does the pump tube bend? trying get fuel out of lawn tractor.

I use the pump all the time to move water and the tube has never bent. It has some flex to it, but stays firm.

This would be to big for a lawn mower this is a solid pipe long enough to fit in bottom of a 55 gallon drum

1) why not loosen the hose that takes the fuel from the tank to the engine and stick the hose end into a small bucket. In a short time the tank will be empty.2) The long rigid tube is PVC plastic. If you need to change the angle or otherwise put a kink in it, then just cut it and use whatever PVC plumbing fittings needed to implement the change. Likewise, any home supply store or hardware store or Amazon will have vinyl tubing in various sizes. Use a piece of the tubing to splice the tubes back together where you cut them.

Its pretty rigid. It bends a little more then PVC, but not much.. The out tube, yes, thats very flexible, but the suction tube is somewhat rigid. Hope that helps.

make sure all seals are tight and the hose is connected properly to pump and fill tip. worse comes to worse use a bike pump or air mattress pump. be careful with the last idea. have some one hold a yard stick next to bosu while inflating and when good height have pin ready to go in as you pull hose

yes, i just checked for you. the part that screws into the pump is a one way valve so the air isn't released.

No, it's a fine thread going into the pump. You could probably get an adapter at Home Depot.

I try to keep it upright in my pocket. The fuel is in the bottom piece and the filament is in the top piece. I don't know if NEEDS to stay upright but I would think that if it were upside down the fuel wouldn't feed the element properly.

My 24 HP Craftsman lawn tractor pulls it up some steep hills with little problem. Make sure the ground is not too wet. If you do slip, consider adding some weight above the drive wheels on the tractor.

90 degree bend on the manifold I used the straight connection for my Freon and vacuum pump

Yes, the soaker hose can bend. You can lay it out straight, in a curve, or in a circle.

A) Does your unit push air out when not connected to anything? If so, it sounds like a problem with your hose or something else on the unit. If not it has to be after the pump. Either the tire or the connection are at fault. B) Try pushing the metal pin in the valve stem to release pressure. If nothing happens you are either out of air or it's broken. It should flow air with little to no movement. C) If that worked it has to be the connection. Maybe they don't align anymore and can be bent, or maybe you have to buy a better adapter. I'd get something like this(http://amzn.com/B001CJHU9W).

I had a crack on the top of my garden tractor fuel tank that has held for quite some time. A Kubota dealer would not service the tractor unless I had the fuel tank replaced (several hundred $'s). I used J-B Weld, sanded it and painted it. Not only has it solved the problem; but the dealer never noticed it was repaired!

It should just screw out. Apply WD40 or Fluid Film to it and let sit for a couple of hours. Fluid Film is the best, works wonders. You can get it at a John Deere dealer or other tractor dealership.

Yes, it is. It attaches at the centerline of the tube, then is bent to the outside. The style did not work for my lawnmower tire/rim setup. Please be sure you need a bent stem setup or you'll run into problems.

Thats odd. I use a standard bike pump to air our tires. Maybe you have the wrong attachment on your pump?

I've used this to transfer fuel and it worked well. However, make sure the tubes are inserted firmly because the pressure can cause the exhaust tube to fall off and thus cause fluid to spill all over. In my case, it was gasoline..not fun!

No, the stainless steel is a fairly heavy gauge and would require quite a bit of force to bend. Even the small funnel is quite strong.

The one I got was vented (the cap has a screw type vent), but the fuel line did not swivel as advertised. Additionally, it does leak out of the fuel line during storage when going through temperature changes...I seem to have this problem with a completely different metal tank, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing (or not doing correctly).

Yes, you may have to lengthen or shorten fuel lines dependiong on where original inlet and outlet pipes on pump were facing.
