Heavy Duty Manual Hand-Operated Siphon Pump

Works great!

Works great!

This siphoning hose works as expected. It is made a tat bit cheap however, it is cheap for 8 dollars. Couldn't expect anything more than what it is for 8 dollars. It meets the need of what I needed it for, yard and garden work for tractor, weed whacker, etc. Works just fine for small now and again uses. I'm happy that I bought it, would by it again...

We like the Tera Pump because it makes refueling our minibikes faster and cleaner than sloshing a can over all the tanks. The pump takes a minute or less to prime and it doesn't lose suction while going from bike to bike. We haven't used it on any type of fuel other than 91 Octane gas so I can only vouch for that. It may act differently with diesel or kerosene. We like it and will most likely buy another one just to have as back up in case this one ever breaks.

I go on fishing trips several times during the summer and drive hours to get to my location. It is easier to bring extra fuel cans than to pay the higher fuel prices along the way. My biggest challenge in the past was the weight of the fuel cans and spilling fuel. After a little bit of adjustment, I was able to get this working with no problem. This is not something that you can just get started and walk away, but it is fairly hands free once it gets started. It is not the sturdiest of material, but it is not too expensive and easy to replace if damaged. Well worth the money.

The pump works great, and was delivered on the promised date.

I ordered an almost identical Siphon Pump (made in China) a few months ago to replace an old similar pump that I had for many years. The china made pump sucked - no wait,it really did not suck - it would continue to lose prime and stop siphoning and you needed to continue to pump by hand to get the job done. I saw this TERA PUMP SI-60 Siphon Pump (made in USA) and ordered it. Works like a charm. The China knock off looks identical down to the color but does not work. I recommend this model highly.

I've had a number of these over the years. They are cheap and will last around three or four years. The plastic dries out, becomes brittle, cracks and develops a leak. I've used it for siphoning kerosene into a heater rather than trying to pour from a five gallon can. I also use it to put diesel in my tractor from a five gallon can. If you can get it with delivery for a total of five bucks then it's worth it. It will save you a trip to Lowes/HD where they sell for five bucks plus tax. The battery operated ones aren't worth the extra money.
