REV-X Mega Syphon - 3/4" x 10 Foot Long Self Priming Safe Siphon Hose for Water, Gas, Fuel, Diesel

I read the negative reviews and would like to share my positive experience. Admittedly, I only used the siphon once so far, but it worked perfectly well. It was easy to start the siphon, and there was no issue with the check valve. For those complaining of the hose being shipped in a coil tighter than they would prefer, I would remind you that larger/more packaging costs more money to produce, store, and ship. It’s also bad for the environment. The instructions say to heat the hose in warm water if you would like to straighten it. This is hardly an issue to complain about. The product is made in the USA, where we pay a good wage, so the price is more expensive than the Chinese brands. It makes sense to support ourselves, so buy American and gladly pay a couple dollars more to support our economy. My only gripe is that the product information does not include the outer diameter of the hose and of the copper check valve. Also, I wish they made smaller sizes. I’d like to get one for gasoline, and this size hose is too large to fit in my car’s gas tank. Yes, I realize I can buy a smaller diameter hose and step down to the size I need. But that doesn’t change the fact that I may also need a smaller copper valve on the other end.

Got this to move diesel, moves 5 gallons in about 60 seconds. So far been worth the investment over a powered pump. Not a fix all but works great as designed

The hose has a Basic concept of use-right?!? The "ball" acts like a simple one-way "value" that opens and closes quickly as you jiggle the hose up and down-thus making/managing the suction-until gravity takes over. I purchased American for several reasons -and (paid more). I was expecting quality parts, construction, and better "engineering" AND quality control. This one misses on all marks!?!! The quality of the clear hose seems to be the cheapest, most annoying one they could find! The management of the hose itself can be a challenge! The hose fights you every step of the way!?! It tries to remain "coiled" at all times!?!! The "quality" of the fit and finish (yes I know it's a suction hose) is just sloppy the castings and attachments are just what you expect for a Cheap $3 china-made product?!? -(if you were careless you made this) -BUT THIS IS MADE In THE USA!????!! The biggest thing is IT DOES NOT WORK!!!! Really they can NOT manufacture basic simple tolerance for this to function?!?! The ball does move and water does start to fill ....But only the first 5 inches!!!!?? The ball stop jiggling!!! Thinking the ball just simply got stuck- I pressed it back "in" . The "ball" seemed to be moving freely without issues-until it start to attempt to draw water past about 6 inches!?!! Then it stopped over and over!?!!! -Returning this unit - I guess I will try the china made version at a much lower price?!? What the worst can it do?!? It will/could/may work?!!! Sad, I wanted to give the money and support to the USA!

A really unique and amazing product. The hose is durable thick and feels well built. The inside diameter is abour an inch, and lets plenty of fuel through. I use it to fill up my boat and it works great! It does however take a little getting used to as far as starting the syphon. You sometimes need to jerk it up and dorn forcefully to start the syphon fast and clear any air in the whose. The mechanism is super simple, only being a brass fitting with a marble inside to greate a one way check valve. The cons are that i wish it was a little longer 15 feet would have been perfect. Anyway a great snd unique product.

When the tank is full it's easier to start the siphon if it stop during the process it becomes tricky to start again.

It works as it should but the hose is too flimzy so you have to keep it smooth so it doesn't kink.

Works awesome, got tired of buying crap siphon hoses that either didn't work or broke quickly. Dang this one will siphon 6 gals in about a minute. I was worried going from the standard 1/2" hose to 3/4" may not fit and I was right I can get the exit end in my 2001 gmc tank but there is no way to get the siphon end in the tank. But that is not what i bought it for so im happy. If you are want to use it on newer cars and trucks buy the 1/2" version

Hate to write bad reviews yet I felt I had to. I hope you have better luck. For me I watched youtube videos on how to use it, that said container you are filling have to be much lover than the one its flowing out of. For me it worked only while I kept jigging, as soon as I stop the flow would stop too.

Arrived today and supplied in a basic but functional cardboard box. It looks ok with a brass "jiggle valve" and quality tubing. A couple of minor kinks near the output end of the tube. Nothing serious and probably will be removed by immersing in hot water as the very brief info. supplied suggests. The only problem I've experienced, so far, is that the ball in the valve gets stuck, probably caused by back pressure in the tube before the siphon effect takes over. I've found that if it stops jiggling, then pushing the ball in and trying again will eventually get the very impressive siphon working.

Es un buen producto, lo recomiendo.

Love this Siphon for draining excess water from my swim spa.

De lo mas malo que he comprado en Amazon.... de la peor calidad que hay,una vez nomas lo use y se desbarato.... No lo recomiendo para nada.....

Well as the picture shows, the Syphon end came completely off and to make it worse it came off in the tank! Brand new and 1st time using it. Hose also stays kinked. Wouldn’t recommend buying this product. Cost me money and far too much time to fish it out of the tank.
