    Made Jan 31, 2017, sent to the company Feb 27, 2017, published by CPSC Mar 13, 2017

    The product, in the report: Arnold Siphon Pump

    I was using the Arnold Siphon Pump to transfer gasoline. After using the product, it started to leak after the glue used to hold together the pump assembly dissolved. Gasoline spurted from the hand pump creating a very hazardous situation. This product is advertised to transfer gas, oil, and other liquids. It is unsuitable and dangerous to transfer gasoline. I purchased the product at Lowes and after reading reviews on the product after the fact, other consumers have reported the same issue.
