Super Siphon

TWO THUMBS UP!!!(ok, only 1 thumb up in the pic)

I already heard great reviews about this product... but i finally got to actually use mine. It worked flawless! I highly recommend it. A few jerks in the can and off the fluid went. It really traveled fast down the hose too. I was thoroughly impressed. I drained each 5 gallon can in about 1 minute flat!!!!!!! It's very nice to not have to pull the cans down and unstrap everything. Also, when at the gas station i just stand on the side and fill them too. They never have to move.

anyhoo.... i just wanted to give you guys some feedback on the product. Pick yours up today...

Second that. I used mine for the first time last week and could not believe how fast it drained the can.

Nice, thanks for the review. I was worry holding a 45lb can to load gas is not good for my aging back..... :jumping:

I thought it was good practice not to fill gas cans while they are on any vehicle. Something about static electricity and possible spark producing discharge?

Cheers,

I agree 100% that the super siphon rocks! I have not taken my cans off my rack since I've bought it. No more spilling or smelling like gas on the trail! :wings:

The only small complaint is the faint smell of gas if you re-stow the siphon in the vehicle right after you gas up. Easy fix, keep it outside for a while!

Yep, heard it a few times too, but never heard of anything 'actually' happening. I guess, im rolling the dice.

You can be a real rebel and talk on your cell phone while filling your tanks...

I might have to pick one of those up... I LOVE the idea of not having to hold the gas can up to refill the Jeep. Thanks for the review and link.

How about posing in a more adventurous location than the industrial park in your photo?

I have a super siphon as well and I like it, but I have a few cons to list. It loses its flexibility in cold weather. Also, they tend to leave a bit of fuel in the bottom of the can.

Yup, have to admit that I was very skeptical of something that comes in a package proudly displaying the "As seen on TV" cliché.
But it really works, had it for years with nary an issue.

For the smell: You can spin the tube around your head a few times an utilize centrifugal force to clean out the remainder of the fuel droplets.

Replace the tubing with Tygon and that shouldn't happen.

I did that for quite some time.. it still stunk for at least 24 hours afterwards. Im thinking a small burlap bag or something and toss it up on the roof rack. When we get home put it back in the rig.
