can i use it to pump out old gas?

That is what this is meant for using it for. As long as the old gas is still liquid with no sticky consistency it works great! I found this unit does a wonderful job and is safe to use also...

According to the instructions that came with it you should be able to siphon gas from the tank. However, as of now I have only used the sump for removing oil from the Engine and it works well for this job. I have not as yet tried to siphon gas with it so I can't answer how efficient it is for that purpose.

Yes. It uses the standard propane tanks that might exchange or refill at your local gas station.

yes yoill can. I had a 12 volt pump for mine it will save alot of cranking.It makes it so easy

It depends. You could use it but it does leak a bit after each run so there could be a moisture prob if it runs a lot. How often does their current pump run? If there current pump rarely runs it would be okay. If it runs a lot I wouldn't do it due to the noise and moisture

Yes, I think it would work very well for that. I used mine to remove gasoline from a snow blower at the end of the season. In case you are unsure of its size, the pump is 24 inches long and the attached hose is 24 inches long.

You could use a generator. Just make sure the generator is in a well ventilated area since it runs on gas.

I actually use it to ppump gas from a 15 gal drum to my truck, works great. Also used it to pump gas out of a tank for maintenance. One time I had to give it a little suction to start but most times not

I wouldn't. Two reasons: One, this pump moves a small volume of fluid. Good for bleeding brakes but moving gallons would take a long time and you would have to empty the small container many times. Two, the tubing and container are all plastic and I'm not sure if they would react with gasoline or not. Plus, there would be a lot of combustible fumes escaping. Could be dangerous. Modern gas doesn't last long without stabilizers in it, so if it has been in the car long, it isn't worth recovering. If you have to, marine supply stores have rubber bulbs for priming fuel lines. They can be used to safely start a fuel siphon.

yes you can , but this pump is too big for that kind of job . i think you are better off with an electric submerge one.

It would work. But I think u should go to 500 gph or higher. These pumps were made to pump short distances

Yes it can be used, just make sure the piston rings are above the exhaust port, and the crank is locked when you pressure up.

Sure could. Easy day. Fill it up then take it to the auto store for disposal

Yes. I have used this pump to replace my burned out pump now for almost a year. This is a strong pump,well worth the price- no problems.

There is no technical reason why you can't but I don't use this pump in that capacity. I used it for casting silicone and latex degassing. Next application was to make a vac bag for wood veneer. Its fairly inexpensive, I suggest you buy it.

You could, but note cars post 2000 have anti-siphon gas tanks...it became common knowledge in the NE after Super Storm Sandy. Also, the longer the hose the harder it will be to prime the pump and you could burn it out.

i would not use it for fuel. mainly because you will be pumping fumes out and I consider that a fire/explosion hazard.

I used it to pump excess gasoline out of my small generator, but I imagine it would pump water out of a fountine.
