Description
Overview
This 12v diesel transfer pump is a compact rotary-vane pump that moves up to 40 L/min of diesel from a drum, IBC or tank. It is the bare pump with a 1.5 m power cable, ready for you to add hose, nozzle and fittings to suit your own setup.
At only 4 kg it is a sensible choice for fitting to a homemade bowser, a trailer tank or a spare tank on the bakkie. If you would rather buy a complete setup, our wall-plate kits use the same pump with hose and nozzle already fitted, so you can pick whichever suits your budget and site.
Key features
- 155 W motor running at 4500 rpm on 12V DC
- Delivery of up to 40 L/min for small and medium transfers
- Rotary-vane design that lifts fuel without priming
- Only 4 kg, easy to bolt to a tank lid or bracket
- 1.5 m cable with battery clamps
Where it works
Farmers in Limpopo and North West fit a 12v diesel transfer pump to a 210 L drum on the bakkie to fuel tractors in the field, and road crews use one to top up rollers and generators. It is a good spare to keep in the store when a bowser pump gives up during harvest. Pair it with a 16 m roll of 20 mm diesel hose and an aluminium 4-digit flow meter to track every litre.

Questions about this product
How long can this pump run without stopping?
Supplier figures for this model give a duty cycle of 15 to 30 minutes. To be safe, run it for about 15 minutes, then let the motor cool for a similar time. At 40 L/min that still moves around 600 litres per run, which covers most tractor and generator fills.
Will it pump paraffin or petrol?
It handles diesel and paraffin. It must not be used for petrol, because the motor is not sealed against flammable vapour and the seals are not rated for it. For petrol or avgas you need a pump that is specifically built and certified for those fuels.
How much is delivery to Polokwane or Cape Town?
This pump ships at 4.4 kg, so it falls in the up to 30 kg band at R550 to any address in South Africa. Polokwane customers are close to our base, and Cape Town orders still arrive on our own trucks in 1 to 3 days. Orders of R20,000 or more including VAT ship free.
