Can this be used with Gasoline? Will the seals fail or will it melt?

Without specific data, the answer can only be that the item is for used with a ceramic crock. How and to what extent it may safely and effectively adapted for use is conditioned by the parameters of its specified purpose. Generally, Gasoline use and storage should be only in containers clearly and specifically marked and intended for that purpose. For obvious reasons, these spigots are not consistent with requirements to safely store and dispense petroleum products. I would recommend consulting the Mfg. and local Fire Authorities concerning the specifics of containers for the storage and dispensing of flammable liquids.

I have no idea. I bought one to replace the one on my water crock. It works perfect for that!

I would NOT dispense gasoline with one. If the seals don't melt the plastic body of the valve will. Don't try it.

I believe the intended use is for water. You should probably contact the manufacturer or seller with your question.

gasoline starts to break down very quickly.... it will form a vanish and lose it's usibility pretty quickly ... like a few months.. adding this after a year is not going to help.. it say's right on it must be used with fresh gas

Absolute not. It will shatter over direct heat of any type, gas or electric.

I would not use this with fuel. The product is top notch for many other projects.

The handles are hard plastic. You'd have to check with Fagor. I'm not sure they'd melt , but might give off toxic fumes. Regulator would melt and be ruined, I'm pretty sure.

I use it for gas and it holds well. I don't know if it rusts with water or not in the long run, but it holds liquid gasoline.

I've used it to pull transmission fluid from a warm bike engine. Im unsure of the temp, but it held up fine. The engine was too hot to touch though. If you're planning on using it for food safe items, I probably wouldn't recommend temperatures that high. The plastic taste/smell may seep into the liquid.

The major issue I can think of is what may happen to the pump seal(s).. that would mean that basically any seals would need to be regreased with petroleum jelly, which yes means disassembly to do so.

It should pump gasoline well but I CANNOT recommend it. This pump uses an electric drill for power and electric drills produce sparks. Just look through the ventilation slits in the drill housing while the drill is running and you can see them easily. Fumes could be drawn into the drill and the results could be devastating! I would certainly NOT use it for gasoline.

Not sure about gas but, it does amazing with oil. I used to replace gasket on the front of my air compressor after having several other brands leak.

It's plastic. Gasoline has an ignition temperature of @ 500 degrees; obviously it cannot work with real gasoline.

Absolutely use the oil gas mix. failure may destroy your engine I use 91 octane

I would not use this pan for gasoline because there is no way to prevent explosive fuel vapor from escaping into the surrounding air and causing a fire or explosion hazard. I would recommend using an approved fuel container or fuel caddy only! Contact your local auto parts store or visit the Northerntool.com website.

I wouldn't. Two reasons: One, this pump moves a small volume of fluid. Good for bleeding brakes but moving gallons would take a long time and you would have to empty the small container many times. Two, the tubing and container are all plastic and I'm not sure if they would react with gasoline or not. Plus, there would be a lot of combustible fumes escaping. Could be dangerous.Modern gas doesn't last long without stabilizers in it, so if it has been in the car long, it isn't worth recovering. If you have to, marine supply stores have rubber bulbs for priming fuel lines. They can be used to safely start a fuel siphon. I wouldn't. Two reasons: One, this pump moves a small volume of fluid.

I don't know, but they say that no aditives should be put into the fuel pror to using the funnel. I have my doubts that I will work with a gas mixture, because the oil acts like an aditive.

yes. it can be used with gas. but read the directions on how to place the logs to avoid soot on them.

I live in Texas and keep some in the car. I haven't had any problems with them melting or breaking down.
