GREAT PRODUCT AND ITS VERY COMFORTABLE AND WELL DESIGNED

I will be the first to admit that I had my doubts about how good this product is. I always thought wow if it's as good as they say then I can actually use it. Of course, there are other ways to pump gas than putting a few hundred dollars in an orange collapsible plastic box that has some hoses and a small pump. However, after using it, I found it well thought out. When you're done you'll still have gas in the hoses, but the box is sealed so you won't smell or leak the gas wherever you store it. I particularly like the trigger lamp, which turns the motor on and off with a long cable. There isn't really a very good guide when you first get it. It won't take long to find out. The hoses mate when you want to pump out the car and get past the plastic ball that sits in the filler neck. It also says to put some wd40 or similar on the end of the 1st tube and leave the 2nd tube slightly raised to give the 1st tube some slack to continue moving over the obstacle (ball). Sometimes I wonder if technology exists just to make/need more specialized gear to do things or something. A few years ago, a cut garden hose worked great. I made my own by buying a pump, connector and some plastic tubing, but I still found this kit to be much more convenient. I don't normally spend $200 on some plastic, but in this case this is an exception. No, it's not Evans $200, it's $185 plus tax. My first job with him was pumping 5 gallons of old gasoline out of a generator. Later, I was able to read the manual more clearly and also looked at the website. They guarantee the pumps are there and say if you have any problems contact them. If something wasn't in the kit they also say they will fix it. As I get older, I look for shortcuts. that's a great label. My only issue was that these tubes were difficult to re-roll and place in the box. Maybe the box could be made a little bigger. They give you velcro and that velcro is not very strong or durable. This is another area that needs fixing. Nobody wants to stand there and try to coil up the hoses and most likely they just get stuck in the box or let some components out of the box and then can't find them. I salute those who took the time to invent this product.
