Review on πŸš€ Efficient Transfer Pump: BECKSON MARINE 109PC Siphon-Mate by Travis Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Instructions for use and quotation

1. In order for the siphon to work, the inlet end must be higher than the outlet.2. Pump the handle several times until the inlet tube and outlet tube are completely filled with liquid.3. Keep the pump handle OUT (and keep it INSIDE) to aspirate liquid, and push the handle INSIDE (and keep it INSIDE) to stop the siphon flow.4. Practice with a bucket full of water, remembering that the bottom of the bucket (if this is your inlet) should be higher than the end of the outlet pipe. Note that when fueling a car, the bottom of the tank is likely less than a foot off the ground, so the end of the outlet pipe needs to be less than a few inches off the ground. CONS: Snorkel is TOO LIGHT and difficult to control. It dangles freely everywhere. A heavier and thicker tube (or hose) would be better. You can attach a weight to one or both ends of the pipe, but of course NOT if you put that end of the pipe in a closed container (it could fall off). Inside). The weight can be a heavy nut or a pipe that clamps snugly to the end of the pipe.

Pros
  • Garage & Shop
Cons
  • Some small things
