TERA PUMP5th Gen TRFA01 Fuel Transfer Pump with Overfill Protection (2.7 GPM) Universal Gas Can Adapter, 39.4 inch Vinyl Hose, Liquid Transfer Pump for E15, E85, Gas, Diesel & More

Our local grocery store started offering discounts on gas based on grocery purchases - substantial discounts. But, limited to 20 gallons of gas. My car only holds 14 gallons when near empty so I was leaving $12 or more on the table everytime I filled up with points. I had an old 6 gallon tank and got the bright idea of putting 14 gallons into the car and the remaining 6 into a red gas can. Wonderful idea until I tried to pour gas from the 6 gallon can into the small spout of the car... and had gas dripping all over. What a mess. I got it done, but holding 6 gallons in the air gets tiring after awhile. I wondered about a pump and found this one advertised. I ordered it and received it about 2 days later (very fast shipping). I had to add 4 batteries (AA cells) to the control module. The pump is sized to screw onto 4 different openings of gas cans. Unfortunately, my real old plastic can was not one of the supported sizes. I hung the pump in the opening and tried pumping into my car. It really worked! I could see (and hear) gas surging through the translucent tubing. In about 2 minutes I had pumped almost all of the gas from the can into the car. No gas was spilled in the process. I was so impressed, I went to my local farm and home store and bought a new 6 gallon plastic gasoline can ($14). One of the included adapters was a perfect fit. Now the pump is screwed into the new can and it looks real slick. Looks aside, the performance is what impressed me. There is a grey plastic pump (think the size of a squat cigar) that has rotating blades on the end. This impeller sucks up the gas and forces it through the tube into your cars tank (or tractor, or snow blower, or pressure washer, etc) when the "on" button is pressed. Gas continues to be pumped until you push "off" or the sensor on the tip of the nozzle detects gas flowing back. This is going to be perfect for filling the tractor where the pump nozzle can be clipped vertically to the fill tube for the tractor (or other yard implements). Gone are the days of pouring gas from a can, through a funnel, into a snow blower tank only to have it bubble out and make a huge mess when the tank filled sooner than expected. Now, leave the gas can on the floor and pump it right into the snow blower & let it stop when the tank gets full. When done pumping, hold the nozzle up high (in case any gas is left in the tube can drain back into the tank) and insert the nozzle into a hold on the side of the pump. This keeps the nozzle high (prevents dripping) and clean.While it calls for 4 AA batteries, this pump uses them in parallel. It can actually run on just 2 AA batteries but I think it pumps faster when all 4 are used. I wondered why they didn't use C or D cells, but that would have made the pump housing much bigger. So this works well.Operating temp range is cited to be 5C to 45C (41F to 113F). I keep this in my garage where temps can get down to about 10F. When I tried it, it worked fine. I don't have a lot of experience using it with low temps though.I was also wondering how much gas this pump would leave in the gas can. Turns out, not very much. I removed the pump and poured the remaning gas into my car - I'd guess it was about 1/3 to 1/2 cup that the pump did't get - probably because I didn't tilt the tank so the gas settled in a corner along with the pump.This review is based on my initial impression which is very positive. I can return to update this review as I gain additional experience with the pump through rest of this winter and the seasons yet to come.

I love the quality, function and ease of use of these pumps. They work really well it makes gassing up the boats and snow blower a breeze. They are very easy to use and they fit my 5 and 6 gallon fuel cans perfectly.I normally keep my fuel cans in the garage but the one time I accidently left the gas can out overnight a squirrel or chipmunk chewed through the hose, which you cannot replace or repair. Lesson learned. I love mine and wouldn't use any other pump.

I really love it when a product completely solves a problem for me. I have a diesel powered utility tractor that we use around the property. Since we do not have a diesel storage tank on site, I bring the fuel home in 5 gallon cans. In order to fill the tractor it requires hefting the can up to shoulder height and then holding it that way as the tank is filled. This is extremely inconvenient and I have been looking for an easy way to fill the tractor. On occasion I have actually pulled it onto a trailer and hauled it to the local gas station. With this pump, I simply put it in the 5 gallon diesel can, place the can on the floor of the tractor and in a couple of minutes have got a full tank. I have seen a number of negative comments which caused me to have second thoughts about whether I really wanted to order this product. One reviewer complained that the automatic shut off did not work. Mine works flawlessly. Initially I actually thought it was malfunctioning and had shut off prematurely but when I looked in the filler pipe I realized that the pump filled the tank so quickly that it simply shut off before I realized it was full Several reviewers have complained that the pump "leaks". It actually does not leak. There is an anti-siphon hole in the bottom of the pump which, if mounted correctly, would be located inside the neck of the gas can. The purpose of this is to break the suction to prevent siphoning if the can is at or above the vehicle fuel opening. If it were not for this hole, fuel would continue to siphon out of the fuel can even after you shut the pump off. When the pump is running, as a result, some fuel will splash out of this hole. If the pump is properly installed on the gas can you will never even know it because it goes right back down into the can. The instructions clearly state that you should not try to use the pump unless it is screwed into the gas can. If you simply try to place the siphon tube in the can without screwing it on, fuel will splash out of the anti-suction hole and make a mess. All you have to do is follow the instructions and it works fine. One reviewer complained that the hose was too short. Well, yes if you have a boat you cannot leave the gas can on the dock and expect to be able to fill the tank of the boat. I do not think that is a reasonable expectation. That is not what the pump is designed for. The hose is plenty long to reach the average fuel inlet on most vehicles. Is the fact that you have to use one of the included adapters a problem? For me not at all. I leave the pump mounted on the can in between uses. There is a socket on the pump housing to place the nozzle in order to keep it clean when you are not using it. It is true that it does not provide a completely spilled proof seal however none of my fuel cans have a spill proof seal anymore since they started putting those ridiculous safety spouts on them. Every single 1 of them has malfunctioned.In short, this is a $59 fuel pump not a multi-thousand dollar fuel transfer system. I think it does an excellent job for the price and if you have lawn equipment that you regularly refill from an unwieldy 5 gallon can, this is a very good solution. I cannot comment on the longevity or durability of the product since mine is relatively new but if it does show premature failure, I will be certain to post an update to this review.
