Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this suction gun to be able to re-fill the transfer case on my Suburban - it's a pain to get at, and pretty much the only way to do it is with a suction gun. I had bought another one last year from an auto part chain to do my front differential, but it did not handle the thick fluid, so I had returned it. I figured I needed to buy a better quality one.
After looking thru the description on a number of them on Amazon, I settled on this one, as it supposed is made to handle automotive fluids, and I figured it should do the job. I noticed that the tubing that comes with it did not fit into the fill hole, so with a razor blade I was able to strip-down the thick-walled tubing at the last one inch, and then it fit into the fill hole just fine. The first quart went in fine, but as I started the second quart, it the fluid started leaking out of the plunge-rod. I was able to finish the job, but it was certainly disappointing to have fluid streaming out. Haven't used it on any thicker fluids yet, so not sure how it would be with them. Maybe it was leaking because I had to pump sideways/up into the transfer case, and if you were able to be pumping down into something, it would work OK? Seems to me that the reason you get a suction gun is to be able to go sideways/up into hard to get at places.
