Giantz Fuel Transfer Pump Electric Diesel Kerosene Pump 12V DC 10GPM Nozzle Hose

Tipping a 205 litre drum to fill a tractor is how diesel ends up on the ground, on your boots and rarely in the tank. This Giantz unit runs off any 12 volt battery and does the work for you. Read the fluid list first: the supplier warns it is not for petrol.

Diesel and oil only, not petrol

The supplier's warning is explicit that this pump suits diesel, oil and water, and is not suitable for petrol or flammable liquids. That is a design limit, not a caution to work around: a pump built for diesel has no protection against igniting petrol vapour. Confusingly, the same listing names bio-diesel and kerosene among its features while the warning restricts it to diesel, oil and water. Treat the warning as governing and check with the supplier before running anything else through it.

Forty litres a minute off a battery

A 175 W motor spinning at 3500 rpm produces the quoted 40 L/min, drawn straight from a vehicle or shed battery through welded wire and alligator clips. Suction is limited to 2 m and lift to 10 m, so the drum wants to sit close to the pump. A brass filter catches the sediment that settles in any drum left standing, and the trigger nozzle cuts out when the receiving tank fills.

Key features

• Auto cut-out nozzle: stops the flow at the fill point, so a machine tank does not overrun.
• Brass in-line filter: keeps drum sediment out of the injector pump downstream.
• Alligator clips on welded wire: connects to a battery without wiring anything permanently.
• 2 m inlet and 4 m outlet hose: reach to leave the drum in the shade and fill in the yard.

Before you use it

• Never pump petrol with this unit. The supplier states plainly that it is not suitable for petrol or flammable liquids.
• Diesel flowing through a hose builds static. Keep the nozzle in contact with the filler neck and stand the receiving container on the ground, not on a plastic tray liner.
• Work in the open or in a well-ventilated shed, away from naked flame, welding and grinding sparks.
• Do not run the pump dry. These motors rely on the fluid passing through them for cooling and lubrication.
