Any reason why this won't (lift) gas out of one tank to another tank ?

Extreme fire hazard, static electricity and the 12v electric motor can create a spark and ignite the fuel.

It explicitly says that it's only for oil and not gas. And that gas should not pass through the pump. I assume this is due to the liquid type it can handle with the thicker oil and not a watery gas.

Sorry about this confusion, I originally said yes, instructions say no, chanced of explosion.

my best guess is that gasoline is very combustable and drawing it through plastic hose could creat a static charge that could spark and ignite.I think it's a fire hazard!

Try turning the knob on the gas tank just one quarter turn not all the way open. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

Always drain the gas, unless you add the preservative, it is hard to drain, but it is. Small tank

This has happened to me also. The adapter hose you have is clogged. It may have received some dirt before/during assembly or your 20 lb gas tank has dirty gas. The hose will slowly fill allowing just enough gas to start, then it goes out. You have two options: 1) Find a propane dealer that can blow out the hose adapter for you: or 2) Buy a new hose from a sporting goods store or Wal-Mart. I took option 2.

I'm not an expert in this but I can tell you that the pump on my system is very quiet. There is a pressure switch that tells the pump when your tank is full. Either you haven't ran it enough to fill the tank or the pressure switch is not working (or needs adjustment). Have you tried iSpring customer service? They may be able to help

Katie you need to fill you gas tank and then add BG on top of that it will work its magic. You should notice the difference right away!

first make sure o rings are in place as instructed, could be not tight enough. You may be overfilling unit it is not four gallon it is 3 gallon in bottom tank. top tank is not a holding tank as far as I can tell because there are no rubber seals between them hope this helps

Make sure your gas tank vent is open.The filter has four connections, make sure you're flowing (in/out) the gas in the right direction to your motor.Try it without the filter element in it.How low is the filter from the motor connection?Is the squeeze ball on backwards? Check arrows on ball.Could it be that the filter is dirty?Mine is working like it should, I'm on the second season with it.Maybe I have a 30gal through put total, not much. It's on a 2006 9.9M 4s.J

I never try it before, but if you want use it to resolve your tank problem, i think you have to drain the gas tank before, for a better result.

I had a similar issue with a Rhino tank. However, mine would connect, but it leaked. I bought some yellow gas line tape and wrapped the connection on the tank 3 or 4 times - no more leak issues.

Yes, in fact the manual states is must be under the tank. Without at least a couple feet difference in height it can't get enough pressure to work properly.

My recommendation is to call a local supplier of gas. They should be able to explain how or suggest a technician you could call.

It can't shut off the gas because the gas isn't running through the scale. You have to do it manually.

Not that I'm aware of Dianne try checking the holes the gas comes out of you may have some rust particles partially blocking the holes on one or both jets. I hope that helps. Good luck

According to the instructions that came with it you should be able to siphon gas from the tank. However, as of now I have only used the sump for removing oil from the Engine and it works well for this job. I have not as yet tried to siphon gas with it so I can't answer how efficient it is for that purpose.

Were you trying to connect the stove with the canister upside down or tipped to the side? The canister must be completely vertical(threaded connector up). When I attached/detached my stove with the canister, a very small amount of gas came out but stopped very quickly.

I am not using the pump in that type of configuration. Suggest you look at the specs to figure this out.
