Not as advertised. - Barrel pumps and hand pumps

They are not as advertised. Bought this after visiting the website thinking the 1" ID advertised would speed things up considerably as it currently takes around 3-4 minutes to pump 20 liters of fuel using similar siphon tubes bought elsewhere became. They arrived yesterday and are not 1 inch inside diameter. The outside diameter of the siphon valve itself is 7/8 inch, but the inside diameter in the holes is only 1/2 inch and the plastic tubing isn't even 3/8 inch inside diameter. In short, they

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons

You will never pick up and spill a gas cartridge again

Gas cartridges are NOT designed to be refilled on boats and the nozzle can bend, break off or leak (incorrectly referred to as 'leak tight'). It's very easy to use. Simply put on your canister (I threw away the fill nozzle and now use a cap on it) insert the hose so the end is under your gas canister (mine goes about 2-3 feet under the gas canister on my 22 foot white Hail .) I inflate the hose and a siphon kicks in, emptying the entire canister. Tilt the glass a little at the end and you will…

Not as advertised, fits keg and hand pumps

This is NOT a 1" ID hose. Measuring the inside diameter (this was tricky because the tubing is flattened in the packaging so it's not perfectly round). I've also provided a picture of what it would look like with 1" which is clearly not a 1" ID hose. False advertising = 1 star deduction. There were 2 stars deducted for the hose itself. Packaging. This was NOT caused by the shipping or anything that was on the shelf in the warehouse but how it was packaged in the box. I had to (carefully) use a…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been selected

Good siphon, easy to use

I bought this siphon primarily to transfer gas from a larger storage tank to a smaller one to fuel a car, ATV, or generator set. This is a good product that does not require a power supply to work. You may find that it takes more than a few shakes to start the flow, and the flow is relatively fast, but not so fast that you don't have time to pull the end of the shaker out of the source tank. An anti-static hose helps prevent unexpected fires. With the transparent hose you can control the…

Pros
  • Decent performance
