The product, in the report: Battery powered siphon pump (for kerosene), Part Number DH-20
Purchased a battery powered siphon pump (part number DH-20) distributed by World Marketing of America, Mill Creek, PA. from Home Depot today. This was for transfer of kerosene from 5 gallon can to kerosene heater. Turned the pump on and fuel started to flow. Turned the pump off and fuel continued to flow at same rate even though the switch was turned off. Confirmed that the motor had stopped pumping, but the siphon action did not stop the flow of kerosene. I had to quickly pinch the filler hose to mostly stop the flow of kerosene, then quickly remove the hose from the kerosene heater and lift the hose higher than the filler can before the siphon action stopped. A small amount of kerosene was spilled. I thought this may have been a one-time-event, so I placed a catch pan under a 2nd kerosene heater and got a clamp to (substantially) stop the fuel flow in case this happened again. I turned the pump on briefly to start the flow of kerosene, then immediately turned the pump off. The kerosene continued to flow at the same rate even with the switch turned off. (The motor was not powered on.) I quickly clamped the filler hose mostly closed and lifted the hose higher than the filler can. Again, a small amount of kerosene was spilled.
I have been using a battery powered siphon pump for kerosene for the past 40 years, so I am very familiar with how they should operate.
The packaging states “Applicable Liquids: kerosene, diesel, light oils, water (non-drinkable) and other non-flammable liquids”. This product is an extreme fire hazard in that the siphon will not stop when the switch is turned off.
I immediately got on the internet and wrote a complaint to the distributor and told them that this product is unsafe and must be removed from the market. I also told the distributor that I was going to report this product to the CPSC. Product will be returned to Home Depot today and the Home Depot manager will be notified about this very unsafe product.
