12V Diesel Transfer Pump | 38mm Submersible Extractor | 12L/Min 25W Auto

This compact diesel transfer pump moves up to 12 liters per minute using a 25W motor. The 38mm aluminum alloy body fits standard drum openings and operates on DC power. It quickly empties barrels, drains tanks, or handles water drainage without spills or hand priming. Features and Benefits - 38mm aluminum alloy housing - Slips into narrow drum openings while resisting corrosion and mechanical wear - DC cigarette lighter power plug - Runs directly off vehicle batteries in remote fields without separate generators - Removable stainless base filter - Catches debris before it reaches the impeller and twists off for quick rinsing - 16mm barbed outlet port - Connects securely to standard 16mm tubing so fuel flows without loose connections or leaks Applications - Refueling tractors, combines, and field equipment directly from 55-gallon drums on site - Draining bilge compartments, sump basins, and fresh water storage tanks around the shop - Moving diesel fuel between vehicle tanks and backup storage containers during maintenance Key Compatibility Differences Can you use a diesel transfer pump for gasoline. The short answer is no. A common trade question is why are fuel transfer pump units of this design not suitable gasoline. Petrol has a much lower flashpoint than standard fuels, creating a severe vapour ignition risk near standard DC electrics. Ambient heat around 43°c or even cold starts at 45°f can generate hazardous vapours. This aluminium alloy unit is strictly configured for heavier viscosity media. Compatible fluids are limited to diesel, fuel, water, and oil. Never run highly volatile, low-flashpoint solvents or petrol through this mechanism. What It Is What is a diesel transfer pump. It is a compact, self-contained fluid extraction tool built to shift liquid straight from drums, tanks, or reservoirs. This specific model is a submersible diesel transfer pump with a narrow 38 mm diameter outer casing. Machined from aluminium alloy, the housing drops directly into narrow container necks. Running on DC 12V or 24V vehicle power via a standard car cigarette lighter plug, the internal 25 W motor drives a steady flow rate of up to 12 L/min, giving tradespeople a clean, off-grid method for decanting fluids on site without manual siphoning. Key Uses & Applications This extractor is designed for vehicle maintenance, plant servicing, and mobile site operations. - Pumping standard diesel into plant machinery, generators, and site heaters from bulk cans. - Draining engine oil or standard fuel mixtures from sumps and storage vessels during servicing. - Removing standing bilge water from footings, tanks, or equipment trays. - Decanting light lubricating oils between drums in mobile repair vans. The slim 38 mm body fits standard fluid drums, while the car cigarette lighter plug connects to any 12V or 24V socket for instant, mess-free transfers at 12 L/min without mains power.
