FAQs
What types of fluids can be used with this pump?
This pump is suitable for various oils, anti-corrosion liquids, and other non-corrosive fluids. It can also be used for drying applications.
How do I clean the oil suction pump?
After use, flush the syringe and hose with a suitable solvent or cleaner, then rinse thoroughly with water. Allow all parts to dry completely before storing.
What is the capacity of the syringe?
The syringe has a capacity of 500 ml.
What is the length of the flexible hose?
The flexible hose is 280 mm long.
Can this tool be used for high-viscosity fluids?
While it can handle typical automotive oils, extremely high-viscosity fluids may be difficult to draw and dispense effectively due to the manual operation.
Is the hose flexible enough for very tight spaces?
The 280 mm flexible igelit hose is designed to reach into confined areas, offering good maneuverability in most tight spots.
Does this tool require any power source?
No, this is a manual tool and does not require any external power source to operate.
Troubleshooting
Syringe not drawing fluid
Ensure the hose end is submerged in the fluid. Check that the plunger seal is intact and creating a good seal. Verify the hose is not kinked or blocked. Make sure the flexible hose is securely attached to the syringe body.
Fluid leaking from plunger
The plunger seal may be worn or damaged. Inspect the seal and replace if necessary. Ensure the plunger is being pulled and pushed smoothly without excessive force.
Hose is difficult to insert
The flexible hose is designed for tight spaces; gentle wiggling and rotating may help. Ensure the fluid is at a suitable temperature (not excessively cold, which can increase viscosity).
Difficult to dispense fluid
Check for any blockages within the hose or at the tip. Ensure the fluid's viscosity is appropriate for manual dispensing. Push the plunger steadily.
