Self-Priming Siphon Pump | 6FT Anti-Static Hose | 1/2-Inch Brass Shaker Valve

This manual siphon pump moves gasoline, diesel, and water without electrical power or mouth siphoning. The gas siphon pump features a 6-foot clear hose and a 100 percent brass valve. A few quick shakes start a continuous gravity flow between containers within seconds. Features and Benefits - Solid brass check valve - Starts the flow with a simple jiggle motion to avoid inhaling fuel vapors - 6-foot transparent tubing - Lets you see liquid moving in real time to monitor flow and sediment - Half-inch inner hose diameter - Moves up to 3.5 gallons per minute using plain gravity transfer - Lead-free valve and food-grade plastic - Works safely for fuel transfer and non-potable water, though modern anti-siphon screens block car tanks Applications - Moving fuel from plastic jerry cans down into boat fuel tanks at the dock - Draining lawn equipment, snowblowers, and pressure washer tanks for winter storage - Emptying clogged aquariums, rain barrels, or emergency household water containers quickly What It Is This self-priming siphon pump is a manual fluid transfer tool designed to move liquids without electrical power. It consists of a 1.8 m anti-static hose paired with a 12.7 mm copper shaker valve. The internal ball mechanism inside the valve creates suction when agitated vigorously up and down in the liquid. This design removes the need to suck on hoses or operate external squeeze bulbs, establishing a steady gravity-fed flow through the pipe once the liquid passes the siphon crest. Key Uses & Applications This siphon pump transfers fuel, gas, water, and other general liquids between containers, tanks, and machinery. Tradespeople use it for: - Draining fuel tanks on plant machinery, lawnmowers, and generators before servicing - Transferring petrol or diesel from jerry cans directly into equipment without heavy lifting - Emptying water from sumps, blocked pipework, or storage barrels on site - Moving liquids between drums where power outlets are unavailable To siphon fuel or liquids safely, ensure the discharge end sits lower than the fluid source before starting the transfer. How to Choose When selecting a siphon pump, check valve sizing, hose reach, and fluid compatibility for your specific job. A 12.7 mm valve diameter suits standard container openings and handles rapid fluid transfer, while the 1.8 m hose provides enough reach to work between high tailgates and ground level. If you are wondering how to use a siphon pump for fuel, drop the copper valve end fully into the liquid, keep the open hose end in your receiving vessel below the fluid level, and shake the valve rapidly up and down until liquid flows automatically. Always verify the hose material suits the liquid being moved.
