What is the best way to store the pump after use. I do not want to smell gasoline in my garage after use.

I take the batteries out and then hang it from the handle of my garbage can outside for a couple hours until it is dry. Then I like to store it in a space bag, which is like an oversized zip lock, so it seals everything in.

Mine stays at boathouse. Leave it out until gas smell goes away. Take batteries out so they don't corrode in unit.

I kept it in a garbage bag. But if you wipe off with a towel you can't smell it very much at all

Rona couple gallons of water through it. I've used it for gasoline then diesel and then water in the same hour.

It is best to store the remaining o2 absorbers in an air tight environment. I use a food saver system to re-seal my o2 absorbers. Place the proper size o2 absorber in the mylar bag prior to sealing it. Just toss it in and seal it up.

Gas is probably still good. I would run the gas out, add new gas then add PRI-G if you plan further storage.

I pull it out of the plastic bag it comes in and let it breathe in the garage (sitting up inside the box it came in to keep it clean) and turn it over at least once a day for about 3-4 days. You can check it to see if it is acceptable at that time or let it breathe longer if needed. Enjoy.

I have not cleaned my pump out after using and I use it for gasoline transfer. So far so good.

yes, the gas canister has to breathe a bit, otherwise the gas can explode. Also, be advised the ethanol in the gas can turn into water causing damage to your gasoline appliance. try not to store gasoline over long periods of time.

Leave it attached to the tank so that it's readily available to use if you need it. You can store it out of the way until you need it again. Maybe in a top corner of the tank.

Strain cooled oil and put into bottle/jug and refrigerate. I never used it for more than 30 days. You might contact the company producing the oil and ask to be SAFE.

Once you're unable to pump it any longer, it should be sealed. If you pull gently, the stopper remain in place if properly sealed.

The coupler of the can did not fit on my washer. So I used short(about 2' long) garden water hose or any hose with male garden hose connector on one end, connected to pressure washer and stick in a funnel on other end of hose. Hold funnel higher than highest point of the pump without making sharp kink/bend. Poured automotive antifreeze until the antifreeze begin to flow out of other end of the pump outlet. It will protect the pump from freeze/rust through out period of storage economically. Be careful not spilling antifreeze where pets can injest liquid. Found it to be economical. Good luck.

Leave the handle on. Makes it easier to lift out. Note: Lift this out with the pump on.

I guess there was a strong odor of stain but I didn't detect gasoline smell. My bench is outdoors so the smell has totally dissipated. If using indoors, I'm not sure how long it will take for the odor to go away.

They tell you not to leave it up year round, but I did. You need to drain it below the hose holes a couple inches.Then remove all hoses and the valves. Shock well and put in some algecide. I let it uncovered.I live in the North were it get below freezing for 2 -3 months. Once it Thaws out put some more shock and algecide in it the put the hoses and valves back on,then hook up the pump when there's no more chances that it will freeze. Also they now sell a solar blanket that fits perfect and will help warm it up..

I keep mine stored dry. I use non-ethanol fuel you can purchase @ Lowes (TruFuel) to occasionally run it. I also luckily have access to a gas station (SUNOCO) that sells non-ethanol gas.

I'm guessing you mean fumes? Personally, I was very careful not to get any gas on the outside of the container when pumping. So for me, I didn't smell anything on the 10 minute ride home.

Quite possible. For the safest & best storage you should remove the gas bottle after use & the unit has cooled. Then you don't have to worry about the bottle leaking. While attached. That's how we do it.
