Product Description
For the past 40 years, The Original Safety Siphon is widely regarded as the best siphon in the world that does not require electricity. Just a few shakes are all that is needed to start the siphon. As they say, "It works like Magic."
We are proud to say, "The Original Safety Siphon is 100% made and manufactured here in the United States."
Simple, Safe & Convenient
Perfect for homebrewing, wine making, automotive purposes, gardening and irrigation, the Original Safety Siphon does it all! Depending on the siphon size, the self-priming pump can transfer up to 10.5 gallons of water per minute, making this a safe alternative to traditional siphons.
Like the best tools, The Original Safety Siphon is both SIMPLE, SAFE, and CONVENIENT. SIMPLE - because it relies on gravity for its operation. Simple in its lack of complex, moving or perishable parts. SAFE - because all the dangerous and unpleasant aspects of siphoning are eliminated. A simple vigorous pumping action starts the siphon flow instead of sucking it out with your mouth or hands. It does not need or should never be placed in the mouth. The Original Safety Siphon reduces the risk of spilling or inhaling the fluid. CONVENIENT - because you no longer have to hold and pour heavy fuel cans.
-
How To Use:
1. Before using, drain all liquid from the hose.
2. The end of tube must be lower than pump before siphoning will start.
3. Submerge pump into liquid that is to be siphoned.
4. Move pump vigorously in an up and down motion. It is important the pump remain in the liquid at all times to start the siphoning. Once the flow starts, stop moving or shaking the pump as gravity will maintain the flow of the liquid. Once siphoning starts, keep the pump submerged in liquid.
5. To stop siphoning, remove the pump from the liquid.
6. Drain all liquid from the hose and clean thoroughly.
7. Store in a cool, dry place.

I often wondered why something so stupid remains in the market. Tree huggers who thought they had a win are screwed because the CARB compliant nozzles hurt the environment more.
Aha, enter the Safety Siphon to save the day! To empty a 5-gallon can of gas into a vehicle, just place the can on a small step ladder (3’ high). Feed the PVC hose into the gas filler pipe deep so that its exit is below the liquid level in the gas can. Open up the gas can, insert the action end of the Safety Siphon and off you go! Once flow is established just watch it work. At some point in the transfer, the flow slows. Just pick up the can, which is much lighter to complete the transfer by increasing the elevation difference. At the end, tilting the tank allows almost complete emptying. When the flow stops, lift the action end of the Safety Siphon and drain the gasoline retained in the PVC tube into the vehicle.
Such a simple device saves so much work and eliminates frustration.
drop the brass end in and the hose lower than the can & give it a few up n down shakes to lift the fuel
that can be easily seen in the clear tube, as the fluid is over the high spot in the tube it flows out into the tank.
EZ it was as ez as others said - so a nice surprise it works.
I might get another with a short tube to fill the dozer tank. [4' should do nicely from my can]
Flow was very fast!
