JUNK, IT BROKE! read description TERAPUMP 4th Gen - Fuel Transfer Pump in depth review, unbox, test 

If your Tera pump fails to start, read this before blowing your fuse!!! (and after checking out your batteries…) After being stored for about 6 months, I put fresh batteries in my Tera pump TRFA01 to find out that it failed to run. I thought the electronics and/or the motor had died, even though it had been used only twice! I refrained myself from smashing it up against the wall… Then I told myself that if it was such a bad product, there must be some saying about it on the web… I looked and found out that many people have had the same issue. But it appears that you can easily bring it back to life by simply wiggling the blue, rotating part at the bottom of the pump (I mean no disrespect but the pump is actually the cylinder that gets inserted into the fluid, not the thingy holding the batteries ;-P). I don’t know if the gasoline is eating at these cheap plastic parts and causing them to seize together, or if wiggling it allows to reset a sensor or something; but as soon as I touched that silly blue part, the pump came back to life and has been operating just fine ever since. I suspect This will have to be redone after each storage. Especially seasonal/longer term storage. To be noted that I remove the pump from the canister before storing it, as recommended in the manual. I wonder if letting it sit in the gasoline would make matters worse or the contrary… Hoping it helps, and that you don’t have to buy a bucket of glue to put it back together ;-)

I’ve had that pump for a few years and it works great. I never take it off the can and have never had any leaks or problems. Only time it doesn’t work really well is when it’s 20 below 0 and you have the can on the ground and are filling something high above. Also when you have that little bit of fuel left in the hose I just tip the can back a little bit and it drains back into the can.

Good review. Today's gas prices people May go back to the old days like I did when I was a kid and quote borrow gas, 🤔 stay cool, it's hot down here,

This is actually VERY timely and good info. My Dad (87 years old) was out in the barn trying to fill the generator and dumped gasoline all over the place almost causing a fire (He was doing it while it was running.) This looks like the perfect solution. I had to go there yesterday and sort out why it wasn't running very well. As soon as it got hot it it would stop.. He thought it was a clogged filter because he was trying to use a sponge to clean up around the fill area, that disintegrated and some fell into the tank. Long story longer, It was a spark plug the plug would stop working when it got hot.

Great review, short, sweet and to the point. Covered all the bases and showed the price. Awesome 👌!

I have been using one like that for a few years. I always store it indoor in the winter. And I leave the pump attached to the gas can all summer long. I am pretty happy with it.

I've had this exact fuel pump for 3+ years. It works great with my mod. I leave it installed in a gas can full-time and have never had problems. And even with the supply gas can (and pump) higher than the filler spout... it still shuts-off proper and doesn't create a siphon. I found the 4 small batteries didn't last long and the pump will just stop working. I bought a dual D-size battery holder... and wired this into the pump (where small batteries go) and duct-taped it to the top of the battery compartment. With 2 D-size batteries, this pump runs forever. I finally had to change the batteries after over a year. Great for filling jetskis and boat... with no spilling. Would buy again. Cheers!

I like my magic syphon hose,those are the coolest with the rattle ball valve on the end,just put it in the liquid and jiggle up n down to start the flow.

Asleep at the tablet again! Cool idea. Gonna get me one.

awesome Cheez - I'd second the suggestions - if you could keep it connected to the supply can and a bit longer hose - I'd buy one to fill my lawn tractor where holding those 5 US Gallon cans at an awkward height is a pain. I'm a bit luckier than some where I have good old fashion nozzles that don't have the safety no tip/spill stuff on them (and when I go to fill them up at the station I've had offers to buy them ;-) )

I use one of those clear hoses with the marble in it at the end. It is a syphon hose they sell them on E-bay, Amazon, Harbor Freight, and many other auto parts stores around the world. they are typically less than $10 all you do is put the metal end with the marble in it and shake it fuel comes up the hose and will not back flow into what ever it is you are pulling the fuel from. It also affords you the ability to actually pull gas from a vehicle not just from a can.

I keep a 55 gallon barrel full of 87 gas in my shed. It really comes in handy. ive got a hand crank pump in it. That little pump would make things easier fo sho.

I use a sealey aa one for Jerry cans. Man it's great. 4 litres a minute. Can be higher or lower than the receiver tank / vehicle. I've used it for petrol, diesel, oil and a blocked toilet lol.

Nice find! That's a useful little tool....that's what she said

Hey mate, I'm happy to say I have two of those, one petrol and one for diesel. I have a bad back and lifting a 20L jerry for a long time hits my back. But having a little pump like this is way easier. I recommend this pump 4/5 stars. I had them for a good year or so.

Unfortunately...I have gone through 2 of these in about a month and a half. I may give it another chance it was convenient, lessened the spillage when filling small engine tanks.

Thank you I have been looking at them

I wonder if left submerge in gasoline, if gasoline will deteriorate the material/seal is made.

I bought one of these this summer after seeing the guy next to me at the racetrack using his! Worked great, loved it. Used it to refuel my Ninja ZX6R trackbike for 4 trackdays this summer. Last used it in July 21'. Today Late October 21', I went to use it when winterizing my motorcycles and the pump DONT WORK! I tried new batteries, NOTHING! LOL what a POS.

Hey guys I have some 80s street bikes I need to get rid of, so if your looking for a street bike project bring a truck or trailer. Gs550. Gs1000, suzuki intruder 800, gpz750. Yamaha 600, cleaning out shop

The Harbor Freight pump is on sale for 7.99.

Kinda reminds us of a sumper pumper with that long of hose moto.. you could probably get something like that(only bigger) to suck out the basement after flooding.

Price point is a stinger compared to the hard piped inlet version, it would definitely be worth it if it would get all the way down to the bottom of a vehicle's gas tank. But then again the corrugations would get stuck on the vehicle's flapper thing. I do like that it doesnt require the use of big ole D or C batteries like the hard piped version, those batteries are expensive to replace, esp if you only use the thing once a blue moon... {{My 73 grand am starts ok, it being carbureted has her tendencies on cold start up, but I also still think the float or mech. pump is letting fuel leave the supply line as she sits. What was the result of your Jeep's carb issues?}}

If a can came with the cost wouldn't be bad. Looks good and works good

Would be great for refueling my 2-stroke between trails.

That's pretty cool I may get one just in case. I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't mind the taste of "Diesel" in their mouth after siphoning.

Mine started to leak gas out the handle. The oring shrank and Tera pump customer service was no help

I don't have any use for one these days but I do have a neighbor and a friend that would love to have one and I sent them the link so they can watch this. Really good video

Hello mini truck ✌️👍

Boom.

I had one and used it twice then it started leaking from the fill hose to head. There is a tiny oring that was either bad or the gas broke it down. Other than that it worked great!

Ohhhh yyyeeeeaaaahhhhhh!

I have seen some guys convert them to use drill batteries!

Would be great for filling the boat from a fuel bladder.

Great video I nee one or two besides the other three I already have 😃

great review, but i'm a cheap bar steward, so i'll probably not get one. :-)

Looks decent enough. A little pricey for what you get.

i have one due to my back it lasted 2 months and quit

👍👊

This comment has nothing to do with this video. BUT anyway, Moto, have you heard of the Lifan KPR200? I’m curious on what you think and or if you buy it and review it? Haha ty later dude

Hey, whats the deal,no rating on your show?

Hey cheezy. Hey if you still have that speedometer cable for the hawk bring it with, an I have you a nice honda tool kit for you. You mentioned you lost the one from your bike.

👍

Already on the 4th version of the design? When did the original come out?

If I had a need for one, I'd buy it. Oh! Does it work with water beds? I need to refill mine, but I have a water pump attachment for a drill. I have no drill, my brother needed it back! Love from Scotland, also in Europe

I'm guessing you should loosen the fuel can vents on both before using?

⛽🧀

Got one for my kerosene heaters

Its saysnotto use it to pump water. Would that really damage it?

Damn… you have one kick ass channel! Haha! Haven’t watched in a couple weeks cuz I had the commie cold/wu flu (no worse than average cold) and didn’t want to be jealous watching u do cool stuff. Haha! Keep up the awesome stuff! You should have a channel on cable!

I got one a few years ago. twice it worked great. 3rd time was NOT the charm, would not work. Can adapters would not fit tight. (fuel spillage) tried to hot glue adapter to can. My take was great idea, lousy implementation. 👎

Gday wow $93aud mmmm nar ill be right lol oh shit i did not see that $28 for post mmm

Discharge hose.😂

Super Club!

The tip comes off if it gets stuck in the can. NO HOMO!!!

Pump it..... That's what she said.

66bucks? Gota wait for the Chinese to steal the patent and get it for 12

Beep

1st from Europe 😁.

It's extremely LONG
