Geoff, these Facet manufactured pumps are much better pushers than
suckers, and their installation instructions tell you that. However I often
carry one loose with me in my trunk. I use it to transfer gas into, or
occasionally out of, my lawn mower, or some such. When I use it that way,
some times it is sucking over 8 feet and does just fine, so I suspect that
for a non-permanent installation and emergency you would be fine. I
wouldn't permanently mount it anyway.
Good luck. Peter
