Description
Overview
This 70 l/min diesel transfer pump is a 12V DC cast-iron rotary-vane pump with 1 inch BSP ports. It is sold as the bare pump, ready to bolt onto a bowser, a trailer tank or a fixed fuel point, and it moves diesel at nearly twice the rate of a 40 L/min pump.
Buy it to build your own setup, or as a direct replacement when the pump on an older bowser gives up in the middle of the season. The cast-iron housing takes knocks and heat far better than light alloy pumps. Add your own hose, nozzle and meter to suit the job, or ask us to recommend matching parts from our range so everything threads together first time.
Key features
- 550 W 12V DC motor, 20 to 70 L/min
- Cast-iron rotary-vane pump body
- Up to 3 bar, enough for long hoses and hose reels
- 30 minute duty cycle
- 1 inch BSP inlet and outlet for standard fittings
Where it works
Contractors fitting out a bakkie or trailer bowser for road work in the Eastern Cape, and farmers in the Free State refuelling combines in the land, choose a 70 l/min diesel transfer pump because it cuts waiting time at each machine. Mines use it on service trucks that fuel plant across a large pit. Mount it with a large standard hose reel and a 20 m roll of 25 mm diesel hose for a proper mobile fuel setup.

Questions about this product
Can I run this 550 W pump from a bakkie battery?
Yes, with care. A 550 W motor on 12V draws heavy current, so wire it directly to the battery with thick, fused cable and keep the engine idling while you pump. For a fixed fuel point, a deep-cycle battery topped up by solar or a charger is the better setup. Limit runs to 30 minutes.
Will it fit in place of my old bowser pump?
Usually yes, if your old pump has 1 inch BSP ports and runs on 12V. Check the bolt pattern of the mounting foot and the cable length you need before ordering. Send us a photo of the old pump and its plate, and we will tell you what adaptors, if any, are needed.
