The Amio fuel siphon hose with hand pump (pear bulb), 2 m, is a flexible tool designed for manual transfer and drainage of petrol and diesel. The set combines a durable flexible hose with a rubber pear-style hand pump to initiate and maintain fluid flow without electrical power. Its 2-metre length provides reach for fuel tanks, drums and containers while the simple pear bulb mechanism allows controlled priming and starting of siphon action.
Advantages
The hose and pear pump design deliver a low-complexity solution for fuel transfer, requiring no tools or power source. The flexible construction allows easy routing into tight openings and the rubber bulb creates a reliable suction to start flow. Lightweight and portable, the set is suitable for occasional use, emergency removal of fuel and small-scale refuelling tasks. Materials are selected for compatibility with petrol and diesel to minimise premature degradation under normal handling conditions.
Suitable for
- Draining fuel from vehicle tanks for maintenance or repair
- Transferring petrol or diesel between containers and portable tanks
- Emergency fuel extraction from stalled vehicles or equipment
- Small-scale refuelling of lawn mowers, generators and garden machinery

How to use
Insert one end of the hose into the fuel source and the other end into the receiving container, ensuring secure placement to avoid spills. Squeeze the rubber pear bulb several times to create suction and initiate fuel flow; once siphoning starts, maintain the receiving container at a lower level than the source to keep the flow. Observe safety precautions such as working in a well-ventilated area, preventing sparks or open flames nearby, and avoiding overfilling the receiving container. After use, expel remaining liquid from the hose, rinse if appropriate, and store the set in a dry place away from direct heat.
Usage recommendations
For safe operation, wear suitable gloves and eye protection when handling fuel. Use the hose only for petrol and diesel and inspect the rubber bulb and hose for damage before each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and store away from ignition sources. Do not use the siphon for potable liquids or corrosive chemicals.
