Siphon Pumps
Beckson Specialty Transfer Pumps
Safety experts caution against the unsafe practice of siphoning petroleum by mouth, warning specially, that it can result in loss of life. Beckson's answer is the patented Siphon-Mate® pump; a combination displacement lift pump and siphon pump with valves suitable for transferring fuel. Pump half strokes to start flow. Once flow begins, fully extending the handle will allow siphoning provided that the source is higher in elevation than the receptacle.
EASY OPERATION! Begin pumping to start flow. Once flow begins, fully extending the handle will allow siphoning, provided that the source is higher in elevation than the receptacle. Siphon action stops when handle is depressed AND hose is removed from the source.
WARNING! Plan carefully for liquid to drain from pump and hose after dispensing. This is especially important with liquids other than potable water. Remove pump from container when not in use to prevent unintentional siphon action or unauthorized use.
USE FOR: DIESEL - OIL - WATER

SAFETY USAGE GUIDE FOR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
FOR YOUR PROTECTION - DO NOT BE A STATISTIC
Please be careful. The major dangers in storing
or handling flammable liquids are those of
fire and explosion. Containers should be
grounded if made of conductive material and
should not be near sources of sparks, open
flames or hot surfaces. The container should
be kept in an area where spillage (liquid
or vapors) will not flow to an ignition source.
DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING IN THE AREA. Be sure
to provide adequate ventilation to prevent
concentration of fumes. Remember, fumes of
flammable liquids are highly explosive. Fire
extinguishers of proper type to handle Class
B fires and of proper size and quantity to
handle the potential hazard should be readily
available. Water is generally not suitable
as an extinguisher of a Class B fire. Ensure
means of safe disposal of any spillage before
transferring. Liquids should only be transferred
to an appropriate tank. If such a container
is conductive then it should be connected
to the container with a grounding strap to
prevent static electric spark. Guidelines
for handling flammable liquids can be obtained
from the National Fire Protection Agency,
