Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ USA Built 12V Gasoline Transfer Pump/Siphon GasTapper- Ideal for UTV's, Boats, Equipment, Vehicles, Gas, Diesel- Excellent Tool for Preppers by Bryan Maignan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great product but the repackaging is disappointing - my advice is better than theirs.

Product idea is great: put the 12V fuel pump in a waterproof (odorless) housing, connect it to the car's 12V socket, add a hose set for different situations, done. It works great too - no more mess and hassle starting/managing the siphon. The kit is complete and contains high quality components. Instructions are detailed. However, memory issues may arise depending on the version. I have the standard model with the gold pump. When I first opened it, it took forever to put it back in its case. The (detailed) instructions include storage recommendations and mention that they have a repackaging instruction video on their website. HOWEVER, their video shows the device with a black pump, with the fittings protruding 90 degrees from the body and pivoting. This matching design seems a lot less of a hassle than aligning the ports on the gold pump, which just gets in the way. One star for that doesn't help me at all. After finally getting tired of fighting the octopus out of the tubes back into the case every time, I decided to spend some time investigating the problem. I found it best to wrap the white tubing around the pump at the bottom of the case. Tie the harness and place it on your back. Then roll up the yellow inlet tube tightly and place it toward the center/front of the case. Then FOLD the yellow outlet tube around the perimeter. Other accessories can be installed here and there. Now it's easy to close. See my photos for examples of how to roll a tube and how it will look when finished.
