not a big deal. The other pump threads mismatched my bung slightly.DISCHARGE HOSE RETAINER: It works. You can push the whole corrugated hose through this. The other pump would only allow the smooth 2" end of hose through the hose retainer hole. The larger diameter corrugated section wouldn't pass through. So, the hose fell out, dangling near my basement floor.PUMP ACTION: It maintained siphon action after initial priming strokes (maybe 3-6 strokes). The other pump wouldn't maintain siphon.I am happy that for the same price, I got a superior pump to the other one. THANK YOU. Your mileage may vary.
