Customer Rating: Summary: This thing works great Comment: This Flotool works excellent. Just a fdew shakes and the gas or water is flowing. I use it to fuel my boat and its very easy to use and no spills. No gas in the mouth with the old types of siphon hoses.
Thanks for a great product.
Hopkins FloTool 10801 Shaker Siphon with 6' Anti-Static Tubing Customer Rating: Summary: I think I wasted my money Comment: I bought this to transfer gasoline out of my motorcyle to a gas can for fueling up my yard tools around the house - lawn mower, weed eater, blower etc.
The problem is, you have to insert the "shaker" end into the gas tank and then shake the hose to get the fuel to flow. When I tried to do it, the metal lip of the gas tank started gouging into the hose, and scraped of pieces of it which then flaked off into my gas tank. Also the shaker end got caught in the tank and I had to spend several minutes manipulating the hose around to get it out.
I suppose it would work well if you were transferring gasoline from a gas can to the actual yard tool - but why not just pour it in? At this point, I would be afraid to stick it in the tank of my S10, my other source for yard equipment gas, because it might end up stuck. I ended up taking the shaker part off and just used the hose to siphon the gas :(
