Electric petrol siphon pump

[k14]

I saw these used at the track a few months ago and when I couldn't find any for myself I decided to buy a few in.

In short they are a battery operated siphon. The suction end is thin enough to fit in plenty of spaces, namely fuel cans and tanks. It is great for me for racing, I can use it to empty the tank after a race. Also it greately reduces the amount of petrol I spill when I am transferring it from the can into the jug/tank. Can also be used for pretty much any other "non-corrosive" liquids, whatever you can think of ;) It pumps roughly 5-6 litres a minute, pretty quick compared to the good ole hand siphon pump :)

They don't come with batteries so require 2 D size batteries to operate. I would say that one set would last a long long time though!

Price is $40 per pump and $5 courier (for up to 3 pumps).

I've got some fairings and a tank to fix after the latest mishap at Levels so buy a pump and help out a racer :oi-grr:

These are really handy and surprisingly fast at pumping, well worth the price!

Buy one of these and you'll never have to buy petrol again :rofl:
(just batteries)

Is the suction pipe flexible? It'll need to be to get inside the tank on my bike.
If it is I'll take one

A little bit, it is solid plastic but you can bend it a little. I have tested it on GSXR600/1000 from K6 to present, SV650 and CBR600/1000 tanks and they are all able to work on them. I can send one up and if it is unusable I can refund and get it back off you sometime?

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it will work. I just tried sticking a bit of 1/2 inch polythene down the tank and that was a struggle.

They are supposedly able to pump diesel. I haven't tested it but can't see any reason why not. It says "any non-corrosive liquid" so I think it would be ok although I have only tried petrol and water.

Ah yes, but I don't think the diesel will work in his bike, if you get what he means...

Good one! Just don't go and tell everyone if it craps out :msn-wink:

Bump :) Still got a few left!

haha, nah bro, but stupid R6 tank has got a main opening about the size of a 10c piece! Will be giving it a bit of a shave when the tank comes off to bolt on the new sub frame I've got coming from the US :)

Gah, that sucks. Well at least you can use it for putting the petrol in. You could try and get a piece of hose that will fit down and somehow attach it to the end of the pump. Might try do something like that for my bucket.
