Fuel Transfer Siphon Hose Ø25mm, 1.6m – Hose with One-Way Valve for Fuel

This fuel siphon hose with a 25mm (1″) diameter is an invaluable accessory for any situation where you need to transfer liquids quickly and safely. One end of the hose features an integrated metal or plastic one-way valve (a “shake siphon” end with a check ball) that allows fluid to flow in only one direction. To start siphoning, you simply insert the valve end into the source (for example, a fuel can) and shake the hose up and down a few times. The valve automatically primes the hose and begins the flow, so you don’t have to suck on the hose with your mouth – making the process much more hygienic and safe, especially when dealing with fuels.

High Flow & Length: With an inner diameter of about 20mm, this hose provides a fast flow rate for moving a large volume of liquid. Once the flow is initiated and the siphon effect takes over, gravity does the rest – fuel or water will continue to transfer steadily and quickly without constant manual pumping. The outer diameter is 25mm, which fits common fuel tank openings and drum bung holes. The 1.6 meter (approximately 5.25 ft) length gives you ample reach between containers: you can place a jerry can on the ground and easily reach up to a boat’s fuel deck fill or a vehicle’s tank without strain. At the same time, the hose isn’t so long that it becomes difficult to manage the siphon – it’s an optimal length for most uses.

Durable Material: The hose is made of transparent PVC, which is flexible yet sturdy and resistant to typical fuels (gasoline, diesel), as well as oils, diluted acids, and water. Its transparency lets you see the liquid as it flows, so you can immediately tell when fuel starts moving or when the flow stops. The valve at the end is designed to allow liquid through in one direction only. A small ball inside moves when you shake the hose, pushing liquid up into the tube, but it seals when liquid tries to flow back, thus maintaining the prime and continuous siphon.

Safety & Convenience: Using this hose eliminates the danger of ingesting gasoline or fumes – a common risk when people attempt to start a siphon by mouth. This is crucial both for your health (gasoline fumes are toxic) and for fire safety. Moreover, the one-way valve helps prevent overflows and spills – you can stop the flow easily by raising the source end above the destination or by pinching the hose once the receiving tank is full. After the initial priming, the flow is self-sustaining and nearly hands-free; gravity provides a steady transfer without constant manual effort.

Wide Range of Applications:

• Boating & Personal Watercraft: Transferring gasoline from a jerry can to your boat or jet ski’s tank (or vice versa), draining fuel for seasonal storage, topping up a built-in tank from portable containers while out on the water.
• Automotive, Motorcycles, ATVs: Removing old fuel from a vehicle’s tank before maintenance, siphoning fuel between vehicles or equipment in the field, refueling off-road vehicles from a larger fuel drum.
• Home & Utility: Draining aquariums or small pools, transferring water from barrels or rain collection tanks, emptying waterbeds or hot tubs, filling or emptying heating system reservoirs, and more.
• Emergency Situations: Quickly dewatering a bilge or compartment if your pump fails, transferring fuel between vehicles during an emergency, or any scenario where you need to move liquid away fast to prevent damage.

The hose is lightweight (around 0.45 kg) and easy to coil up and store. You can keep it in your trunk, garage, or onboard your boat – it doesn’t take much space, but when needed it can save you time, money (by preventing costly fuel spills), and potential headaches. Always use it as directed – ensure the receiving container is lower than the source (gravity is key), secure the outlet end, and in just a minute or two the fuel will be flowing safely to its new container.
