If it is sitting at gound level are you able to top off a car or truck? Or, is it simply gravity fed, unit has to always be higher than fuel point?

You can top off car/truck by pumping the handle...but it will take more time than gravity flow.

Gravity feed. It has a priming feature, but it still won't pump uphill. FYI: The wheels are junk and the plastic handle does not last. I replaced both the handle and the wheels with quality parts and now it works fine. Except for when the hose kinks. A future replacement.

It does work by gravity. I have raised the tank to enhance gravity. I keep my boat in the water, so the water level is lower than the dock level. For my purposes, it works great, saves me money and time waiting in dock gas line.

There is a plug on the bottom of one end. Whether it can be used to hook up a gravity feed, I don't know, as there isn't much room between thetank and the side of the pick-up. I only used it for a drain plug when I removed the tank(I traded for a gas model truck and the tank cannot be used for gasoline).

Unfortunately I have not attached it to my truck but my John Deere tractor. the tractor has a hydrolic lift so it can be leveled. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

When the Thule is on top it doesn't effect gas milage much. If the rack is on the car without the Thule there is a whistling sound. But we attached the rack to the Thule and keep it all assembled either in the garage or on the car. We used it several times going from Florida to North Carolina and it works great on our Jetta sports Wagon

Yes you can! Tractor supply, or any auto parts supplier will have one! The only drawback is, raising the height of the carrier will make loading and off loading more difficult, but no more ground clearance issues! Helper leaf springs on your truck will also help, it did for Me! Safe Travels........

I have not looked to see how easy it would be but you should be able to disconnect the fuel line. You may need an extra piece of hose to reach fuel container.

too high, you need one for a chevy vega 70 - 72 or 3 they run 3 PSI and you still may want to run a Tee at the carb with a .060 orfis in the 1/4" return line. they use to make a 3" square looking universal import pump 3 PSI .05 amp draw but i dont know the number.how about a beer keg gravity feed mounted like a tractor weight higher than the motor would be cool 1/2 psi is enought 3 psi is max on a good float and needle assemblywrascil@aol.com

it does need to rest on the ground. I have a GMC 2500 and it just hits the ground.

It will not lift your car any higher than the stock. what i used it for was raising the car back up with a wheel chair lift on the back that made it sag and it worked great. You might try air shocks i have had luck with those in the past they can raise your ride hieght a few inches when you air them up.

The way I have did it the last three years is, with around 1/2 tank at the station, put in the BG44, then fill the tank up. I do this ever spring after the car has been in storage through winter. Runs like a top in the spring.

The gas can does not have to be above the tank that you are filling. I have a 5 gal can on the floor and use the Terapump to fill a Scooter and a moped.

I do not know but you can call the distributor,they have a tech who can answer all your questions. Call Mike at Max tool 1-800-629-3325 ext.204 and he will answer all your questions. One thing i know for sure,do not top off the fuel tank,it will expand flooding and killing the engine and making a hell of a mess in the bed of your truck or wherever it is sitting.I wanted to make sure i had enough fuel to run allnight without getting up to refill @3 in the morning but it expanded in bed of truck. Only fill about 2-3 inches from top.It is a fine generator,quiet and runs a/c micowave,coffee pot tv all at same time with no problem.

Hey! The pump reaches outside of the car, so you can blow it up while laying it on the ground:-) it's definitely not as short as the picture! Hope that helps

Its flat to the top of your truck. Make sure you really take your time installing . grind the shield of the exhaust where the first pipe fitting is our it will rattle. How this helps

No, you absolutely cannot turn it off.It stays warm till it is out of fuel.Not sure why the poster above would say you could....

We use diesel in are's, Runs great & cheaper to operate.When shutting unit off you can't just unplug. Follow manufactures instructions.Empty fuel compartment when not using in summer months.
