This portable diesel transfer pump handles both diesel and gasoline using a sealed, spark-free electric motor. It runs on 12V or 24V vehicle power systems to empty barrels quickly. The included two-meter fuel hose and four-meter battery cord give you plenty of reach around work trucks. Features and Benefits
- Explosion-proof sealed motor - Safely transfers gasoline as well as standard diesel
- Four-meter power cable - Reaches truck batteries without moving heavy fuel containers
- Two-meter reinforced hose - Delivers steady flow without kinking or collapsing under suction
- Compact carry handle - Makes moving the unit between service trucks simple Applications
- Refueling work trucks and skid steers from pickup bed tanks
- Transferring gasoline between utility cans and lawn maintenance equipment
- Draining fuel tanks on stranded vehicles during field repairs
Key Compatibility Differences
A standard diesel transfer pump is often unsafe for petrol because petrol has a much lower flash point, creating dangerous vapour at ambient temperatures. Standard motors and switches can create ignition risks when handling volatile fumes. However, this specific self-priming reciprocating pump is rated for both diesel and gasoline, allowing multi-fuel workshop use. It operates across dual 12V and 24V DC systems, letting you run it from vans, plant machinery, or standard site batteries. Always ensure power clamps and electrical connections are secured well away from open fuel containers to prevent electrical arcing near vapour.
What It Is
A diesel transfer pump is a portable, electrically driven unit designed to move bulk fuel out of drums, static tanks, and vehicle reservoirs without manual siphoning. This complete kit uses a self-priming reciprocating pump design that draws fluid directly without needing manual priming beforehand. The unit includes a 2m dispensing hose for directed flow and a 4m power cable that reaches vehicle battery terminals while the pump sits on the ground. It provides a clean, controlled method for moving fuels on site, avoiding spillage, vapour inhalation, and contamination during daily plant maintenance.
Key Uses & Applications
This kit handles heavy-duty refueling and rapid fluid transfer tasks across agricultural, plant, and marine environments. Typical uses include:
- Refueling plant machinery, diggers, and generators directly from static fuel bowsers or 205-litre drums.
- Draining and transferring diesel or gasoline between vehicle storage tanks during maintenance.
- Mobile breakdown support and roadside recovery, powered directly via 12V or 24V vehicle battery terminals.
The included 2m hose provides adequate reach for vehicle filler necks, while the self-priming action allows fast, repeatable fluid movement without airlocks stalling the flow.

Q: How long are the included cables and hoses on this diesel transfer pump? A: The kit includes a 4-meter battery cable with alligator clips and a 2-meter intake hose. The longer power wire gives you enough reach to walk around a truck bed while hooked to the front battery.. Q: How does the motor handle continuous pumping sessions? A: The pump uses an internal bypass valve and an aluminum finned casing to shed heat quickly. We recommend running it for a maximum of 30 minutes at a stretch, followed by a 15-minute cool-down period to protect the internal seals.. Q: What fuel types work safely with this setup? A: You can safely transfer diesel, light heating oils, and kerosene. Do not run thick 80W-90 gear oils or hydraulic fluids through it, as the increased viscosity can overload the motor and cause it to trip.. Q: What does the warranty cover if the pump stops drawing suction? A: The manufacturer covers the pump under a 12-month warranty against loss of suction and impeller defects. If the internal bypass spring or vanes break during regular operation, you get free replacement components or a full replacement unit.. Q: Why is this portable pump setup practical for farm and field work? A: It combines the motor, wiring, and hose into one kit you can stow behind a truck seat. You don't need to lift heavy 20-liter jerry cans to refuel equipment, which prevents spills and saves your back..
