TERA PUMP 5th 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

UPDATE... 07/06/2025: I just added another star (from 4 to 5 stars)... because as ridiculous as wiping-down this item (after every use) is crazy! I have never done it and the device is still working well. It's a little slower flow, but I think that is because my batteries are starting to fade. No leaks, no problems, EXCEPT the line (and suction-end) that goes inside the gas can be a bit difficult to get in and out of the gas can opening. It's almost like trying to squeeze (or pull) a 2.50 inch microphone through a 2.48 inch opening. So you will get gas on your hands every time you refill the gas can. It's not horrific unless you drive a really nice car, and use your gasoline soaked hands to drive your gas back home. One important thing to remember (after you are done using it)... is to LET OFF THE PUMP HANDLE/TRIGGER, TURN OFF THE POWER BUTTON... and then carefully hold the gas pump handle up and above the gas can while holding the pump handle lever in. Don't worry, (NO GAS WILL PUMP-OUT) BECAUSE YOU JUST TURNED OFF THE PUMP'S POWER. This returns the unused gas left inside the hose back into the gas can. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS... gasoline pressure can build-up (especially in summer heat with fresh gas). If you fail to do this, you will eventually notice the strong smell of gasoline around the location where you store your gas can. That's not a huge problem if you like the smell of gasoline, UNLESS you store it in an unventilated area near a water heater pilot light, or some other sparks or flames are nearby. __________________________________________________________________________ PREVIOUS PRODUCT REVIEW BELOW: I HAVE NOT (and will not) REMOVE & WIPE DOWN THE PRODUCT AFTER EVERY USE, but it's still working well, SO I ADDED A STAR. I'll try to update again after one year of use. This pump is a great idea and seems to work well, BUT I CANNOT BELIEVE they expect me to remove the device and wipe it down with a cloth AFTER EVERY USE. This sounds dangerous because you will obviously have gasoline on your hands, as well as gas vapors, and a gasoline soaked cloth to store or dispose of. Hopefully nothing sparks and you don't have any gas appliances in your garage, because a pilot light can ignite gas fumes or vapors. I sent the company an email to confirm "remove after each use" was what they are asking customers to do. They replied back quickly (which I appreciate) and said "we don't recommend leaving the pump in contact with gasoline due to the fumes possibly eating up the hose" and THAT they would get with their team to make sure the Amazon description states this in the future. I then suggested they just make all of the plastic parts from High-density polyethylene (HDPE) which is what plastic gas cans are made of... it makes sense to me anyway. Again, I really like this product (so far), but not-so-much if I have to come into contact with gasoline every time I use it. If that's the case, then it's probably not for me; because that gasoline smell stays on your hands quite a while, even after washing them several times with soap.

This pump works great. It screws right onto my VP Racing jug very simple operation quality hose and it has the automatic shut off. I am so glad that I bought it. Highly recommend.

I opened the box the TRFA01 and looked at the pump before me. The flexible hoses are clear and of good quality. The power motor is assembled at the end of the suction hose and attached securely. The pump wiring runs internally inside the suction hose from the body of the battery holder/control device. No wiring is exposed. The unit is lightweight and the adaptor caps are easily attached. Four AA batteries are required but not included. The discharge hose is firmly attatched to the battery box/control device. The output of the discharge hose is through a "nozzle" that should be into a recess in the body for safe storage. The nozzle contains a sensor to stop the pump when fluid touches the sensor in the discharge nozzle. All these connections and fittings are well made and professional. I installed my four AA batteries and ran the pump for a few seconds dry. I was surprised to find a noticeable discharge of air from the discharge hose. I shut down after this short test and packed the pump carefully away in it's shipping bag. This is exactlly what I was looking for! I have a diesel fueled truck, and I always carry a 5 gallon fuel can with me. I use these 5 gallon fuel cans every few months to allow for fresh diesel to be stored. Well at 72 years old, the darn 5 gallon cans are getting heavier! No really! Trying to stand for the five minutes it takes for a diesel can with no air bleed vent to empty is tiring for me. I don't like the smell of the diesel I spill down the side of my truck, or the soaking it sometimes gives my shoes. Trying to hold the safety nozzle turned and open is another feat of gymnastics my hands can no longer perform for the time required. I've used all kinds of gas cans, the 2 and 5 gallon round, the NATO military style with the 3 inch jug mouth with an attached flex spout, the 1 and 2 and 5 gallon plastic cans. Always managed to spill a few drops of gasoline, but nothing you couldn't wipe up with a rag. Then they decided this was unsafe and we consumers would be better served with these new safety caps that make it nearly impossible to refuel from any size of gas can. I have never spilled or wasted so much gas or diesel in my 60 years of dealing with gas cans! This battery operated pump is just what I need. I can elevate the can onto my vehicle doorstep and "PUMP" the fuel into my tank without spilling any amount. I can secure the empty can and then once home clean out the pump system, remove the batteries, and store it away for the next use. A few quick tips. Buy a 4 pack of good AA batteries and keep "buried" in your vehicle as spares. Elevate the gas or diesel can as high as you can before transferring the fuel. Pumping "downhill" goes faster withh less wear and tear on the pump. Avoid leaving in sunlight as this will "accelerate" the decomposition of the plastic hoses. Read the Instructions! Don't smoke! Vehicle should be off. Be safe not sorry!

Excellent & convenient

It works superbly, I am very pleased with it and am going to order a 2nd one.

Très simple d'utilisation et le tuyau se vide complètement lorsqu'on le soulève après avoir fait le plein. Pas très énergivore sur les piles. Pompe à bon débit et s'arrête automatiquement lorsque l'essence touche le capteur.

ممتاز جدا

J'aime beaucoup facile à utiliser sans dégât
