Will this unit pump in both direction by reversing the battery leads. I need a pump to transfer fuel back and forth between two tanks.

The only way to reverse would be to swap the hoses. From what I have noticed with mine is that it has a diaphram pump action that pulls the fuel into the intake and then pushes out the other side.

I'm not there to look but I remember that only one leg was switched. It does work, I have 2 Hayward 220v pumps and a single 220v polaris booster running in it. Love the unit, much easier than the manual timer setup we had.

This is a transfer tank not intended to incorporate with vehicle fuel system. It fills through the cap on the tank and typically one would remove fuel with either electric or manual pump. That does not mean that it cannot be done but it is not recommended.

Anthony, you can remove fuel from a tank with this unit since it is equipped with a two-way hand pump. The problem you may run into is getting the actual hose down the vehicles fill pipe...but this can usually be overcome by removing the vehicles installed fill pipe to gain direct access to the tank.

I don't think switching the wirse will make it reverse. Don't know how to slow it down. Sorry

If it is battery operated, all you have to do is reverse the batteries and it will spin the other direction. It's a hassle but it is a solution.

Not much help here. Never tried it, but shouldn't cause any problem that I can forsee if you have good connections and no fuel leaks. However, you may have a heart attack when you have to fill both tanks at once!

Yes this motor does reverse direction by simply reversing the leads and seems to provide the same amount of torque in both directions. I have a couple of these that I use to power Halloween animations and get sufficient torque using 12 volt power.

No! This is a switching valve only! For the use of two fuel tank system. It doesn't have any effect on gauge, the tank sending unit controls the gauge readings. Gauge or sending unit needs more testing.

Yes ....but in my case DOT regulations state it can not be connected to the fuel system so for me it's only a transfer tank ....There is a drain bung on the bottom edge tho :)

All of the liquid is in front. It goes in the big hole and out the small one. The wiring is in back it is 12 volts and easy to wire. I used a single gang 110 volt new construction box and a light switch for 110 volt light. You need a real strong 12 volt service. Straight to the battery would be best. I think I've had my pump a couple of years now. I live full time in A RV and I use it about once a week. It's still going strong.

Although you may be able to reverse polarity to reverse the pump most pumps are design to flow only one direction without burning up the thrust on the inboard or outboard seal.

It's got a switch to draw from one or the other. I've run it on NiMH only w/o AA and it works fine. I assume the reverse is true.

It is normally counterclockwise. However, the brushes in this unit allow it to rotate in either direction. Just remove and replace the starter/generator, and the rotation will be the same on the new unit. Be very observant on how the unit is wired electrically, as that's what is important. Mine worked right out of the box, and cleared up my sluggish starting.

If you are referring to the main engine starting battery then yes. If will not maintain the other system batteries, they simply are not large enough to do that. You will need to keep a check on the water levels unless it is a sealed battery.

Yes, you could have ground and power reversed. Simply reverse the existing wires. If it used to work and now will not, you may have accumulated dirt/bugs/etc in the valve that is stopping the process from working. Time to take apart, carefully noting the sequence, and clean it up.

This tank only has one fitting for the fuel supply. You could install a T fitting and "one way valve" for each engine. This would allow fuel supply and prevent backflow from the non-running engine. I do not know if this would comply with USCG or ABYC standards. You might check with Moeller and find out if they have a dual draw tank that would serve your purpose.
