I know the bulb STARTS the siphon, but does it also serve as a PUMP to push the gas if the two cars are at same height?

It would be able to move a little fluid with each squeeze of the bulb, but it would be a lot of work to move gallons that way. With the siphon, gravity fill a fuel can on the ground, and then refuel the other vehicle from the fuel can. Look for a manual crank or electric Transfer Pump to go from tank to tank at the same level.

Unfortunately you need to hold the gas can about 12 inches from the ground - it pumps very fast so the can gets light fast.

First off, cool car! The pump works fine for continuous use. However, I would suggest wiring it with a relay and a toggle switch. When in heavy traffic or idleing for a long time the pump can overheat. Try to mount it in a place where it gets plenty of airflow. Also be careful starting it in extreme cold because the condensation can freeze and cause it to self destruct.

Being below would make the siphon not work too well when you're setting it up, but it won't affect the pump.

Yes...no problem...just be certain that the tank you need to reach is within the limit of the siphon hose...take a few pumps to get the liquid moving and then the siphon effect will take over for you...best for small machines (i.e. jet skis, outboard motors, chain saws, etc.)...not big enough to empty an automobile gas tank...you need an industrial pump to handle that in my opinion....

I would not recommend using this in that way. It is a push pull apparatus and in my opinion would not work correctly with only the gas pedal. I bought this for my paralyzed brother but when it is hooked up in his car, I can use it as well. It just takes some getting used to. It's not hard to hook up but for time sake, I just leave it hooked up and use it myself if I happen to need to use his car.

Siphon PUMP as stated - No batteries - Manuel hand pump to get it going then free flow as long as you HOLD the handle open - just like at the gas station. If you are using it to siphon from one vehicle to a can you will need to add a longer hose to get it down in the fuel tank.

This pump I purchased requires two D cell batteries. It begins siphoning/pumping the moment the switch is flipped on.It's a great, cheap siphoning pump......................

I bought a pump that plugs into the car. You could blow it up with your mouth, but it's pretty big for that.

Yes, as long as the car's accessory power port (a.k.a. Cigarette lighter!) is powered, the supply runs. I have a smaller Bestek that is fairly noisy for a while after starting, this one is pretty quiet.

It uses manifold pressure to draw gasoline from the tank to be used by the engine. A bad or damaged one usually results in hard starting or no start and if it does start, just won't run very well. An easy DIY and a good time to clean the inside if the fuel tank.

No it is not, but it starts at first or second pull every time (just push the gasoline priming pump a couple times first)

No. It has a key start or pull start. Make sure you prime the fuel bulb about 30 times to ensure it will start.

I think no, this valve has just one connection from your dash switch to transfert from main tank to secondary. When you run on the main tank you have no current on the terminal ( you have just when you are switch on auxilliary tank ). This system don't work when you drive always on main tank, the gas pass free in the valve and your engine stay running.Hope this can help.Regards LangisHabitually on GM product when a gauge go over full it'is the wiring of the gauge that was disconnect or broken bethwen switch and gauge on the tanks

This is only a replacement hose with a good priming squeeze bulb. Has no end fittings to plug to engine or portable tank. I think the same company does make units with engine fittings, (for more money)and I know they do for the Mercury engine end.

You could, but note cars post 2000 have anti-siphon gas tanks...it became common knowledge in the NE after Super Storm Sandy. Also, the longer the hose the harder it will be to prime the pump and you could burn it out.

If it's like other similar siphons I've used, there should be no need to keep squeezing until all the liquid is moved. 1) close screw valve on top of squeeze bulb. 2) give several squeezes until the liquid is flowing 3) just let it go until you have transferred the desired amount 4) open the twist valve to break the siphon - flow will stop 5) use care removing the siphon device, giving time for the remaining liquid to drain out of both tubes
