Will this pump gas from a 5 gal. can on the ground to a tank 3 feet high without priming?

I actually use it to ppump gas from a 15 gal drum to my truck, works great. Also used it to pump gas out of a tank for maintenance. One time I had to give it a little suction to start but most times not

If you use 2 6" standard bar type air stones, and run 2 of the ports to each air stone, it will work fine. I have this setup in a DWC cloning chamber. I would run all 4 ports to 1 4" round airstone. For multiple 5 gallon buckets, I would recommend going to the larger diaphragm style pump. They are just as quiet (our is actually quieter), and produce WAY more air.

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank. Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you.

Hey,i think it would work great for that purpose i would try though to make sure the pump is below or lower then the tank,good luck Pat

No: The float will start when it is at the top of the pump. Probably about 6"

Its an amazing pump but I would not recommend it be used in conjunction with a tank less heater, these heater require a minimum of .5 gals per min. to activate so it wont work.

itself suppose to be self priming-however I found if the head /suction is like 14 feet -it does need to be primed to help it along-if you don't hear the water flow through hoses within a 10 seconds stop and prime or you will burn out the impeller. I've found there is generally no problem when I transfer from 55 gallon barrels all the time. I don't know how large your burn piles are-but i don't believe this pump will give you the pressure your looking for. it works well but- sounds like you need a pump that i use in my camper-there're pricey but do the job 2gal a minute and 40 psi depending on the model. as far as fitting in to the barrel should be no problem just uses a standard garden hose-will fit through a 2 inch no problem. camper pump sounds like what you need-where you could put a garden spray nozzle on the end.

Yes. I had my gas co. hook mine to my 250 gal. propane underground tank. They tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator next to my house and installed a tamper resistant valve with a quick connect on it. I have run it this way. Works fine. Would highly recommend you get your gas co. to do this. They need to see if the high pressure line is big enough. To hook it up this way also voids the warranty.

Yes, you will have to pump rather than gravity flow. My use requires me to pump up to a tank opening about 4 feet above the source (5 gallon container). It does a great job for me. Hope this helps.

Yes but the pump will need to be primed once the end of the hose is submerge prior to operating the 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

Easily. That's basically my setup. I have my pump in a window well with a 5/8" hose coming out of it vertically and then flat for more than 50' and it works perfectly.

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 don't know exactly how high it will pump but mine goes up roughly 5 feet without any problems what-so-ever. If you do purchase it, make sure you install the check valve, otherwise the pump will be constantly underwater which will shorten the life of the pump considerably.

Yes it will. I just placed it on top of the 5 gal. bucket and let it do its job.

yes it is. Put it on the right side of the tank. Put the suction on the left. Place pump under the tank or behind it but lower than the tank. Place it with the priming button towards the front and the hoses toward the rear. If this is done correctly it will prime itself.

About 8 foot or so I have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets. I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank
