Diesel Transfer Pump | Stainless Steel Shell | 12V 24V Car Camping Water

Built for remote refueling, this portable 12v diesel fuel transfer pump moves fluid at 12 liters per minute. The 38mm stainless steel shell resists corrosion from diesel fuel and fresh water, giving you a steady submersible fuel transfer pump powered by standard vehicle battery clamps. Features and Benefits - Stainless steel pump housing - Resists rust and chemical wear when submerged in diesel tanks and water - Detachable bottom strainer - Unscrews easily so you can wipe away dirt and clean out debris - In-line cord switch - Lets you shut the motor off instantly without sparking at the battery terminals - Compact 38mm barrel width - Slips into standard fuel containers, water jugs, and tight tank openings Applications - Refueling camper vans, 4x4 overland rigs, and touring vehicles from spare jerry cans - Pumping fresh water into washdown tanks and camp showers while off the grid - Transferring diesel between storage drums and small commercial fishing boats at the dock Key Compatibility Differences A common question is whether you can use a diesel transfer pump for gasoline. The answer is strictly no. Petrol has a low flash point below 43°C (and well below 45°F), producing volatile vapours that can ignite from minor electrical arcing or heat generated by internal motor brushes. This submersible unit is engineered solely for diesel, light oil, and clean water. Pumping petrol, alcohol, or other flammable liquids with this unit creates a severe fire hazard and will degrade the internal seals. Always reserve this pump for heavier, non-explosive fuels and utility water tasks. What It Is What is a diesel transfer pump? It is a compact, submersible electric fluid pump built inside a corrosion-resistant stainless steel shell. Operating from a 12V or 24V DC power source, it is designed to be lowered directly into a container, drum, or tank to extract fluid from the bottom up. The stainless steel body protects internal components from knocks, debris, and fluid corrosion on site. Because it runs directly from low-voltage vehicle batteries or mobile power packs, it provides reliable off-grid fluid dispensing without the need for manual priming or mains electricity. Key Uses & Applications This unit handles liquid management across automotive, marine, and camping settings: - Decanting diesel into plant, tractors, or commercial vehicles from standard storage barrels - Transferring light oils between storage containers in a workshop - Emptying bilge areas, ballast containers, or onboard holding tanks on marine craft - Pumping fresh water for site clean-ups, off-grid washing setups, and remote camping facilities - Draining settled water from outdoor sumps or secondary storage vessels Always submerge the pump body in the fluid before engaging power to maintain steady priming and prevent the motor from running dry.
