Can this unit pump liquid from a tank below or is it gravity fed?

It is gravity fed, consequently I could not use it for my application on a 1956 Imperial, and had to return it.

It does work by gravity. I have raised the tank to enhance gravity. I keep my boat in the water, so the water level is lower than the dock level. For my purposes, it works great, saves me money and time waiting in dock gas line.

As long as it is below the water level and water flows INTO the pump easily ( gravity fed ) it will work. DO NOT PUMP HOT WATER INTO A RO unit , however as it will destroy the RO membrane. Use only cold water Use cold water only!!

It seems to pump fine, for the length of hose that comes on it. You would not be able to be much higher than the supply tank. But there's only enough hose to reach about 2 ft. I set it on the deck of my mower and it just reaches the tank and fills fine. My batteries go dead between uses if I leave them in it for even a week. I assume there's a resistor across the switch to keep it from arching when turning on or off.

All my pumps sit level to the tank bottom or below the tank. Just be sure to use check valves, and create a drip loop with the power plug.

That is a good question. It doesn't appear to have high discharge pressure, so I don't think it would do too well. I have pumped from the ground level up higher with no real problem. Probably any sort of restriction would keep the flow way down. Keep in mind that the pump is driven by a battery.

Yes. I have it sitting on the floor in my basement, next to my dehumidifier. The way I have the unit set up it pumps the water vertically for 80 inches , then horizontally 12 feet where it exits the basement wall to the outside.

I do not believe this is for your application. This is an above ground pump.

It does not have to be submerged in order to work, if the intake is supplied with water. Like at the low end of a closed loop system. But it won't pull water up from a reservoir.

This fuel water separator installs from the tank to the engine or in your case the outboard. it needs the suction of the fuel pump to draw fuel through it. gravity fed fuel would not be able to pass through the filter. Hope this answers your question C. Blue.

Obviously you need a pump, electrical connections. this is not a gravity fed operation. You need to add power. I guess you could try gravity but all you will get is a trickle at the nosseles of no value

YOu could frill a hole in the bottom/back and bring the supply in there instead of from underneath, or just bring your supp;y through the wall below the unit and then upwards through some flex. I do not believe this unit it rated for outdoor use (not waterproof, etc)

The pump needs to be lower than your brew kettle and it is primed by gravity.

I think yes, but this is not gravity fed vlalve. That means that there will be some chlorine left at the bottom of you 5 gallon chlorine tank.

It works much better underneath the tank than it would right next to it. This is mainly because of the vacuum effect needed for constant filtration. Hope Thai helps.

I do not believe the tank alone will increase pressure on a gravity feed system.

This is a food grade pump with an open motor. It cannot be submerged, it's gravity fed and I don't know about pumping oil. Low viscosity perhaps? Contact the manufacturer about that one
