    Why did you cut it at 2:33? That was the part I needed to see. Did you fill the bulb?? what did you do? At what point did you take your finger off top. Can't use this....

    Glad to find your video, I bought the same siphon several years ago and used it once. I couldn’t get it to work today until I watched this and saw you folded over the short end and pinched it to close. I’d been holding my fingertip to the opening and apparently wasn’t getting it air tight, so not getting suction initiated.

    OK.. But at what point do you take your thumb off the other end? I'm trying to take oil out of the oil tank in my lawn mower. The Siphon sucks the oil perfectly until it gets to the black ball thing, then it stops moving. When I take my finger off, the oil starts going back into the machine.

    Thank you, Paul. That’s what I was looking for is just a simple, how to use this bulb siphon. I also couldn’t figure out how to use it. Plugging one end and pushing air into the liquid. Makes sense. Displacement!

    used same exact siphon pump to replace AT Fluid and it gave me some headache because the pipe is so hard it would make it difficult to hold it in the same position in a tiny tank and it would pop out each time I would try to arrange the lower other end of the pump's pipe

    you should do one for differential gear oil changes... thicker and heavier.. Reason you might need this for the front is the drain plug is always seized and you can extract the gear oil from the fill plug port using this siphon which I might try. Im gonna try with motor oil first just to practice ...

    My local hardware store carries that same pump and the online reviews are really bad. I think the bad reviews are largely due to people not using it the right way thinking that you need to pump the liquid rather than just prime it and let is siphon. Thanks for the video, very helpful 👍🏼

    To weigh down the end, I punched a small hole in the end of the feeder tube, used a very small cable tie, and attached a sturdy metal nut. Make sure it's all done properly as the last thing you want is to lose a nut inside your gas tank!

  • @BeastmodeBeats
    @BeastmodeBeats 4 роки тому +1

    Use this for your transmission, siphon mtf fluid, set the long part of the tube higher and sit the small part into the fill plug 🔌, poor from the top, just add 1 quart or less, but never empty the entire transmission or the car won’t move out of neutral because it has to adjust to the new fluid’s viscosity. So just add transmission fluid after a course of good driving years.

    open it.....Here's a link so you can see it. Any feedback would be
    great if you have used a similar pump. I need to siphon old gas out of
    my car that's been sitting a long time.
