I can only guess at this time that it starts a siphon without the old fashioned method of lip suction. I'll have to pass on this one too.

Question - If the jerrycan is sitting on the ground is this siphon strong enough to transfer the water uphill into the trailer/camper? I currently have (15 years now) and use a drill-powered fresh water transfer pump. It transfers 6.5 gallons in seconds.

It will not siphon uphill. Like any siphon, it needs to be lower than liquid being siphoned. I used it with a 7 gal water container shown here when my back went out and I could not lift it. I use it all the time to empty a 55 gal drum of water into my cabin cistern in about 10 minutes. when I draw water out of the stream, I find a place that is at least level with the water and have no problems pulling it. I have also used it to siphon gasoline from my truck to a container for my lawn mower.

Thank you for the answer Dan. That won't work for us, but glad that it does for you.

Absolutely most handy tool in my tool box

A simple tool I have used for over 20 years that should be in everyone's water supply tool kit. I have primarily used this to transfer water from my 55gal water drums to my cistern at my cabin, but have also used it to pull water from stream/river pools and lake water to use for boiling wash water. If you don't have one, I highly recommend spending a couple bucks and just toss it in the "I'll be glad I have it when I need it" stack of stuff. It's one of those simple things you hope the guy...

I run my Honda on premium, always have even though the manual says you can use 87. Its only a gallon and if were going on a long trip and towing the Jeep I'll fill it with the same and siphon gas to fill the genny if needed. Run premium in the motorcycles too.

It sound alike flooding the choke may be an issue here. How does one "unflood" the choke? Siphon a bit out? Thanks. Lee-Ann
