Can you fill this up at a gas station or do you have to fill it by using the siphon?

Yes you can. There is a cap on the top and a pump nozzle sits in there very well. You can also watch the gas gauge rise so you'll know when to stop. Works fantastic

You can fill it up either way, just make sure you keep an eye on the gauge and slow down when almost full, kind of hard to move when full though, I just fill it with a five gallon tank and make a few trips.

The caddy is mobile but with 30 gals of gas would weigh over 250 lbs. I filled it up with several trips to gas station and a couple of 5 gal cans. You can just pore it into the caddy, there is a fill cap that comes off.

It depends upon the state laws. Some places would require you put the gas caddy on the ground. Other states would allow you to fill this in the bed of a truck. I have a low trailer that simplifies loading and unloading (using a ramp) since this caddy is quite heavy when full. Please secure the caddy FIRMLY to prevent upset. Good luck.

I have always taken it down to refill. I don't think its possible to fill it while its hanging.

It can be refilled from the bottom with standard cans of butane. Just like filling a butane lighter. I use quality butane that has been refined at least 5 times.

A good way to remove gas is to use a siphon pump like that used for filling kerosine heaters. Then run the engine until it runs out of the remaining fuel that will clear the line and carburator. I would store it dry for long term with no use.

As far as I know you can only fill it up with the electric pump. I don't remember seeing any manual way of filling it.

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.

Its fairly simple to use. Using gravity, you raise the smaller tube/plunger and fill tube with liquid and then depress the same smaller tube and it creates a siphon. It may take a couple of pumps depending on how long the tubing is and what not. I suggest you get a pinch valve to control/stop the flow of fluid. It can be a messy situation sometimes. Mahalos

The fuel bottom comes empty. You can fill it with any type of liqued fuel yourself.

You can't. You need to go my your gauge in your car. I usually pump the gasoline when I'm almost empty.

Yes. It uses the standard propane tanks that might exchange or refill at your local gas station.

I am using it outside a race track. It seals very tightly, and is easy to fill from a pump. With the spout I purchased (VP RACING FUELS JUG HOSE for 5 GALLON GAS CAN) there is only a small amount of gas vapor escape even when the spout is uncapped. So, I see no reason why even our environmental wacko lawmakers would make it illegal. So, they probably will.

I am not aware of that need to purge the tank,I just plugged it in and filled it with 30 litres of gas and used it on my forklift.The quanity of fill is to avoid over filling the tank as a safety measure.

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

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

Actually I have an Outback and yes I can siphon gas from a can to my car...but not from my car.

I filled it with a small funnel I have from another atomizer I own. Amazon sells mini funnels or you can use any kind of dropper (like from nose drops) to fill it. Or even a turkey baster.

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.
