TRDP15 | Fuel Transfer Siphon Pump

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.

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

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.

I pumped 5W40 Synthetic Diesel motor oil from a 5 gallon container (cheaper that way) into a smaller 5 quart container with no problem. Just kept pumping about 15 or so Pump's. Better than pouring it out without the mess. Works great for transferring Diesel fuel as well.

Terapump TRDP15, Excellent Siphon Pump This is not my first Terapump TRDP15. I ordered my first in 2014. The first recently gave up from age and mis-use. When it first arrived I attempted to take it apart, only to find it is heat fused together. I did my best to put it together with fuel line sealant, but after two years it started to loose suction. Its a fantastic device for the money. I also have one of the cheap $5-8 siphon's from the local box store. The cheapie doesn't hold a candle to the speed and ease of operation of this siphon. The secret: larger, longer tubes. I've not timed the flow, but if it doesn't do 5 gallons in a minute it's darn close to it. I use it mainly to refill my generator with gasoline. As some might know if the generator stops unexpectantly the peanut gallery starts looking for someone to kill. I know how much fuel we use, keep an eye an the clock, let everyone know we'll be without power while I refill and all is slightly better. The peanut gallery is unhappy but not murderous. This device makes it faster and easier to refuel. Pouring fuel on a hot generator is downright stupid. My TRDP15 is the smart safe way to refuel. As long as I don't rush I don't miss a drop. Safer and cleaner. The instruction quickly go over the secret to safe operation. When you press the button on top, do so a bit before you want flow to stop. Those larger hoses hold a bit of fluid. Press before you want it to stop AND hold the button down till the exit tube is empty. Good luck. Be safe.

This pump is ok. It needs a better way to brake the siphon than a knob, a button would have been much better. The fuel it moves is truly large. You can put 5 gal in your car in about 1 min. Overall, I would'nt buy anothor one as it is jest to big for me, the siphon brake is hard to use and it needs a bag to put it in.
