Can you use this to pump or siphon fuel from another car so I can get fuel from our other car in times of emergency?

No, it won't. It can be laid down and be used as any gas can that you would use a siphon hose with.

No you can not use the pump handle to siphon fuel from another car, because there is a screw on fitting which attaches the hose to the tank. However you could order the Flo n' go Maxflo, which should allow you to accomplish to siphon from another tank because the hose dose not have a fitting at the end. http://www.flo-n-go.com/products/product_maxflo

we use it for our boat but have to elevate it, to put the gas in. Its easy enough to roll so keep a few gallons in it for an emergency-hope that helpssome

Debi: Whereas it will work, without danger of explosion, I cannot vouch for the life of the unit after pumping gasoline. A "safer" and reusable option would be to get an inline 12 V electric fuel pump. You can typically get these at any automotive parts store....say AutoZone or Advanced Auto, and get some regular fuel line.

Maybe but probably not. Most newer cars have an anti-siphon screen installed in the car's fuel tube. The hose can not get past the screen. I love this thing btw.

Yes but its better to fill the lines first to protec the fuel pump , remember the gasoline works as a lubricant .. Just be carefull on that.. Other than that the fuel pump works great

Yes you can. In most cases, it is not recommended for safety concerns. If there is any fuel vapor in the air, jumpstarting at the terminals would be dangerous since the chance of sparking are greater. This is the main reason that a lot of car manuals would have you use the jump terminals or engine block or other grounded piece of metal for the negative side. However I've jumpstarted many, many times using the battery posts.

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 :)

That has never happened to me and I don't know what the problem is. Perhaps there is a vacuum in the fuel tank and if you uncap the fuel tank and equalize the air pressure before refueling it should work.

i would not use it for fuel. mainly because you will be pumping fumes out and I consider that a fire/explosion hazard.

if you want to replace the original fuel pump, don't get this one. If you want a pump to transfer fuel this one works great.

Not Car to gas can. It will Siphon gas can to car. You must have gas can higher than car tank. Takes vigorus shaking to get started.

I have not tried it but the width of the bottle seems big enough to put a gas station nozzle into it. I'm not sure I would go to a gas station for such a small amount of fuel. You'd be better off getting a 5 gallon container and using a funnel when you need the fuel.

No this pump is not designed for gasoline. It may damage the pump and/or cause an explosion.

Before you buy this or any other siphon item, get a flexible piece of hose small enough to fit down the neck of your gas tank and try to reach the gas. Many new cars have baffles in the filler neck making it impossible to reach the gas in the tank and siphon gas from it. Probably for EPA or safety (crash) reasons, but it is what it is. Don't wait for a hurricane and find out you can't get gas out of the tank.

This pump won't be able to handle that my cruiser uses somewhere around 60 and it can't fully inflate them. This is handy for an emergency if you don't need to replacev a tube. It will definitely get you home or to an air machine.

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.

Siphon PUMP as stated - No batteries - Manuel hand pump to get it going then free flow as long as you HOLD the handle open - just like at the gas station. If you are using it to siphon from one vehicle to a can you will need to add a longer hose to get it down in the fuel tank.

A siphon like this will get most of it out but not all. I would suggest when you do get the old gas out you inspect the gas tank for rust that could cause trouble down the road.
