The Yellow Square siphon hose, often called a shaker or jiggle siphon, is a 3 m clear fuel-resistant PVC hose, 14/16 mm in diameter, with a copper check valve at one end. Drop the valve into the liquid and shake it hard: the liquid rises up the hose and then keeps flowing by gravity. It handles petrol, diesel and water and needs no power.

What you get
- No pump, no batteries — the siphon runs on pressure difference.
- Start by shaking — the check valve fills the hose, so there is no need to suck on it.
- Plenty of reach — 3 m of hose between container and tank.
- Visible flow — clear PVC shows whether fuel is moving.
- Fuel-resistant hose — made for petrol and diesel.
- Copper valve — 60 mm long, 20 mm in diameter.
Who it is for
Owners of motorboats, yachts and boats who need to refuel on the water; riders of motorcycles, ATVs and snowmobiles; homeowners with a generator, water pump or lawn mower and a can of fuel.
Who should look elsewhere
The siphon only transfers downhill: to move liquid from a lower container to a higher one you will need a pump. The supplier does not state suitability for liquids other than petrol, diesel and water.
Applications and compatibility
Refuelling motorboats, yachts and boats on the water; refuelling ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, generators, motor pumps and lawn mowers; pouring fuel from a can into a tank. Method: valve into the higher container, the other end into the receiving tank, shake the valve firmly, then the liquid flows by gravity; lift the valve out to stop.
What is in the box
A 3 m siphon hose with a copper check valve. The supplier does not give a separate list of contents.
Questions and answers
How do I start the siphon?
Put the valve into the container with liquid and the other end of the hose into a lower tank, then shake the valve firmly a few times until liquid runs through the hose.
Which liquids can it transfer?
Petrol, diesel fuel and water.
Does it need batteries or electricity?
No, it works on pressure difference.
How do I stop the flow?
Lift the valve out of the liquid and the flow stops.
Can it pump uphill?
No, the liquid flows by gravity, so the source container must sit higher than the receiving one.
