    Default Super Siphon



    TWO THUMBS UP!!!(ok, only 1 thumb up in the pic)

    I already heard great reviews about this product... but i finally got to actually use mine. It worked flawless! I highly recommend it. A few jerks in the can and off the fluid went. It really traveled fast down the hose too. I was thoroughly impressed. I drained each 5 gallon can in about 1 minute flat!!!!!!! It's very nice to not have to pull the cans down and unstrap everything. Also, when at the gas station i just stand on the side and fill them too. They never have to move.

    anyhoo.... i just wanted to give you guys some feedback on the product. Pick yours up today...

    Second that. I used mine for the first time last week and could not believe how fast it drained the can.

    I thought it was good practice not to fill gas cans while they are on any vehicle. Something about static electricity and possible spark producing discharge?

    I agree 100% that the super siphon rocks! I have not taken my cans off my rack since I've bought it. No more spilling or smelling like gas on the trail!

    The only small complaint is the faint smell of gas if you re-stow the siphon in the vehicle right after you gas up. Easy fix, keep it outside for a while!

    Yep, heard it a few times too, but never heard of anything 'actually' happening. I guess, im rolling the dice.

    You can be a real rebel and talk on your cell phone while filling your tanks...

    I might have to pick one of those up... I LOVE the idea of not having to hold the gas can up to refill the Jeep. Thanks for the review and link.

    How about posing in a more adventurous location than the industrial park in your photo?

    I have a super siphon as well and I like it, but I have a few cons to list. It loses its flexibility in cold weather. Also, they tend to leave a bit of fuel in the bottom of the can.
