I need a good syphon

[24V-DSL]

I have a 5 gal. pail of fuel additive with only a screw-cap opening on top.



I need a syphon to transfer to a 1/2 gal. secondary container.



I've tried two of those squeeze ball (cheap) syphons, and a fist sized turkey baster type to suck it out. None of these work very well.



Auto parts stores don't help other than already mentioned.



Please be as specific on brand name, source, etc.



TIA...

A quick search at www.northerntool.com turned up these pumps.

I use this on my 5 gallon pales. Works real good for transfering oil into the NV5600. They are on sale at Bargain Outfitters for $17. 97

along the same lines

I need something that I can pump diesel fuel from my company tractor trailer's tank into my pickup tank :-laf at a higher speed than a kerosene squeeze pump. Long hose would be nice too...



Errr, btw I mean in case I run out of fuel in my pickup and would need 5 gallons of fuel from the company in an emergency .

You can always buy a regular outbord engine type of fuel line with the squeeze ball. They have built in check valve. You can put any length hose on you want.

Won't pump real fast but will be durable for sure.





And there are always those flexible impeller pumps that run by a drill. That would work for fuel transfer

Is 300 gallons per hour fast enough? :-laf

Siphon ?

Where was the " Pony " when I was struggling with this problem. I ended up buying a 12 volt fuel pump and hooking up a 3/8th's hose. Power is by a 12 volt extension from the cig. lighter. Takes 30 mins. to fill. R C

Oops ?

Just noticed this pump is sold and labeled for water. ? Don't know if that presents a problem for you. R C

I haven't a clue. That was the result of a quick search at Northern. I've never even seen one, much less used it.
