Works great as a diesel flow switch between high cap tank and factory tank
I'm using this as a flow control switch between my high capacity diesel tank and my factory tank to extend my range. Previously I was having to stop every 400mi to refuel, but by using this and a high capacity tank I can go from NH to FL, with a loaded trailer, without refueling, or by refueling where fuel costs are lower.I mounted this unit on the high capacity tank side, then ran the fuel line from it through a filter to the down pipe going into the factory tank. When the fuel gauge reads 1/4 I turn the switch on, which allows fuel to flow into the smaller tank. Then when the gauge gets near full I shut the switch off stopping the flow.

Solid Valve - With a Caveat Regarding Duty Cycle
The build quality of this valve is very good. The biggest concern on my part, though, was the duty cycle.The valve actuates authoritatively at 12 V. Also, at that voltage, the current draw is around 2 A, yielding power dissipation in the valve coil around 24 W. However, if that power level is maintained, the valve becomes quite hot.I've found that if you're able to actuate the valve at 12 V, and then immediately reduce the voltage to 5 V, the valve will stay open reliably. Also, at 5 V, the current draw is only around 800 mA - meaning that the power dissipation at 5 V is only around 4 W.At that power level and at steady state, the valve is only warm to the touch - not hot.I can't speak to the durability of the valve yet, but I suspect that the coil can remain energized indefinitely at 5 V holding voltage.

It just works!
It just works, but does need about 3 amps at 12v to hold it open...

Dangerously hot after a few minutes
Not worth buying. I tried to use for a diesel transfer tank. Gravity feed was 1 quart every 2 minutes. After 8 minutes it got so hot I couldn’t touch it. Very dangerous temperature if activated for such a short time.

Does what it should!
Good quality, and just as expected. (And even better that I ordered the correct size valve!)

Cannot supply 3.5gpm flow rate for pressure washer
Low flow rate. I was using for a pressure washer setup with soap on demand (via remote switch). I found this valve was unable to supply my 3.5gpm pump, which was cavitatting. I also have a similar model valve which is available in 1/2 and 3/4 npt and slightly different design which has no problems delivering the required flow. Will be replacing with larger version.

I got it like the next day after I ordered it
I got it like the next day after I ordered it.it just magically appeared in mmy mailbox.pacaged very well,and good quality

Leaks through valve
When you shut off the valve (no power) still had fuel trickle through.

Works but gets very hot.
Used it to transfer fuel and after the first time I used it I removed it. Got hot enough I could smell it when I parked my truck. Would be Leary on using it to transfer fuel.

Installed and working well. The flow through is restricted when opened
