This 150W diesel transfer pump moves fluids fast with an output reaching 45L/min. The 12v submersible diesel fuel transfer pump drops straight into barrels or jerry cans. It handles clean diesel and fresh water, running directly off your vehicle battery with the included alligator clips for field refuelling. Features and Benefits
- High flow 45L/min motor - Empties a standard 200-litre drum in under five minutes to keep work moving
- Stainless steel body with base filter - Keeps debris out of the impeller and prevents contamination in vehicle tanks
- Direct battery clips - Powers straight from a 12V or 24V vehicle battery without an inverter
- Sealed submersible casing - Runs submerged in diesel or water with a recommended 20-minute duty cycle for motor life Applications
- Transferring diesel fuel from 50-gallon drums directly into tractors, excavators, and site machinery
- Pumping fresh water out of storage tanks, bilges, or garden rain barrels off-grid
- Emergency roadside refuelling from jerry cans into stranded utility trucks or commercial vehicles
Key Compatibility Differences
This unit is compatible solely with diesel, water, and sewage. You cannot use a diesel transfer pump for gasoline or petrol under any circumstances. Diesel transfer pumps are not suitable for gasoline because petrol has a much lower flash point and creates volatile vapours that ignite easily. The 12V / 24V DC motor runs at 8500 rpm and is not an intrinsically safe, explosion-proof design required for low-flashpoint fuels. Operating in warm ambient conditions approaching 43°c further increases the risk of petrol vapour ignition. Even in cold weather down around 45°f, petrol must never be introduced to this unit.
What It Is
A diesel transfer pump is a dedicated mechanical tool designed to move fuel safely from a storage container, drum, or IBC directly into machinery tanks or other holding vessels. This specific model is a 150W DC submersible diesel transfer pump, meaning the body is lowered directly into the fluid to push the liquid out from the bottom. Running at 8500 rpm, it delivers a flow rate of up to 45 L/min for swift fluid shifting on site. The submersible design avoids typical priming issues found in external suction setups, provided the intake remains submerged during operation.
Key Uses & Applications
This pump handles daily fluid management across trade, plant, and agricultural environments. Common tasks include:
- Transferring red or white diesel from barrels directly into plant machinery, diggers, and tractors
- Emptying flooded footings, sumps, trenches, and site pits containing dirty standing water
- Pumping out sewage or wastewater holding tanks during site maintenance
- Decanting diesel fuel between storage tanks and site bowsers
With a delivery rate of 45 L/min powered from a 12V or 24V DC battery supply, it provides fast refuelling and fluid clearance in remote locations where mains power is unavailable.

Product Type: Submersible Diesel Transfer Pump. Q: What is the flow rate and power draw of this diesel transfer pump? A: This diesel transfer pump runs on a 150W motor and moves liquid at up to 45 liters per minute. It operates on standard 12V or 24V DC battery connections, making it easy to run directly from a vehicle.. Q: What materials make up the pump casing and internal parts? A: The outer shell uses stainless steel to prevent rust when working submerged. Internal seals are nitrile rubber, which resists breakdown from continuous contact with diesel and oils.. Q: Which liquids can I safely move with this unit? A: You can pump diesel, light fuel oil, clean water, and thin sewage. Do not use it for petrol, alcohol, or other flammable liquids with low flash points.. Q: How long is the warranty coverage on this submersible model? A: The pump comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in the motor and internal wiring. Keep your receipt to make a claim if the pump fails during regular use.. Q: Why is this compact pump a practical purchase for field equipment? A: It weighs under 1 kg and drops straight into drum bungs or machinery tanks without extra adapters. You empty a standard 200-liter drum in under five minutes using your vehicle battery..
