Can the pump be used for GASOLINE ?

It clearly states in the manual that it is not to be used with gasoline because there is not enough oil in gas to lubricate the pump. I only pumped diesel. I have no idea what would happen if I tried to pump gasoline.

No this pump is not designed for gasoline. It may damage the pump and/or cause an explosion.

I would say yes, but be aware of the operating amps of the pump. Other than that it should work.

I don't know for sure has I have never tried it for this purpose. I will say that this would probably NOT be the best apparatus to use for this, as this device did cause a certain amount of water to spill out while it was being pumped. This is no big deal for water ... probably would be for gasoline.

No. This is a large electric pump. Oil pumps are small mechanical. This pump is for transfer of large amounts. Also try an oil cooler and fan.

Yes it is possible, with the right reduction couplings and or adaptors, but it was meant for a larger volume discharge. This would defeat the purpose of having a high flow pump and having it discharge through a smaller diameter hose!.

no.. I couldn't use my bike pump at all. I also went to the gas station and couldn't use it there either. i had to end up buying an automatic pump that had a long skinny valve to fit in it. Wasted my money, since it doesn't even work properly.. My son uses it to lay on and jump on it.:(

No it can not. I have that pump it just has enough power to run a drip system. And not that well .

yes yoill can. I had a 12 volt pump for mine it will save alot of cranking.It makes it so easy

I suppose you could just splice the wires for a cigarette lighter plug . US electric though is a different animal. Now you need to convert 110volt direct current to 12volt which is what the pump runs on.

Yes you can. There is a cap on the top and a pump nozzle sits in there very well. You can also watch the gas gauge rise so you'll know when to stop. Works fantastic

gasoline: "regular" from the local pump. no mixing with oil. that's a good feature.

Thank you for your question. The Niagara and Baron pumps can be used to transfer Diesel Fuel. Although we do not believe there would be a problem with transferring gasoline neither pump has been tested or approved to transfer gasoline. We DO NOT recommend using the pump for gasoline.

I havent used it to pump kerosene and had no problems. Pump still works great. Just be sure to rince it out after u use it.

You definitely can! And it last for about 2 mos. tops ; then starts either leaking or air escaping thru the pump area, but its junk if you ask me.

Yes, you can use it, but since the container has to be higher than what you are trying to put the fuel in you might as well just pour it in and save yourself $40. It is not like you can set it on the ground, pump the handle and it will pump fuel. Unless you put an electric pump on it you are not gaining anything. Not worth the money.

I use it for diesel but there should be no reason why you couldn't use it for Gasoline.

I don't believe its designed for gas as it would probably damage the impeller. Also gas is flammable and dissolves oils. Diesel is an oil which lubricates the pump.
