will this work on a low pressure gasoline for a few seconds at a time? (primer)

This thing is made of nylon. It's heavy duty but NOT to be used with gasoline. Use stainless steel with viton gasket. I think u.s. solid has them.

It works ok on gas engines, but the oil must be hot. Not much oil left behind. Not recomended for Diesel engines or boat stern drives.

No! Its not meant for fuel to run through it. Like others have said it will read poorly at the lower pressures normal vehicles run at. I actually had an Oriley employee suggest doing the same on my F350 diesel. Lets just say I bought a tester there, had him do it and promptly refund my money as it didnt work as he thought ;-)

I think it depends on whether you have it down in the mixture or not. I would think it likely that it could hesitate when you have it in the mixture, but if you hold it up in the air (just to test it) I would expect it to start pretty much right away.

It works fine with my small engine where I had a drip from the gasoline fuel bowl. It should be fine for a thermostat, check the Permatex web site for specs and useful information.

Yes it is , press primer bulb few times, set lever to full choke then pull to start until it wants to start( no more then 5 times) , set to half choke pull to start it will run , let it run about 30 seconds to a minutes set lever to run , my opinion if you go through these steps and it still won't start - replace spark plug , good luck !

It should pump gasoline well but I CANNOT recommend it. This pump uses an electric drill for power and electric drills produce sparks. Just look through the ventilation slits in the drill housing while the drill is running and you can see them easily. Fumes could be drawn into the drill and the results could be devastating! I would certainly NOT use it for gasoline.

Yes, it will tell you the pressure. Just like using one at the gas station.

I turn on the gas and wait about 5 to. 7 seconds before I try the ignighter and that works pretty good for me. Make sure you keep your face away from the top opening. If that does not help I would make sure the ignightrr is in the proper position.

mine doesn't have a primer but a has two barbs one for gas inlet and one for pressure relief. also a fixed gas valve in the carb gas reservoir . some have variable.

Yes it will self prime and almost instantly...and yes it should work fine for transferring a small amount of fuel...like 5 gallons. (it may take a few minutes) You will probably want to mount it to something solid, because it does have some vibration to it. I think it will pump up to 6 feet...but don't quote me on that. : )

Warm up engine oil, yes works in dip stick hole, takes about 5 mins work well. JS

I would think so. Test a small spot first, but let the product sit long enough to do its thing

Yes definitely. What's nice is that you can vary the speed of the pump (and set that in the programming) for the perfect gpm to make the pop-ups work most efficiently. Most floor systems (i.e. Caretaker) only require 12-15 psi on the gauge to work correctly. Don't use too much pressure on the floor system. Consult the owners manual for correct/optimum pressure. Another big plus is that the floor system on needs to work for a couple hours (unless your pool is a leaf pit! lol). So you can run the higher speed for the floor system for say 2 hours then set another program for say 8 hours at a very low (and energy saving) speed of roughly 1000rpm (better than 3450 rpm on standard motors!). Hope this helps!!

I wouldn't. Two reasons: One, this pump moves a small volume of fluid. Good for bleeding brakes but moving gallons would take a long time and you would have to empty the small container many times. Two, the tubing and container are all plastic and I'm not sure if they would react with gasoline or not. Plus, there would be a lot of combustible fumes escaping. Could be dangerous. Modern gas doesn't last long without stabilizers in it, so if it has been in the car long, it isn't worth recovering. If you have to, marine supply stores have rubber bulbs for priming fuel lines. They can be used to safely start a fuel siphon.

I have in past. The key is to get the stuff in and start driving right away to spread the sealant inside the tire. I wanted to be sure to have enough pressure rather than not enough in a pinch. I can always reduce the pressure later. My tires go up to 42 so after a few minutes of conservative driving I check the pressure. I wouldn't try it on an already questionable tire, of course, such as a sidewall puncture. I've used this stuff on mower and wheel barrow tires also but I use the smaller size, in those cases, of course. I also have a mobile air pump that runs off my battery. Well worth it and if you have any worries about using the truck inflator version, you can always fall back on the air pump after using the smaller one, if necessary. Get a decent quality pump. It's great and they are relatively small too. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, but I know this is for a fuel injected engine. A carburetted engine will run at a much lower pressure. My guess is that it won't
