Will this stop the flow of fuel when not on? Want to use it to transfer fuel to my main tank.

I could not get it to pump anything. it would be best for you to get another pump.

It won't transfer anything unless it's on FLAT ground. Good luck pumping from a tank or at a high angle. To answer your question when the pump stops, the flow does not

Yes, it will gravity feed empty. My tank is a 40 gallon tank and I had to install an in line filter to strain the fuel before it entered the main fuel tank.

This is normal for any gas appliance that is pulling off a rail with one regulator. If the flow becomes so low that the first burner goes out completely, then you have two problems: 1. a defective gas regulator on the end of the hose; 2. or the orifice for the second burner is larger than the first one and is pulling more gas than required. I would talk to a local propane dealer technician if it concerns you.

I used this on our motorhome to prevent back flow from the black tank spray and it works, but water leaks out of the small holes in the valve every time the water supply is turned off. In our case this is a problem because it over flows into the water/sewage bay and leaks out on the ground.

No, this pump will keep pumping until it burns up. Or gets the power shut off. You'll have to have some sensor in the tank to shut it off

NO! If you get the copper pump down the fill tube into your tank there is not enough hose left over to operate it and get the gasoline safely into a gasoline container. Now you have to get the copper pump out of the tank. You may find out the pump will pull off the hose and roll around at the bottom of your fuel tank for the rest of the vehicle's life. As siphoning from a gasoline container to the vehicle no problem.

no.. fuel will drain back into can on it's own.. just hang the pump assembly to dry until next use.

Yes it can. After sending the "stop"command it actually stops the engine and it does not let the engine start again until the "start" command is received by the unit.

Not much help here. Never tried it, but shouldn't cause any problem that I can forsee if you have good connections and no fuel leaks. However, you may have a heart attack when you have to fill both tanks at once!

Nope! I made the mistake. I put this on a 5kw generator with 11hp motor. The flow with gravity feed is such a slight trickle that the unit starves for gas in just a few minutes. It's obviously for a system with a fuel pump. It does however appear to be better made than similar filters I've used on pumped systems so the few I bought won't go to waste.

The bottom of the slot should be closed. As the water passes it pulls text oil molecules from the slot. I have noticed it aids in keeping the tank cleaner & no oil residue there.

YES While it is on. Not officially of course. Many of these safety 'features' are there to prevent dumb accidents / fires.HOW: There is a small lever at the bottom of the tank housing area that is pressed down when the tank is in place.Just tape it down with a bit of painter's tape.Keeps on heating while you change tank.I also do this to do my monthly Dry burn down of the wick. See Pg. 10 of your manual

Yes, you remove tank to fill it. Don't know about leaving it running, I wouldn't try it. I'm sure instructions say don't do that.

My husband is in the process of getting this hooked up. We purchased the transfer switch so it is a little more involved. Our hope was to run a hook up from our 500 gal tank but some of his coworkers (hospital maintenance workers) said there could be an issue with pressure from our large home propane tank so they referred him to our propane supplier. You might want to call your company and speak with an expert. We haven't made the call yet.

If it is not adjusted correctly for the type of fuel you use it could. Might doesn't. I use kerosene . Diesel probably do it more

Depends on your water unit. Mine automatically stops after a number of gallons have passed through the system.

sounds like propane in the line but not coming from the tank. Tank overflow valve may have sucked up to cut off propane.Disconnect, bounce tank (assuming it is full), to shake valve down, then turn slowly so it doesn't suck up again. Happens on the new regulation tanks with overfill valve.
