Portable Transfer Pump 3.0 GPM Electric Siphon Pump ⛽

This battery-operated portable transfer pump makes moving fuel, water, or light oil from cans and tanks faster and less messy. It combines handheld convenience with a compact design and battery power, so you can siphon gas or extract diesel where there is no mains power. The pump is particularly useful for outdoor tasks and quick fluid transfers around the garage or job site.

Key Points

This portable electric siphon pump runs on common batteries and is easy to carry for roadside or remote use. The motor and impeller design increase suction so transfers are quicker than manual siphoning, and the unit is described as corrosion-resistant and non-toxic according to the manufacturer. Note that corrosive liquids are not suitable for this pump, and battery type requirements vary with the chosen power setup.

The pump fits common containers such as 3 to 5 gallon gas cans, jerrycans and pail buckets which makes it handy for refueling small equipment and emptying containers. It also includes a longer hose option to reach into deeper tanks and reduce spillage. For safety, avoid pumping flammable vapors in confined spaces without ventilation and follow local regulations when transferring fuel. ⛽️

Usage Recommendations

Start by checking hose connections and making sure the batteries are fresh for maximum pumping life and suction. For typical transfers, place the suction tube fully into the source container and the discharge hose into the receiving container to minimize splashes. When you need to move fuel from shallow cans, the 16 inch suction tube is useful, while the longer 47 inch hose helps when accessing awkward tanks or deeper reservoirs. 🔧

Consider using this unit outdoors or in well-ventilated areas when handling flammable liquids. The manufacturer indicates the pump can move over 1000 gallons on a single set of batteries under certain conditions, though actual results will vary with battery type and fluid viscosity. For maintenance, rinse with clean water after transferring non-fuel liquids and store the hoses dry to preserve the unit’s corrosion-resistant materials. 🚿.
