This is a compact plastic fuel transfer canister with a host of advantages. First, the design eliminates completely leaks during refueling due to a built-in sensor that stops the flow when the tank is full. Second, the pump's 2.4 gallons per minute pumping capacity is enough to fill a passenger car's gas tank in 5 minutes - which is 3 times faster than any other model. The long 39-inch hose makes it easy to refuel equipment from a distance - boats, generators, tractors, ATVs. No more awkward poses and spilled fuel from the canister. The pump is compact and lightweight, conveniently stored in the trunk or on board. It's certified to US and EU safety standards. So you can trust it as your reliable friend.
