Draper Multi-Purpose Portable Fluid Pump | 1L Engine Fuel Oil Water Pump | Brake Fluid Bleeding Pump | 23242

The Draper Multi-Purpose Portable Fluid Pump (23242) promises to be a handy tool for various vehicle maintenance tasks. After putting it through its paces, I've found it to be a bit of a mixed bag - useful in some ways, but with a few notable drawbacks. Let's start with the positives 👍. The 10cc spring-loaded push button action pump delivers a decent amount of pressure, making it effective for most fluid transfer tasks. I found it particularly handy for topping up hard-to-reach areas in my car's engine bay. The versatility is a big plus - it handles engine oils, transmission fluids, and brake fluids with equal ease. The metal hose end is a nice touch, adding a bit of durability to a crucial part of the pump. For basic maintenance tasks, it's a time-saver and definitely makes servicing easier 🛠️. Now, for the not-so-great aspects 😕. The most significant issue I encountered was leakage. While pumping oil, I noticed it tends to leak a bit with each pump action. This can make for a messy job and potentially waste some fluid. It's not a deal-breaker, but it does require extra care and cleanup. The build quality is a bit hit-or-miss. Some parts feel sturdy, while others seem a bit flimsy. I'm not entirely confident about its long-term durability, especially with frequent use. The pipe length could be longer for some applications. I found myself wishing for a few extra inches when working on larger vehicles or machinery 🚗. Cleaning the pump after use can be a bit of a chore. If you're switching between different fluids, you'll need to be thorough to avoid contamination. On the capacity front, the 1L container is adequate for most tasks, but you might find yourself refilling for larger jobs. Overall, the Draper Multi-Purpose Portable Fluid Pump is a useful tool for the DIY mechanic or garden machinery enthusiast 🌿. It's not perfect, but it does make many maintenance tasks more manageable. If you can overlook the occasional leak and are willing to put in some effort for cleaning, it could be a valuable addition to your toolkit. Just don't expect professional-grade performance at this price point.

So having never had to use a pump to fill a car with oil before (Really Honda!!) I must admit after regaining my lost sense of humour I was pleasantly surprised at how good and easy this pump did the job. I just wish I had googled the job before starting. i can see a million uses for these and they do not pump little bubbles into the stream of liquid (Bonus) so great for reverse bleeding (Honda hydraulics) Very recommended.

It works and I didn’t suffer any leaks. However, it pumps out the fluid at a very slow rate. Took an age to fill gearbox.

Makes filling differentials with oil easy and clean

When I first used the pump I was going to give it a go filling planetary hubs with oil and after filling it with oil for the first time and testing it out for a bit all of a sudden it stopped pumping and I soon realised when I open it up the intake tube had let loose from the plastic cap as there were very little depth of threads on the pipe so if I tried to put it back together it just striped out again and again

Used this to replace a 500CC syringe that was being used to fill an MGB GT gearbox. 1. It's finnicky to fill with oil. 2. The hose provided is short and fairly stiff, I've cable tied it to make sure it doesn't leak . 3. The metal u-bend is a bit of a weird choice and likely won't ever be needed or used. 4. When you pump almost immediately the plunger brings oil up which leaks and trickles back into the bottle through the breather hole on the lid. 5. There's a breather hole on the lid! Don't tip the bottle when it's filled (in case that wasn't obvious) be wary of putting anything near the top that might contaminate whatever you're filling. All in all after one use, the job is quicker and lower effort but... I doubt this will hold out long term a little expensive for the quality.

Worked exactly as intended and for a good price. Decent quality ment it'll last a fair few oil changes

Works very well well, supplied tube is short and not very flexible, but useable, pumping volume is low but not necessarily a bad thing when trying to find a level, a lot better than siphoning or squeezing a plastic bottle at an awkward angle…!!!

Come già scritto da altri utenti per poter svuotare il litro di liquido contenuto serviranno moltissime pompate, senza però particolare forza. L'ho utilizzato per l'olio del cambio automatico e devo dire che sono molto soddisfatto, non ha perso una goccia d'olio ed ha funzionato benissimo. Naturalmente solo per lavori hobbistici e per uso santuario. Un professionista impazzirebbe 🤣

With this i change the gear box oil without taking apart my minicar. the metal part fit perfect while pumping in the oil.

Super pour tous les remplissages boite et ponts

Muy bien, lo tengo desde hace meses y va bien. Uso no profesional. Lo uso para introducir valvulina en caja de cambios

Broken after 1 time use Yes the hose is not flexible and the material used is horrible The suction tube came loose the 2nd time of use
