I'm not going to complain about this fuel transfer pump for the $18 US dollars that it cost me from Ebay. Mine came with the 2 hose gaskets and a pair of hose clamps. I didn't use either just yet. I put the 2 D cell batteries in, pushed the hoses in place and pumped 5 US gallons of gas from a container on the floor into the filler on a Honda CRV. I timed the transfer at 4 minutes and 45 seconds with very minor leakage around the hose connections. I will eventually add the 2 clamps, or use a length of clear fuel tubing instead. All in all, this was better than pouring the gas from those over engineered gas can spouts that everyone hates. This was also better than pouring gas into a funnel, which still splashes all over. The best part was not having to lift and hold the 5 gallon container while it emptied! The instructions were on the box.... but didn't explain how to put the sections together, or how to use the gaskets. It did say this pump was good for gasoline, diesel, kerosene or water. It's probably not powerful enough to suck up and transfer oil. One word of caution: When done pumping fluid, hold the handle / nozzle end up in the air to let the fluid drain down, emptying the hose into your container.... or it will drain out onto the floor.
Leaks without the gaskets. Impossible to get gasket on and get the hose over top the gasket. No instructions and this video doesn’t even show the gaskets.
