TERA PUMP Next Gen Automatic Gas Caddy Fuel Transfer Pump with Auto-Stop Sensor for Overfill protection, 2.6 GPM, 14-Gallon Gas Caddies, 3 Power Options, 9.8 ft Vinyl Hose (Gas Caddy Not Included)

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.

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.

Excellent & convenient

no more funnels or spilled gas! works great.

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.

J'aime beaucoup facile à utiliser sans dégât
