This compact 12V and 24V electric oil transfer pump moves diesel, light machine oil, and fresh water at 12 liters per minute. Its 38 mm aluminum alloy casing slips into drums, storage jugs, and car tank necks to empty standard fluid containers in less than two minutes. Features and Benefits
- Solid aluminum alloy outer casing - Resists direct workshop impacts, fluid corrosion, and heat buildup during extended pump runs
- Submersible DC motor with battery alligator clips - Connects directly to car, truck, or tractor 12V batteries for immediate field drainage
- Bottom screw-off stainless filter screen - Keeps dirt particles out of the turbine mechanism and cleans under running tap water
- 16 mm hose barb connection - Accepts standard shop tubing and hose clamps for leak-free, drip-free fluid transfers Applications
- Transferring diesel fuel from 200-liter storage drums into generator and vehicle tanks
- Emptying light lubricants and non-corrosive liquids during garage and fleet maintenance tasks
- Clearing water reservoirs and bilge areas in boats, campers, and utility trailers
Key Tips for Best Results
Ensure the unit is fully submerged in the fluid before connecting it to your 12V or 24V DC power supply. Never run the pump dry, as this will quickly damage the internal components. When learning how to use oil extractor pump equipment properly, always ensure your discharge hose is secured with a tight jubilee clip to prevent unexpected leaks under pressure. If you are using this unit off-grid or after a long drive to a remote job, verify your battery terminals are clean to ensure consistent voltage. Clean the aluminum alloy housing thoroughly after transferring dirty fluids to prevent cross-contamination.
What It Is
This tool is a compact submersible oil transfer pump designed for moving low-viscosity fluids directly from containers, drums, or tanks. Built with a durable aluminum alloy body, it delivers a steady flow rate of up to 12 litres per minute. It operates on 12V or 24V DC power systems, making it well-suited for mobile service vans, plant machinery, and site work. The unit handles oil, diesel, and water efficiently. Unlike external units, this submersible design pushes fluid from the bottom of the reservoir upwards, reducing cavitation and airlocks while maintaining consistent suction.
Key Uses & Applications
This pump handles everyday fluid management tasks around the workshop, garage, or job site:
- Draining and transferring light engine oils, diesel, and clean or grey water between holding tanks.
- Filling internal fuel reservoirs for off-grid space heating appliances. How do diesel heaters work? They draw clean fuel directly into a combustion chamber to produce heat, requiring clean fuel decanting that this pump provides.
- Topping up bulk tanks on vehicles after a long drive between remote work locations.
- Supplying fluid management in workshops that also utilise electrical heating setups; how do infrared heaters work is by directly warming objects rather than air, keeping workshop work areas dry while you manage fluid transfers.
