Fuel Transfer Pump for Makita 18V | 12 GPM Cordless Kit | Dual 6.6FT Hoses

This portable fuel transfer pump delivers 12 gallons per minute without needing an electrical outlet. Built as a bare tool compatible with Makita 18V batteries, it uses a self-priming motor to siphon diesel and kerosene quickly. Two 6.6-foot hoses handle field equipment refueling anywhere on your property. Features and Benefits - Makita 18V battery mount - Runs on standard 18V power tool batteries so you can pump fuel off grid. - 12 GPM flow output - Transfers a full 55-gallon fuel drum in under five minutes. - Self-priming pump mechanism - Draws fluid upward without manual siphoning to prevent airlocks and messy spills. - Dual 6.6-foot reinforced hoses - Provides 13 feet of total reach between storage barrels and vehicle tanks. Applications - Topping off diesel tanks on combines, excavators, and skid steers directly in working fields. - Transferring bulk kerosene into space heaters and workshop heating drums during winter months. - Moving clean diesel between transfer tanks, stationary barrels, and pickup truck bed reservoirs. Key Compatibility Differences Battery interface fitment determines real-world portability on site. This kit connects directly to standard 18V Makita interface power tool batteries, eliminating the need for trailing 12V crocodile clips, mains leads, or dedicated battery platforms. The primary technical limitation concerns fluid compatibility. Diesel, kerosene, and general non-petrol fuel work reliably through this mechanism. You cannot use a diesel transfer pump for gasoline. Standard fuel transfer pumps are not suitable for gasoline because petrol produces explosive vapours at low ambient temperatures, well below 45°F, requiring spark-proof, explosion-proof motor casings. Running volatile petrol through non-certified motors introduces severe ignition hazards, especially when ambient temperatures exceed 43°C. What It Is A diesel transfer pump is a dedicated mechanical pumping unit engineered to draw heavy fuel from a storage barrel, IBC, or bulk tank and deliver it directly into machinery. This cordless electric kit includes the main pump unit alongside dual 2 metre (6.6 ft) hoses to manage both fluid intake and delivery. Driven by an 18V battery platform, the internal motor pushes fluid at a continuous flow rate of 45.4 L/min (12 GPM). This design replaces manual siphon tubes and heavy hand rotary pumps, delivering rapid, mess-free bulk fluid handling without relying on static workshop power supplies. Key Uses & Applications This cordless kit handles rapid liquid movement across transport, plant hire, and agricultural settings. It delivers reliable refuelling for site machinery, plant equipment, and tractors directly from static fuel depots or storage barrels. Practical uses include: - Transferring red diesel from bulk containers directly into site diggers, dumpers, and mobile plant. - Decanting kerosene into site heaters or domestic storage tanks. - Bunkering standard road diesel into light commercial vehicles in remote yards. - Moving clean fuel between storage drums using the supplied dual 2-metre hoses without risking spills or manual lifting injuries.
