Description
Overview
This dc-40 12v fuel pump is a compact rotary-vane transfer pump for diesel. It runs on a 12V DC supply at 155 W, moves 40 L/min and lifts fuel from 3 m below the pump to a delivery head of up to 10 m.
The cast-iron body and IP55, class B motor handle dusty farm and workshop conditions. At 4.6 kg it is light enough to mount on a bakkie tank, a drum stand or a small bowser. For trucks and plant on 24V, choose the DC-40 24V fuel transfer pump; for more flow, step up to the DC-60 12V fuel transfer pump. The wider fuel transfer pumps range covers hoses and accessories.

Where it works
Farmers in the Free State and Limpopo use the DC-40 to fuel tractors from a drum or small tank, and contractors in Gauteng and KZN mount it on a bakkie tank. Mine service teams in Mpumalanga use 12V pumps like this on lube trucks, and the battery supply keeps it working through load-shedding. A dc-40 12v fuel pump is simple to wire and quick to fit, which is why bakkie-mounted tanks use it. Run a fused feed from the battery with a switch, keep the hose runs short and use a strainer on the suction side to protect the vanes.

Questions about this product
Will the DC-40 run off a bakkie battery?
Yes, it is a 12V DC pump drawing 155 W, so a vehicle battery will run it. Use a fused feed with a switch, keep the cable short and thick, keep the engine running on long fills so the battery stays charged, and let the pump rest after 30 minutes of continuous running.
Can the DC-40 pump petrol?
No. It is sold as a diesel transfer pump and is not rated for petrol. Petrol needs an explosion-proof pump designed for that fuel, so ask us for a suitable model if you need to move petrol, and do not improvise with a diesel pump.
