The front of the label giveth (clicky for more dots):
The bottom line says “Ideal for changing oil and siphoning gas”, which is what you’d expect.
However, the back of the label taketh away:
If it manages to empty three small engine tanks and doesn’t immediately dissolve in gasoline, I’ll call it a win.
Sheesh and similar remarks.

lol, I saw this the last time I was at HF… but can one really complain for $6? Their slogan should be “Always an Adventure (saefty glasses required)”. Now I’m reminded that I need to take back that torque wrench that was DOA.
Even less that that on sale, which is the only time to buy anything there.
As nearly as I can tell, HF is the Politburo’s tool-oriented user interface, just like Walmart is their dry goods UI. At least you know who / what you’re dealing with…
I like HF, but that pump does not work AT ALL.
Everything’s flammable if you add enough ClF3 … :)
Sounds like a little dab will do ya…
Ignition is spooling off the printer even as I type; it’s nowhere to be found in the entire Interlibrary system.
I consider all the tools that come from there “single use”. If you get more than one use out of anything from there, it’s bonus time.
I admit that pump has been sitting on the garage floor, waiting for a day when the stars all line up properly. Maybe if I do all three tanks at once, that’ll count as a “single use” and I won’t feel so bad about scrapping it out…
I was able to get _ignition_ from ILL quite a few years ago — you’ll really enjoy it.
