FAQs

Can this be used with petrol and diesel?

Yes, the bulb is fully compatible with both petrol and diesel fuel applications.

What hose size does this fit?

This primer bulb is designed for use with 8mm internal bore fuel pipes.

Does it restrict fuel flow when the engine is running?

No, it is designed to allow unrestricted fuel flow once the engine is started.

Can I use this to siphon fuel from a tank?

Yes, the manual pump action can be used to initiate a siphon effect for fluid transfer.

What is the purpose of the one-way valve?

The valve prevents fuel from draining back into the tank, ensuring the fuel line remains primed for the next start.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not stay firm after pumping

Check for air leaks at the hose connections or ensure the hose clamps are tightened sufficiently.

Fuel is not moving through the bulb

Verify the flow arrow on the bulb is pointing towards the engine and ensure there are no kinks in the fuel line.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable aluminium construction ensures longevity
  • Prevents fuel drain-back with internal one-way valve
  • Compatible with both petrol and diesel fuels
  • Simple, manual operation requires no external power source
  • Dual-purpose utility for both priming and fluid siphoning

Cons

  • Requires manual effort for priming
  • Limited to 8mm bore hose sizes
  • Not suitable for high-pressure fuel injection systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the primer bulb, ensure it is oriented correctly in the fuel line; the arrow typically indicated on the bulb body must point in the direction of fuel flow toward the engine. Secure the connections using appropriate hose clamps to prevent leaks. This unit is compatible with 8mm bore fuel lines. For care, avoid exposure to harsh external chemicals that could degrade the rubber bulb over time. Periodically inspect the aluminium tails for any signs of corrosion or debris buildup to ensure the internal valve remains clean and fully functional.
