If you need to move fuel or other liquids, this is a cool device. I just used one at my vacation place in Maine where fuel has to be brought in in cans and moved where it's needed.
It looks worthless, a clear hose with a brass fitting with a marble in it on the end that would not appear to do anything. But dropped in a fuel can, and shaken the right way, it drives the gas up and over and gets a good fast siphon going through the large diameter hose. Much better/faster than the stupid squeeze bulb ones that don't work/leak half the time, or getting the old lung full of gas from the traditional method.
Hopkins Shaker Siphon and Super Syphon seem to be two brand names, available at Advance and Pep Boys and maybe elsewhere. Not sure which one I was using, since someone else bought it. But I'm about to go buy my own for use around home.
