Refuel machinery quickly with this 990W fuel transfer pump featuring an automatic shut-off dispensing handle. The electric pump moves thick fluids without overheating the motor during continuous work. An internal switch cuts flow once the target tank is full, preventing messy spills on garage floors. Features and Benefits
- 990-watt pure copper motor - Pushes high liquid volume across diesel, kerosene, and light oils
- Auto-stop delivery nozzle - Cuts fuel flow mechanically the moment liquid touches the spout tip
- Built-in pressure bypass valve - Protects motor seals from pressure spikes when the handle closes
- Metal baseplate with mounting holes - Anchors the unit securely to slip tanks or workshop benches Applications
- Filling commercial truck tanks and construction fleets from stationary outdoor fuel depots
- Transferring light heating oil and white oil between storage bladders in warehouse facilities
- Mobile fueling setups mounted inside service truck beds for remote heavy equipment maintenance
Key Compatibility Differences
This unit is rated strictly for heavier oils: diesel, kerosene, and white oil. A frequent trade question is whether you can use a diesel transfer pump for gasoline. The answer is no. Diesel transfer pumps are not suitable for gasoline due to crucial safety differences. Petrol produces highly volatile vapours that ignite well below 43°c (or cold conditions below 45°f), demanding internal explosion-proof seals and certified motor housings that standard fuel pumps lack. Using this 990W motor with petrol risks an ignition hazard and damages seals designed specifically for diesel-grade lubricity.
What It Is
What is a diesel transfer pump? It is a dedicated, self-contained fluid handling unit designed to shift volume fuel out of storage barrels, intermediate bulk containers, or site bowsers into plant tanks. Driven by a 990W motor, this high-flow fuel transfer pump features automatic start-stop control, turning off the motor when the dispensing nozzle closes to protect internal components from dead-head pressure. It operates across 12V, 24V, and 220V power setups, making it adaptable for fixed workshop benches or direct mobile connection to vehicle batteries.
Key Uses & Applications
- Refuelling site plant, tractors, and excavators straight from drums or mobile bunded tanks
- Decanting kerosene into space heaters or domestic heating oil stores
- Topping up commercial vehicle fleets back at the depot using 12V, 24V, or 220V mains supplies
- Transferring white oil batches in maintenance bays without manual barrel pumping
- Managing emergency field refuelling where auto start-stop prevents overfilling on site
Always secure inlet and discharge hoses with proper pipe clips before turning the unit on, and keep the motor dry during outdoor winter refuelling.
Power: 990W. Voltage: 12V / 24V / 220V. Compatible Fluids: Diesel, Kerosene, White Oil. Control Type: Automatic Start-Stop. Product Type: Fuel Transfer Pump. Inlet/Outlet Thread Size: 1 inch NPT / BSP. Product Dimensions: 310 x 205 x 195 mm. Suction Height Limit: 6 m. Unit Weight: 7.5 kg. Fuel Transfer Pump Motor Power: 990 W. Operating Voltage Compatibility: 12V DC / 24V DC / 220V AC. Motor Protection Rating: IP55. Bypass Valve: Integrated Internal Bypass Valve. Compatible Fluids: Diesel, Kerosene, White Mineral Oil. Max Dispensing Flow Rate: 70 L/min. Maximum Delivery Lift: 15 m. Nozzle Type: Automatic Shut-Off Fuel Nozzle. System Control: Automatic Start-Stop Pressure Sensing. Working Pressure: 0.3 MPa (3 bar). Q: What power options and output rates does this fuel transfer pump offer? A: You can get this fuel transfer pump in 12V DC, 24V DC, or 220V AC versions running a 990W motor. The pump produces flow rates up to 60 to 70 liters per minute with a suction lift of roughly 3 to 5 meters. That output lets you fill heavy machinery quickly from on-site storage tanks.. Q: How does the automatic start-stop mechanism function? A: An integrated pressure switch detects when you open or close the fuel dispensing nozzle. When you squeeze the handle, pressure drops and the motor starts pumping; releasing the handle shuts the motor off immediately. This setup keeps the system from deadheading and prevents internal seal wear.. Q: Which liquids can I safely pump with this 990W dispenser? A: The pump works with diesel, kerosene, light hydraulic fluid, and white oil. It is not rated for gasoline, ethanol, or chemicals like bleach and acids that degrade standard nitrile seals. Using it strictly with oils and middle-distillate fuels keeps the internal vanes lubricated and working smoothly.. Q: What is the warranty period for the 990W fuel pump assembly? A: The complete pump assembly carries a one-year warranty against electrical faults, pressure switch failure, and pump head defects. If the motor burns out under normal working conditions within twelve months, the manufacturer supplies replacement parts. Wear on the outer dispensing hose and nozzle latch is not covered.. Q: What makes this dispensing system worth the investment over basic siphon hoses? A: The 990W motor cuts refueling time to a fraction of hand pumping, saving work hours every week. Automatic start-stop operation prevents motor burnouts and messy fuel spills caused by bypass pressure buildup. You get a complete station setup that handles daily equipment fueling straight from bulk containers..
