This self-priming electric pump moves fuel between storage tanks, drums, and heavy machinery. Powered by a 580W motor, the unit draws fluid up from 5 to 6 meters and pushes up to 50 liters per minute. It connects directly to standard power setups to empty full fuel drums without manual siphoning. Features and Benefits
- 580-watt electric motor - Pulls diesel and kerosene across a 5-6 meter suction lift at 50 liters per minute.
- Multi-voltage power options - Plugs into 12V, 24V, or 220V power sources to match your shop or field setup.
- Self-priming pump mechanism - Starts moving fluid right away without pre-filling the intake line by hand.
- Cast housing with threaded ports - Handles daily fuel handling without cracked fittings or motor body leaks. Applications
- Pumping diesel straight into tractors, backhoes, and combines directly on the job site.
- Refueling trucks, RVs, and work vans from bulk storage tanks without hand pumps.
- Transferring kerosene and diesel fuel aboard fishing vessels, work boats, and commercial tugs.
Key Compatibility Differences
Input voltage options include 12V, 24V, and 220V variants, allowing you to match the unit directly to vehicle batteries or site mains. Compatible media is strictly limited to diesel and oil. Tradespeople frequently ask: can you use a diesel transfer pump for gasoline. The short answer is no. Why are fuel transfer pump units of this type not suitable gasoline hazards relate to flash points. Petrol vapour ignites easily, even below 43°c or 45°f, requiring fully explosion-proof motors and switches. Running petrol through standard diesel internals risks static build-up, vapour ignition, and rapid seal degradation.
What It Is
What is a diesel transfer pump on a working site. It is a dedicated, self-priming electric pump engineered to shift standard diesel and lubrication oil between storage drums, vehicle tanks, and mobile plant. Because the internal mechanism is self-priming, it draws fluid through dry suction hoses without requiring manual fluid priming before operation. The heavy-duty housing protects the motor during transport between jobs. It handles regular liquid transfer duties across workshops, yards, and remote vehicle locations where gravity-fed lines are impractical or far too slow for day-to-day fleet management.
Key Uses & Applications
This unit serves as a mobile refueling station across multiple transport and trade sectors. Key applications include:
- Refueling commercial road transport including trucks and light commercial haulage.
- Site refueling for plant machinery, tractors, and off-road vehicles working off-grid.
- Bunkering diesel supplies for marine vessels, workboats, and barges at moorings.
- Top-up transfers for large leisure vehicles, mobile workshops, and RVs.
- Fluid evacuation and bulk oil replenishment directly from standard 205-litre drums.
The selection of 12V or 24V models enables field-side power straight from vehicle jump points, while 220V suits permanent workshop benches.

Product Type: Diesel Transfer Pump. Self-Priming Capability: Yes, Rotary Vane Mechanism. Suction Lift: 5 m. Q: What flow rate and voltage options does this diesel transfer pump offer? A: You can pick 12V, 24V, or 220V models depending on your power source. It moves up to 45 liters per minute with a self-priming suction lift of roughly 3 meters.. Q: What materials make up the internal pump housing and motor? A: The casing uses cast iron with an anti-corrosion coating. Inside, it runs pure copper motor windings and a steel impeller to handle steady daily pumping.. Q: Which vehicles and fuel types work with this unit? A: It transfers diesel and light oils into trucks, tractors, RVs, and boats. Do not use it for gasoline, alcohol, or other low-flashpoint fluids.. Q: What warranty coverage comes with the pump? A: It includes a standard 12-month warranty against motor burnout and manufacturing faults. If a seal fails or the switch stops working within that year, we replace it.. Q: How does this unit save money compared to stationary fuel stations? A: It lets you fill equipment straight from bulk drums on-site instead of driving machinery to commercial pumps. The 45 L/min speed empties a standard 200-liter drum in under five minutes..
