Siphons for water and fuel cans

[Bobmog]

I know some of you are using siphons for fuel and water transfer from your fuel or water cans instead of spouts. What siphons are recommended? I have seen the "super siphon" which appears to have mixed reveiws. I want to get one siphon for water and one for fuel. Thanks in advance for any info. or recommendations.

I use a Super Syphon for my water system, to run water to my "kitchen" and also with a spray head on it for showers. I bought the syphon and the extension line from Expedition Exchange.

I also carry a Super Syphon for fuel.

Same as above; one for fuel, one for water.

I have a SuperSiphon, and I'm not sure why anyone would give them a bad review; mine works great. They do exactly what they say they'll do, and for the price they're hard to beat.

Same here. One for water, one for fuel. It's also a standard tubing size so you can get valves and tubing at the hardware store.

I use the super siphon and extension for fuel, and a kerosone siphon ($5) assigned, and purposed, solely for water per Tom Sheppards recommendation from the VDEG.

What is different about the kerosene siphon?

Thanks!

Kerosene siphon

The siphon has a hand bulb that can be primed to transfer water.

I purchased mine here:

Super Siphon for fuel. Haven't had any issues for the last 2 outings since I got it.

Only $6.99 at your local Bass Pro Shop:smiley_drive:

2 peices of 3/4 ID hose and my thumb... $2 at home depot for both of them

same as above but i have a slit in the hose and use my OBA to pull a suction. Works like a charm.

Brass Pro sells what they call a "Safety Siphon." Packaged similarly to the Super Siphon, but clearly not the same unit.

No experience, just "for informational purposes only."

On a somewhat related note, has anybody tried plumbing an in-line fuel filter on a siphon or would that be too restrictive? It certainly would reduce contamination though.

pretty sure it would stop the flow, but not positive. why is your fuel contaminated to begin with?
