Transfer Pump Submersible | 12V 24V DC 12L/min | Aluminum Alloy Fuel Extractor

This compact 12V submersible fuel transfer pump moves up to 12 liters per minute of fluid quickly. Built with a 38mm aluminum alloy body, it works as a portable diesel transfer pump for equipment, kerosene, and clean water, running directly off your vehicle battery. Features and Benefits - 38mm outer diameter casing - Fits directly into standard fluid drums, jerry cans, and narrow container necks - 16mm hose barb outlet - Matches common 5/8-inch tubing securely without leaks during active pumping - Built-in stainless steel mesh filter - Blocks debris at the intake to protect downstream equipment and engines - Battery alligator clips with power switch - Connects quickly to 12V or 24V terminals for instant field refueling Applications - Moving fuel from storage jugs into tractors, excavators, and farm machinery on site - Draining bilges, water tanks, or stock barrels during outdoor work and camping - Siphoning clean kerosene and diesel into home heaters, generators, and off-road trucks Key Compatibility Differences A diesel transfer pump is not suitable for gasoline under any circumstances. You cannot use a diesel transfer pump for petrol because gasoline has a very low flash point, often well below 43°c or even 45°f, creating volatile, explosive vapours. Submersible units of this type do not feature explosion-proof motor casings. Drawing petrol through standard DC motors creates a severe risk of internal arcing and ignition. Additionally, petrol lacks the natural lubricating properties of diesel and light oil, which leads to premature wear on internal seals. Always stick to the verified fluids: diesel, light oils, and water. What It Is A diesel transfer pump is a dedicated fluid extraction tool designed to siphon and move fuel between storage drums, intermediate bulk containers, and vehicle tanks. This model is a compact submersible unit featuring a durable aluminum alloy housing designed to withstand workshop handling and fluid immersion. Powered by a standard 12V or 24V DC electrical supply, it drops directly into the liquid supply to push fluid out from the bottom. Running at a steady flow rate of 12 L/min, it provides controlled liquid displacement without the priming issues common to standard external suction lines. Key Uses & Applications This unit handles on-site refuelling, vehicle servicing, and workshop liquid management where mains power is unavailable. Typical jobs include: - Transferring diesel directly from storage barrels into site plant, tractors, and generators using 12V or 24V vehicle battery power. - Draining diesel or light oil from tanks during routine maintenance, mechanical repairs, or tank cleanouts. - Siphoning non-potable water from footings, bunded areas, or flooded equipment compartments at a rate of 12 L/min. - Decanting light lubricating oils between drums and shop dispensers without manual hand pumping.
