TERA PUMP manual fuel transfer pump siphon — 5 GPM flow, 26.5" discharge hose, PE plastic

TERA PUMP Durable Manual Fuel Transfer Pump is a hand-operated siphon designed to move gasoline, diesel, light oils and many solvents quickly and safely without power.

This compact manual pump uses siphon action and a simple squeeze mechanism to transfer liquids between containers. Built from sturdy PE plastic, it resists common fuels and many household solvents while remaining lightweight for storage or emergency kits. With a flexible suction tube and long discharge hose, it fits a range of jerry cans, gas cans, and equipment tanks so you can pour or empty fluids without bending, lifting, or spills.

How fast does the TERA PUMP move fuel?

The pump delivers an efficient flow so routine transfers are quick. Expect roughly 5 gallons per minute (about 12.1 liters per minute) under normal hand-pumping conditions, making it practical for draining common 3- and 5-gallon containers.

• Rated flow: approximately 5 GPM (12.1 L/min).
• Suction tube: 15.3 inches long and flexible for reaching into narrow openings.
• Discharge hose: 26.5 inches to direct flow into tanks or funnels safely.
• Suitable for draining 3–5 gallon cans quickly.

What liquids can I use this siphon pump with?

Made from polyethylene materials chosen for chemical resistance, this pump handles a wide range of common liquids. It is suitable for kerosene, diesel and light oils, gasoline, many light solvents, toluene, non-potable water, certain alcoholic beverages, and many chemical insecticides—although always verify chemical compatibility for aggressive solvents.

• Compatible: diesel, kerosene, light oils, gasoline, light solvents, toluene.
• Also works with non-potable water and many liquid insecticides.
• Avoid strong corrosives or unfamiliar chemicals without testing.
• Not intended for potable water supply or food-grade transfers unless specified.

Do I need power or special tools to operate it?

No electricity or batteries are required—the pump relies on manual siphon and squeeze action. A top-mounted release button starts or stops flow, and the ergonomic grip makes repeated transfers manageable without tools or adapters for most cans and tanks.

• Hand-operated: no batteries or power needed.
• Easy on/off control with a release button on the pump head.
• Works with common fuel containers and generator tanks.
• Simple to clean and store after use.

How durable and user-friendly is the construction?

Constructed from resilient PE plastic, the pump resists dents and many chemical exposures while remaining lightweight. The bendable suction tube and long discharge hose reduce spills and let you position the outlet precisely; the pump mechanism is straightforward for occasional or frequent users.

• Durable PE construction for everyday and emergency use.
• Bendable suction tube for tight openings and awkward angles.
• Compact and portable for storage in vehicles or tool kits.
• Designed for repeated use with easy maintenance.

Who is this for? If you move small to medium volumes of fuel or solvents regularly—or need a reliable, non-electric backup for emergencies—the TERA PUMP siphon is built for homeowners, mechanics, racers, RV owners, boaters, landscapers, and anyone who refuels generators or power equipment. It’s an economical, low-tech tool that reduces lifting and pouring, lowers spill risk, and fits a wide array of containers and liquid types when used as recommended.
