TRDP15 Heavy Duty High Speed Siphon Liquid Transfer Pump with Bendable Suction Tube System

I recently received my TRDP15 Heavy Duty High Speed Siphon to complement my survival gear, and I must say, I'm not at all disappointed. It's construction does feel "heavy duty" and it seems to be made from quality materials. It works pretty quickly, and is very simple to use. You put the straight tube in the liquid you want to siphon, and the flexible tube in the container you want to move the liquid to, give the bulb a couple of quick easy squeezes and viola...liquid's moving. I haven't yet timed it out to see just how much volume it can move in a given time period, but it looks to be pretty quick. If I knew before I bought it what I know now, I still would have. I would absolutely recommend the TRDP15 to any friend, family member, or random stranger who was looking for a quick, easy way to move liquids from one container to another. In fact, I intend to get another one for myself just as soon as I can.

I watched a YouTube video about how to transfer diesel from a 5-gallon container into your tractor. That person used a Jiggler siphon hose so I started looking at those. I then broadened my search and found the TeraPump TRDP15. After reading the reviews, I decided on trying it out and am totally satisfied. The pump requires 3-5 squeezes of the pump bulb before the siphoning effect begins. Once started, it will quickly drain a 5-gallon container. If the fuel tank on the tractor fills before the 5-gallon container is empty, simply push the button on top of the pump bulb to break the siphoning action. Quick, easy and clean. No more lifting the heavy container and spilling diesel all over the hood. Has held up well so far.

I bought this siphon even though the reviews were conflicting on whether it would work on small engine tanks like a lawn mower or snow blower. Some reviews said this was due to the long, wide draw tube and not enough gas in the tank to create and maintain the flow. Some said that shortening the draw tube would solve the problem. This made sense to me so I thought I'd give it a try. There was less than half a tank in my snow blower. The siphon didn't create a constant flow and I had to keep squeezing the bulb. I'm sure this was due to the amount of gas and size of the draw tube, but wasn't a big deal as it only took 4 or 5 squeezes to drain the tank. This was much better than the turkey baster I was using. The siphon didn't completely drain the tank and I used the baster to get most of the remaining gas. Shortening the draw tube might drain more gas, but I don't think it would be a significant difference. The manufacturer must have read the reviews that complained the siphon didn't come with instructions because mine did. Overall, I would recommend this siphon. I bought it specifically to drain gas from my lawn mower and snow blower at the end of the season. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the length and diameter of the draw tube is too long and wide to work perfectly on small tanks, but it does work, drains fast and got the majority of the gas. The turkey baster took me 15-20 minutes to drain the tank. This siphon took a few seconds followed by 6-10 fill ups of the the baster.

wow!! what a great product ... I had several small engine repairs to do .. and this product came in REAL HANDY.. it also was very useful to transfer gas from the gas can to the pick up truck since most gas cans no longer have the piece to fix inside your vehicles to transfer from can.. a 5 gallon can was transferred to pickup in 1 minute fast and effective .. I suggest getting one just to leave inside your car or pick up .. if you run out of fuel you may be able to buy the gas can at the gas station,, but then how are you transferring it .. great product!! ps there are no parts to corrode which is another added bonus

After watching this silly infomercial (you know the kind... where the people without the product are complete idiots) for a similar As Seen On TV syphon that was battery operated. I turned to Amazon to see if I could find it, because I never order from an infomercial. I found the ASOT item, but then realized there was a plethora of others. I decided on this one, because there were no batteries, and it's cheaper. I purchased 2, and gave one to my boyfriend. Boyfriend used it to syphon rain water off his pool cover, and it worked amazingly! I'm using it to transfer fuel from my gas can to the lawnmower, and without ANY spilling, or awkwardly trying to pour the gas into the tank. Where has this thing been all my life?! Highly recommend!
