Best Hand Fuel Pumps of 2025

"I recently purchased the HORUSDY Multi-Use Siphon Fuel Transfer Pump Kit for Gas Oil and Liquids, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. I decided to test the pump by using it for a transmission fluid change on my Ford Explorer 4th generation, and I was amazed at its performance. The pump worked flawlessly and efficiently transferred the fluid without any spillage. Its versatility makes it a practical choice for any DIY project. Overall, I highly recommend this pump for its excellent performance and convenience."

"I was in need of this transfer pump for some differential work, but fate had other plans. I ended up using it to transfer gas out of a vehicle for an in-tank fuel pump replacement. The pump worked well for my project, but a week later, when trying to use it for the differential project, it would not work—sounded like it was just huffing air. It seems the gas deteriorated the internal seals. Initially, it moved a good amount of fuel quickly, but I’m considering this a one-time use pump due to the failure."

"I used this pump to get stale gas out of my boat, managing to extract about 4 gallons. However, after leaving it out for about two weeks, the red hose turned pink and got soft, making it unable to pull a vacuum. This showed me that long-term exposure to gasoline or sunlight can degrade the pump quickly. I’d still consider it a safe way to transfer gas, but you need to drain it between uses. It's important to note that this pump requires manual pumping for flow, so it’s more of a suction pump than a siphon."

"I needed this siphon to transfer fuel from my generator, and it went smoothly with virtually no spillage. I was pleasantly surprised by its performance!"

"Using this siphon for my house plants has been a game-changer. I can withdraw excess water without moving my heavy pots, and it pumps well, even if I have to manually pump it."

"While it was easy to assemble and worked fine, I faced some minor issues. The hose end would float sometimes, affecting its ability to siphon fluid. However, when it worked, the flow was adequate."

"I absolutely loved this pump! I took gas out of my motorcycle tank that I had filled before the cold set in, and there wasn't a drop left inside. I also used it for my lawn mower. It's a fantastic item to have!"

"After Hurricane Milton, I used this pump to transfer gas from a can to my generator. It worked like a charm! I was also able to empty my tank for storage and transfer gas to my car. It's super easy to use! The AA-D Adapters included are a clever touch for emergencies. I struggle with physical tasks due to spinal surgeries and oxygen use, but this allowed me to do the work myself without needing to ask for help."

"This pump made it so much easier for me to fill my lawn mower. I no longer have to struggle with a heavy 5-gallon gas can. I just insert the pump into the gas can, place the nozzle in the mower's tank, press the button, and it pumps the gas effortlessly! It's good quality and well worth the price. I plan to give this as a Christmas gift!"

“I find this siphon works much better than the rubber bulb pumps, especially for dirty water. It's definitely worth the price.”

“While it’s a bit slow to start, it does the trick for my occasional use. I just wish the straight part was a bit longer for 5-gallon containers.”

“I've used similar pumps before, and I had to add a foot of hose to reach my truck's radiator. It worked like a charm. I appreciate the convenience of delivery from Amazon, even if it costs a bit more.”

"I was initially worried about using this device, but it's incredibly easy! It operates quietly and quickly transfers gasoline. I used to stress about my riding mower overflowing, but now it stops automatically when full. No more gasoline on my hands!"

"I've had two of these pumps over four years, and I'm about to buy my third. They usually work flawlessly for two years, but humidity affects the battery compartment. I've noticed that if I don't empty the hose, gas seeps out. Some reviews mention fit issues with gas cans, and I agree it's a broader industry problem, not just with this product. I'm willing to replace it every couple of years."

"This pump has been a game changer for my gas and diesel cans. At my age, not having to lift heavy cans to fill my skid steer and lawnmower is a dream come true!"

“I needed a high-quality siphon that was reliable and easy to use. After using it once to move 10 gallons of gasoline, it worked flawlessly. The hard plastic tube and soft end with spring made it simple to operate, and the fuel filter was a nice touch. Although it was on the pricier side, I can see where the money went.”

“This siphon works like a charm. I had to reorder because the first one was missing a part, but the return process was smooth. I needed it to remove fuel from my backup generators after Hurricane Milton. The weighted end ensured it stayed at the bottom of the tank, and the shutoff valve made the job safer and minimized fuel loss. It’s definitely a good idea to keep one at home and one in the car for emergencies.”

“I’ve tried numerous pumps for siphoning gas, but this inexpensive little pump works great. It’s surprisingly efficient and does the job quickly without making a mess. I’m really satisfied with this purchase and don’t feel the need to look for anything better.”

"I have a diesel heater in my shop that requires filling every day or two. This pump has eliminated the awkward filling process! Just open the cap, place the nozzle in, and hit the fill button. My only concerns are the lack of a positive shutoff and the short hose, but overall, I'm pleased."

"I've only used this pump once with the 12v adapter, and it worked perfectly! I transferred about 5 gallons of diesel in just a couple of minutes. The long hose made it easy to fill my tractor without spills. I'm thinking of buying another for my other gas cans."

"This is my third pump purchase. After two cheaper options failed, I invested in this one. It worked well initially, but the batteries drain quickly. I recommend using the power cord instead. The seller was very responsive and helpful when I had issues."

"I purchased this to avoid lifting a 5-gallon gas can for my lawn mower, but I ended up using it in an emergency to empty the gas tank on a truck. It moved the fuel quickly and cleanly. A very solid purchase!"

"This pump gets a grade of C+. It gets the job done, but you get what you pay for. I've used it for 10 gallons of petrol so far, and while the shaft doesn’t quite reach the bottom of my jerry cans, it gets low enough to remove most of the gas. It leaks a bit at the base, but a rag fixes that. The transfer speed is perfect; it took about 1.5 minutes to drain a 5-gallon jerry can into my car. Not perfect, but I would recommend it."

"When I first received the unit, I found that one of the AA battery holders was not built properly, making it useless. However, it worked fine with two D batteries. I used it to fill the diesel tank on my Kawasaki Mule, and it was much easier than holding up a five-gallon can."

"I'm thrilled with this pump! It works exactly as described and has made transferring liquids fast and hassle-free. I’ve used it for both water and fuel, and it handles both without any leaks or issues. Plus, it’s lightweight and the battery-powered design is incredibly convenient."

"I’m really happy I bought this pump. It operates just like it should, without making a mess. No more drips on the floor while filling up, even with tough access fill spouts for fuel tanks. It's truly no mess and no fuss!"

"This unit is nice, but I wish it didn’t spill fuel when switching tanks. It can be a bit messy. However, I appreciate the battery options, especially during hurricane Beryl when finding D-cell batteries was tough. The 2.2 GPM rate is accurate and saves me from bending over with heavy gas cans!"

“I purchased this to remove leftover gasoline from two generators and a lawnmower after the season ended. The quality is good, and the pump performance is adequate for smaller jobs. Its size is perfect for my needs, and I found no leakage.”

“Using this for the first time was a pleasant experience. I followed the instructions and noted the fluid flow direction, which made it easy. I managed to siphon out old sour gas from a pressure washer in about 60 seconds. I highly recommend this siphon; it's reliable compared to others on the market.”

“I was disappointed when I had to return the product because the pump was of poor quality and didn't work. Additionally, I received only one hose instead of the two shown in the picture, and all metal clamps were missing. The product description was misleading.”
