Portable Transfer Pump 2.4 GPM Electric Siphon Pump ⛽
Description:
This compact battery-powered transfer pump makes moving fuel, diesel or non-potable water quick and portable for use at campsites, on farms, or during roadside emergencies. Standing about 23 inches tall and delivering up to 2.4 gallons per minute according to the manufacturer, it combines light weight with practical flow for tasks where no electrical outlet is available.
Key Points
The unit runs on six AA batteries, so it works wherever you need it without cords or external power. It includes a 39-inch flexible, non-toxic hose that reaches into barrels, tanks, and confined openings for straightforward siphoning. Designed for fluids such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene and non-potable water, this pump is intended for quick extraction and transfer chores with minimal setup. Keep in mind the manufacturer advises using brand-new batteries and verifying fuel cleanliness before operation to reduce clogging and wear.

Usage Recommendations
Install fresh batteries and check that all seals and fittings are tight before starting. For safe operation, do not attempt to pump potable water for drinking, nor transfer corrosive or unapproved liquids. After use, flush and clean the pump promptly to remove residual fuel or contaminants and extend service life. Consider keeping a small container and gloves nearby when handling fuels to avoid spills and skin contact.
Practical Notes
This pump is compact and easy to carry, making it useful for refilling portable generators, lawn equipment, or draining tanks where gravity siphons are impractical. It may not match the sustained output of motor-driven electric pumps for very large volumes, so evaluate capacity needs for extended transfer jobs. According to the manufacturer, proper maintenance and correct battery choice improve reliability and performance.
