Giantz 12V Diesel Transfer Pump Extractor Oil Fuel Electric Bowser Auto Display

A drum of diesel in the back of the ute is only useful if the fuel can get out of it. Hand cranking 60 litres into an excavator is a long, dull afternoon, and a siphon is worse. A 12 volt pump clipped straight to a battery shifts 40 litres a minute, which turns that afternoon into a couple of minutes standing still.

Trigger control rather than a tap

The nozzle works the way a bowser nozzle does: squeeze for flow, release to stop, with a three-stage lock to hold a set rate on long fills. An automatic cut-out closes the flow when fluid backs up. Behind it sits a bypass valve returning fluid to the inlet if the outlet is shut, which is why a closed valve or a kinked hose does not cook the 180 W motor.

Ground setup or permanent mount

Two metres of clear reinforced inlet hose and four of outlet let the pump sit between a drum and a machine without either being moved. Clear hose is deliberate: an air lock or a dry drum shows itself immediately. An ultra-fine brass filter on the inlet keeps larger particles out of what gets delivered, and the mounting base takes fasteners if the pump is staying on a trailer.

• Auto cut-out nozzle: stops delivery on flow-back, with a three-stage trigger lock.
• Bypass valve: protects the motor against a closed outlet or blocked line.

Before you use it

• The supplier's warning is explicit: this pump is designed for handling diesel, oil and water only, and is not recommended for use with petrol or flammable liquids. Its feature list separately mentions bio-diesel and kerosene. Where the two disagree, treat the warning as the limit and contact us before pumping anything else.
• 12 V DC only. Connect the clips directly to a battery or DC supply of the correct polarity.
• Assembly is required before first use.
• Transfer fuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources, with no smoking nearby, and bond or earth metal containers before transferring.

Suited to farm, mine site and workshop refuelling, and to filling or emptying diesel and oil storage tanks where mains power is not an option.
