This diesel transfer pump moves fuel quickly from drums and storage tanks into your vehicles. The 12v diesel fuel transfer pump delivers up to 50 liters per minute. It runs on standard vehicle batteries, making it a dependable 12 volt refueling pump for remote worksites and field equipment. Features and Benefits
- 50L/min flow rate - Empties a 200-liter drum in about four minutes to keep job downtime low
- Built-in self-priming vane mechanism - Draws fluid quickly without manual filling and lifts fuel several meters
- 30-minute operational duty cycle - Protects the internal copper motor from heat build-up during long refueling runs
- Diesel, kerosene, and water compatibility - Handles non-volatile liquids safely without sparking, though it should never pump gasoline Applications
- Refueling tractors, combines, and farm machinery straight from bulk storage tanks in the field
- Filling excavators, skid steers, and generators on construction sites from a service truck
- Transferring light oils and water between bulk drums and storage barrels in repair shops
Key Compatibility Differences
A diesel transfer pump cannot be used for gasoline under any circumstances. Petrol has a low flash point below 43°C (and well below 45°F), meaning standard electric motors create a severe ignition risk. This unit is rated strictly for heavier, non-volatile liquids: diesel, light fuel oil, and water. Using petrol will destroy internal seals and risks an explosion. The electric motor options include 12V and 24V DC for battery connection on plant machinery, alongside standard 220V mains supply. Check your fluid viscosity and supply voltage before connecting, ensuring pipework seals are fully fuel-resistant.
What It Is
A diesel transfer pump is a dedicated fluid delivery unit engineered to move high volumes of medium-viscosity hydrocarbons quickly between storage tanks and machinery. Operating automatically at a flow rate of 50L/min, it eliminates manual drum syphon methods. The assembly houses an electric motor driving a pumping mechanism designed to handle fuel oil, diesel, and water without seizing. Built for trade refuelling tasks, it provides a controlled, continuous flow directly from bulk IBC containers, static barrels, or site storage bowsers into vehicle tanks, plant equipment, or day tanks with minimal spill risk.
Key Uses & Applications
- On-site refuelling of excavators, tractors, and site generators directly from 205-litre drums or IBC totes
- Decanting red diesel and fuel oil into commercial heating systems or agricultural machinery
- Bulk liquid transfers where moving water or oil at 50L/min is required across workshop bays
- Mobile service vans carrying 12V or 24V battery systems for roadside and field plant replenishment
- Yard-based static dispensing setups wired into a 220V supply for daily fleet vehicle maintenance

Maximum Flow Rate: 50 L/min. Maximum Suction Lift: 5 m. Product Category: Electric Diesel Transfer Pump. Q: What is the flow rate and voltage setup for this diesel transfer pump? A: This unit moves up to 50 liters of fluid per minute. It runs on a 12V DC connection, making it easy to power straight from a standard vehicle or equipment battery.. Q: What materials make up the housing and internal parts? A: The pump uses a cast iron casing with an anti-corrosion coating to resist rust and fuel wear. Inside, copper motor windings keep the unit running cool under continuous load.. Q: What fluids can I safely move with this pump? A: You can pump diesel, light fuel oils, and water through the lines. Do not use it for petrol, alcohol, or other low-flashpoint liquids because the motor is not explosion-proof.. Q: What warranty coverage comes with this unit? A: It includes a one-year manufacturer warranty that covers defects in the motor and internal mechanics. If a part fails during normal operation within 12 months, we will repair or replace it.. Q: How does this unit save time compared to manual pumping? A: At 50 liters per minute, you can empty a standard 200-liter drum in four minutes flat. Hand pumps take at least 15 to 20 minutes of hard physical labor to move that same amount..
