will it transfer gasoline without a problem?

I have only used it once, but it was with gasoline. Worked fine, with no leaks nor deterioration of any components. Of course, it smelled of gas for a while.

It transfers gasoline just fine. I emptied the gas tank on my scooter several times while fixing it with no problem.

I've used this to transfer fuel and it worked well. However, make sure the tubes are inserted firmly because the pressure can cause the exhaust tube to fall off and thus cause fluid to spill all over. In my case, it was gasoline..not fun!

Yes...no problem...just be certain that the tank you need to reach is within the limit of the siphon hose...take a few pumps to get the liquid moving and then the siphon effect will take over for you...best for small machines (i.e. jet skis, outboard motors, chain saws, etc.)...not big enough to empty an automobile gas tank...you need an industrial pump to handle that in my opinion....

Yes assuming you have the proper regulator, and supporting fuel plumbing. Keep I'm mind pumps are better suited to push fuel instead of suck it.

I don't recall it moving at all on mine. But I wasn't looking ether. A little movement should be ok...as long as its not leaking gas I wouldn't worry too much.

Sorry, I have no idea. I haven't used mine yet because it is unsuited for transferring caustic liquids. Your newsprint idea sounds reasonable except that gasoline would still soak through and smell like, well, gasoline - not the same as Chanel #5 or Brut. It seems unlikely that any container would be able to keep that odor in unless hermetically sealed. Not sure it's worth the cost.Hope you have success in resolving this. I'd be glad to hear about it when you do.

shouldn t be a problem as long as its pumping something ..... don t run it dry

Not much help here. Never tried it, but shouldn't cause any problem that I can forsee if you have good connections and no fuel leaks. However, you may have a heart attack when you have to fill both tanks at once!

Yes. The type of fuel does not matter. You should be careful to install it correctly in a newer vehicle... they have multiple computers on board that you could harm if done improperly.

Hi Chery J.! I have intalled it on my Buggy and the gas in my country has about 21% of alcohol and so far any sign of problem.

I used it to remove transmission fluid, so it should work fine with kerosene.

Incidental contact with gasoline will not be a problem. As for heat, well how hot is hot? I'm sure you could melt it/burn it with Propane or MAPP gas, if you're thinking of using on engine parts things other than exhaust manifolds should be fine. As always proper surface prep is key.

No, this does not come with a fuel pump. You should be able to transfer it, but you would want to check with Briggs to make sure it's compatible.

I think it will be fine. I'm using it on a pump myself but I don't know how far it will transmit.

No. This just switches the gas on and off. If everything else is working (not leaking, lighting promptly, burning clean etc.) this won't affect efficiency.

Possibly, but it depends on the tank design. Assuming it's a gravity fed design, you'd be better off disconnecting the fuel line to drain it. Use something like this:Laguna Multi Hose Adapter, 1/4 to 1-Inch That will allow you to connect the short fuel line to a longer hose.Be prepared to deal with a varnished carburetor. Add something like B12 Chemtool to your new fuel. You may have to remove the carb and soak it in Chemtool or carb cleaner, or maybe even rebuild it.

This is a gasoline pump but diesel is less volatile and astringent so it will be fine. Just remember that these pumps are primarily for pressure and won't have a great deal of volume. The most important thing to remember is that gas is extremely flammable with sparks and you need to be mindful of your wiring and switch.

I would assume no since the nozzle is closed while it is sitting. They do suggest you push the button before you try to poor since some of the gasoline will evaporate and build up pressure in the gas can. I love mine! It works the same way the nozzles work at the gas station.

I would recommend replacing the hose itself. This stuff could work, but I have no idea whether it can be attacked by gasoline.
