Questions & Answers

Please tell me what the ID is. How many feet are there in five feet of hose?

The third eighth, I think

The metal lid of this container has a hole or not Is there a way to mount the lid to the pail so the fluid does not spill out when it is mounted? Are you sure?

The last time I looked at the lid may have been so long ago. My pail has just been changed to a pall and there has not been a spill. There will be no spillage unless the bucket is turned upside down. Whether or not there is a rubber ring, I don't believe it would prevent spillage from a bucket when it is turned over.

Do I need to use this for oil base paint or oil base wood stain? Are you sure?

Thank you for your interest, Fluid Film is the only thing I've used it for. No idea what kind of stain or paint to use.

Where is this counterfeit china made?

China doesn't manufacture anything we design but they sell a knockoff design in their own country. They sell knockoffs most commonly on eBay because they make the products for our markets but then sell them in their own country.

A crimp at the end of the hose has a leak
3/5

I can see that I are not the first to have this problem as someone else has the same issue as well. It has a crimped ferrule on the connection between the hose and the fill nozzle, which must not be crimped tight enough and enables whatever you're pumping to leak out. As I was pumping the material, I did not notice it. It only became visible after I hung the nozzle into the storage position, which is a hole in the lid in which to insert the nozzle. After I had created the connection, I noticed an oil puddle on the floor caused by the hose running down. Essentially, I am going to cut off the crimp Except for that, the device seems to be in good working order.

This is an excellent pump that is easy to use and very well built
5/5

It does a great job, no leaks, spills, drips or anything like that. The best pump of this kind I've ever used is well made and well made. A bucket of hydraulic fluid holds about 5 gallons and I pumped 10 gallons into my tractor in about 25 minutes taking my time. It pumps as much fluid as 3 ounces per stroke or around 200 strokes per 5 gallons. We are very pleased with the smooth and effortless operation, as well as the fact that the fluid is still moving Follow these tips If you are assembling the pump, make sure you use thread lock or some other sealer where the tube for mounting the hose screws into the pump body to ensure no leaks will occur there, and throw away the hose clip and replace it with a regular hose clamp. Also, don't forget to remove the black plastic cover from the end of the pump before using it To pump Valvoline VV 813 fluid, I used the middle hole on the handle. Kubota UDT fluid is similar to that used in that valve. I wish you all a good day! Pumps like this one are hard to find!.

A pump and a leak
3/5

We will use that pump to pump five gallons of Milsyn sXR 5w30 synthetic engine The first thing I noticed about it was that it is typical Chinese manufactured part. It pumps but the Piston jamb nut seal doesn't seal (it comes loose even after tightening it). There must be something wrong with the piston push rod due to the less than smooth plated finish. You'll have to lift the hose after pumping if there's no check valve, or use a 1/2 seal cap, like what In the end, we give them a middle of the road review and shake our heads about how we have failed to be responsible consumers by trading quality for cheap disposables that fill.

This is an item that you cannot do without
5/5

There are a couple of tractors which require the use of 5 gallon buckets of fluids at a time. If you work alone like I do, the task of collecting a bucket of fluid and slowly dumping into a funnel is tedious and can be messy. I bought this lever action bucket pump, which made the job so much easier. It is a shame that the cover plate that you see (blue) does not 'seal' flush against the bucket top, as I thought it might not fit properly. This is not the case. It's secured with three bolts that just need a handshake to secure to the bucket rim and stays put. None of these are messy, and you can I cleaned out the buckets in a flash. Pumping was a breeze and I had the pump primed in no time. There is a very very small amount left in the bucket due to the small lip on the bottom of the pump. We are very pleased with this purchase, and we highly recommend it.

It pumps the same as the rest but better
3/5

Specifically, I use it to pump Opti-Drop It is only suitable for use with diesel fuel additive. I was able to get it working for one. I have been doing this for five Fast and efficient pumping of fluids A clean way. A leak is not present. I noticed a strange problem last time I was filling a small container of additive. While I was moving the handle up and down, it was stuck. It is as if one of the seals inside the pump has become stuck. In my opinion, the seal ripped when I applied more pressure. In this way, the handle moves smoothly now with no fluid transferring to the handle. Resistance internal to the system is zero. Although this pump is designed to be used with many different automotive fluids, it did not last as long as I would have liked. The only pump that I've discovered that works as well for my purpose or lasts as long is this one. Therefore, regardless of how well or how poorly it performs, I will definitely purchase it.

No matter how cold it is, the pump pumps gear oil well
5/5

Having to replace our differential fluid in our pay loader was a hassle. Two can be held in each. The container is 5 gallon, so filling with the 1 qt bottles would take forever and would be a hassle. Because we bought this instead of similiar brands on Amazon a few years ago when we had replaced sleeves in diesels with OTC stuff. I like it more than the other ones because it produces a better quality image. As an example of this, I was able to adjust the lever so I could pump heavier gear oil with more force.

The only issue we had was with its very powerful pump, which blew away the hose when we used the wire hose clamp it came with. In less than three minutes, we filled each differential with 80w-100. We did replacement with a 1" screw type hose clamp and pumped away. Add 20% lucas to a 90/90 at a 10 degree temperature. It is not worth your money to buy a bucket pump. They are a waste of money and pump so little. Our previous ones have been thrown away, and we are only going to.

In a hurry- As owner of a commercial bakery, I purchase certain cleaning products five at a time Put every bit of it in 5-gallon buckets and haul it out as needed (such an amazing saving)
4/5

Pumps of this type work quite well for soaps (laundry soap, dish soap), but they do bring with them some shortcomings. It would be great if the manufacturer used stainless steel A number of components, especially those exposed to the highly corrosive and harsh materials being pumped, are made of steel. To make sure that everything has been wiped, we have to take the necessary measures. There is a bit of corrosion going on, so the water is going down. In addition, they are easy to operate and install.

This pump works well with thick liquids
5/5

The oil that I use for my 90w gears is this one. The pump does the job. There have been complaints about leakage in some reviews. Make sure the packing/shaft seal at the base of the piston is snug (mine was a little loose). This nut should not be Additionally, I used an extremely small amount of thread dope on the output. A leak of any kind has not occurred. The pump is much better than the cheaper ones. Having complaints about was a very minimal one, however. There wasn't a plug provided to cover the vent hole in the There will be some sort of bolt that fits under the pump to keep dirt or contaminants out when it is not in use.
