Video Transcript for TeraPump Manual Fuel Transfer Pump for Racing Utility Jugs Feature Review

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this Tera Pump manual fuel transfer pump for racing utility jugs. Now, this manual pump is going to let you transfer fuel from your gas can to your car, your mower, boat, ATV, snowmobile, generators, and more with no funnels and virtually no spilling and no lifting required. It's gonna be perfect for your garage, having it in your shop, having it for your yard, or your farm, and your docks. Now, this pump is going to be great to have at the race track because of the included racing can adapter that you see right here.

And this is going to fit various North American plastic utility jugs. And this pump is compatible with liquids, such as light oils, gas, kerosene, diesel, non-potable water, chemical insecticides, soaps, detergents, deodorants, mild acids, antifreeze, and liquid waxes. However, this is not compatible with acetone, drinking water, benzene, cresol, ethyl, phenol, methyl ethyl, concentrated caustic soda liquid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, thinners, or solvents. This does not fit FMD gas cans. So, why is having a pump like this useful for you Well, some gas cans can have safety features on the nozzle that can make it more difficult to pour fuel out, such as what we have here.

I've got another one here, just kind of an example as well. These safety features, while great, can sometimes cause an inconvenience in pouring fuel out. Sometimes can cause messes as well. So, with a pump like this, you're not gonna have to worry about that. All you're gonna have to do is remove the cap from your gas can and insert the intake hose of the pump.

And you're going to bypass all of those other hindrances, allowing you to transfer your your fuel out of that can. Now, this pump can be used without this racing can adapter. As you can see, this can be easily removed. And I've got another can here. Let me go ahead and go for a wide view here real quick.

And so, you can use this without that adapter. I just wanted to make you aware of the fact that the joint nut might not come thread on there perfectly. So, it can still be used but it just might not be able to secure on all gas cans. So, just so you're aware of that. So, let me go ahead and remove this, and go ahead and get this can out of the way. Now, our intake tube measures right at about 22 13/16 inches long. So, that should give you enough length to use in most of your gas cans. And then this does have a manual siphon mechanism as you can see right here. And to use this, you're just going to tighten this release cap. And then that'll allow you to create a vacuum to transfer the liquid and then just loosen the cap to stop the transfer. So again, tighten this up, start your pumping. And then when you're ready to stop and you need that fuel or liquid, whatever you're transferring to stop, you're just gonna loosen the cap and that's going to stop the transfer. Another nice feature of this particular pump is it does have a locking clip that's going to secure the nozzle on the receiving receptacle. So, that's gonna free your hands to pump. And so, you're not gonna have to worry about making sure this stays in the receiving receptacle. This discharge hose, by the way, measures, the total length here, it's going to measure a little over 50 inches. About 50 3/16 inches long. And this is going to transfer up to 3.2 gallons per minute. I'm gonna go ahead and put this racing can adapter back on. So again, this is gonna be a simple operation. And then you have a little holster here to put that discharge tube in to kind of keep it all put together. And this will include a little sheet of instructions as well. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
