4.0 out of 5 stars Worked better than expected!, June 3, 2007

By	R. Traum "History Buff" (Miami, Fl USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I decided to take a chance with this product after running all over town to find something like it. Since I live in "hurricane country" the need to transfer gasoline for use in generators, etc is present all the time. I store the gas for my generator in 5 gallon cans, which when full, are very heavy. I was skeptical, but it worked better than I expected. It took me about 4-5 minutes to pump 2.5 gallons into my generator tank. I did not have to lift the can and did not risk spilling gas. Since it is battery powered it can be used when the power is out. All in all, I would recommend it for the average home user as long as it's not for heavy duty use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and handy, June 1, 2008

By	Eric Loche - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This item works as described and is exactly what I need. The new gas tanks purchased from CA are, as you likely know, horrible on the environment, your back, and the gas bill. This item lets me pump the gas without spilling fuel all over. It pumps about 5 gallons in five-ten minutes. Not speedy, but it is reasonable and gives me time to tend to other matters. (I pump two 5 gal tanks onto my boat right at my dock.)
The hose included is cheap material, so be prepared to buy a higher quality and longer hose. (3/4 inside dia. with a hose clamp. 5' is what I have.) Also - unless this pump is exactly upright it will leak a little through the vent hole, not a big deal, just set it well and you're good.
It is simple construction so I expect it will last quite a while. The parts are lightweight and seem a little cheap, otherwise it'd get 5 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look out for the switch!!!, July 22, 2008

By	John S. Pearce - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An excellent product so long as it is operative.The on/off switch located in the end cap is very fragile.This causes the pump to suddenly stop working.Nor does it appear to be repairable.Sirra Tools does not reply to E-Mail questions
