Video Transcript for Feature Review TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump for Gas Cans

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this TeraPump battery-powered fuel transfer pump for gas cans. This battery-operated pump is going to let you transfer fuel from your gas can to your car, mower, boat, ATV, snowmobile, generators, and more with no funnels and virtually no spilling and no lifting required. So it's gonna be perfect to have on hand in your garage, in your shop, have around in your yard or farm and on the dock. Now this pump is compatible with non-corrosive liquids such as gas, non-potable water, kerosene, diesel, or light oils. However it is not compatible with thinners or solvents, hot water, drinking water, acetone, benzene, cerosol, ethyl, phenol, methyl ethyl, concentrated caustic liquid soda, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. So why do you need a pump like this Well, some gas cans can have safety features such as what you see here on the nozzle of this gas can which are good and which are helpful but sometimes they can make it more difficult to pour your fuel out and sometimes it can be quite messy.

So this pump is going to bypass all of that. So I've got another can here and I'm just gonna go ahead and remove the cap. And so all you have to do is stick this pump in the can just like that, and lemme zoom out here a little bit. and so with this pump, like I said, you're gonna bypass hassling with safety features on the gas can nozzle and this is going to let you easily pump that fuel from your can to wherever you're needing that fuel. So this is going to be a lot cleaner for you and a lot more convenient.

So lemme go ahead and remove my pump here and get this can out of the way. The intake, the measurement of the intake tube on this pump, so measuring from where this is going to be sitting in the can all the way down, we're sitting about 15 1/2 inches or so. I measured this earlier and the diameter is about 1 3/16 inches. So this is going to fit virtually all types of gas cans and this is going to be a very simple operation. This has a power switch right here on the top that's going to activate the pump.

And this is powered by two AA batteries. So let me open up the panel there and this does not include the AA batteries, so if you are in need of them, we also carry those AA batteries here at etrailer.com. Now our discharge hose measures right at about 24 inches long overall and this has a transfer rate of 2.8 gallons per minute. And as you probably already noticed, this has a holder here to hold the discharge hose when it's not in use so it's going to keep it out of your way and make it a little bit more portable, as well. Speaking of portability, the pump size is going to be very easy to transport and store.

The overall height from top to bottom is right at 21 inches tall. And then the head of the pump, where it's gonna be basically sticking out from the can, we're sitting right at about 6 inches tall overall and the width is about 1 3/16 inches wide. Now instructions are included and this is a a great little pump. However, I have a recommendation for you on a pump that I would prefer over this one. It's virtually identical in every way. The gallons per minute is a little bit lower. This one is sitting at 2.4 gallons per minute. The one that I'm recommending over the one that we have here on the table, it sits at 2.8 gallons per minute. But the reason I like this one is it does have an auto stop sensor, so you're not gonna have to worry about possibly overflowing the receptacle that you're putting, transferring fuel to. And it also has a locking clip on that discharge nozzle, giving you virtually a hands-free experience when you're transferring fuel. So if you are interested in that one, I do have our item number on your screen. Just take that item number and put it in the search field of our website here at etrailer.com and it will take you to that pump with the auto stop and the locking clip on the discharge nozzle. 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..
