Unleaded Petrol & Diesel Pump Kit
Description
These are spark safe 12V pumps suited for use with unleaded petrol as well as kerosene, diesel and some other fuels and solvents. Ideal for transferring fuels at high flow rates. The kit includes hose, fittings, dip tube and auto shutoff nozzle.
12V Petrol Diesel Pump
One of our best selling models. These pumps are sealed to be explosion proof and suitable for use with petrol, diesel, kerosene, some solvents and mineral spirits. Note: This pump is not recommended for use with aviation fuels as the body of the pump is constructed from cast iron which has potential to release particles of rust into the fuel system potentially blocking fuel filters.
This pump is predominantly designed as a drum pump, it has a 2" BSP connection making it ideal for mounting to the top of a 44 gallon style drum.
These pumps are ideal for fuel transfers, refueling tractors, machinery, boats plus much more. They offer high transfer rates up to 75L/min.
Included with the kit is 4m of discharge hose, an automatic shut off nozzle, adjustable dip tube and a length of power cable. There is a nozzle holder built into the pump which also incorporates a sturdy on/off lever switch to activate the pump when required.
A key feature to these pumps is the incorporation of an automatic internal bypass valve into the pump chamber. This bypass valve allows the fuel to recirculate around the pump rotor during periods where the nozzle is closed to flow yet the pump is still running. This protects the pump from overload before and after transfer when the pump is running yet the fuel isn't flowing. These pumps should only be operated in this bypass mode for periods of 2-3mins maximum to avoid overheating the fluid being recirculated.
Compatible Fluids
This pump kit is ideally suited to Diesel, Unleaded Petrol, Gasoline, Kerosene and Mineral Spirits
It may also work with some solvents and water based solutions. The pumps are a sliding vane design and rely on the fluid they're pumping to help lubricate the vanes and slow wear. Users should check materials of construction and compatibility and operate at their own risk for fluids not listed above.
Ethanol and blended fuels can be pumped with caveats. The pump is fitted with Viton internal seals making it compatible with ethanol fuels however the supplied hose is NBR material which is not compatible and will degrade over time. Scintex can supply additional hose in EPDM material with fittings for ethanol customers. The nozzle supplied also contains NBR seals which may degrade and need replacing with Viton if pumping Ethanol blended fuels.
This pump is not suitable for pumping Methanol as it will degrade the Viton seals.
