Description
Refuel massive earthmoving machinery, logging skidders, and locomotive fuel tanks fast. The Fill-Rite 17 GPM 12V DC High flow transfer pump package provides mobile fuel dispensing on remote sites. A 12-volt DC explosion-proof motor turns a high-output rotary vane pump. Fuel transfer rates drop when truck battery banks dip below 11.5 volts under cold winter cranking.
Cast-iron forms the rugged pump body, finished with durable corrosion-resistant industrial powder paint. Bronze rotor vanes sweep within the machined iron pumping cavity to push fuel efficiently. A high-capacity 1-inch automatic shutoff nozzle stops tank overflows during high-speed refueling runs. A 2-inch threaded base mounts straight onto mobile fuel transfer tanks. Thermal overload protection stops motor burnout.
Ultra High Flow Hardware Traits
Field mechanics refuel bulldozers on remote jobsites without utility power drops. The high-flow DC motor connects straight to vehicle battery systems for fast fuel transfer.
- Permanent-magnet 12-volt DC motor delivers steady power from mobile equipment batteries
- Rotary vane pumping mechanism produces 17 GPM for fast equipment tank replenishment
- Cast-iron pump housing resists severe weather rust and heavy worksite impacts
- Internal pressure bypass valve stops fluid dead-head overpressure when nozzles shut
- Ultra high-flow 1-inch automatic nozzle shuts off fuel flow when tank fills
- Heavy 18-foot dispensing hose withstands abrasion wear across rocky jobsite gravel
- One-inch NPT fluid ports maintain rapid delivery across long fuel lines
Dynamometer Stress Telemetry Data
Bench testing demonstrates the motor draws 26 Amps across 12-volt DC lines under full 17 GPM diesel flow. Operating pressure stabilizes at 18 PSI across the 18-foot discharge hose. Motor casing temperature reaches 140°F after 30 minutes of continuous fuel dispensing. Sound meters record 75 dBA at 1 meter distance from the pump body.
Worksite Performance Practical Notes
You wire this pump to service truck batteries using the included heavy copper power cable. The automatic nozzle shutoff allows hands-free filling on large machinery tanks. Do not run this pump dry for longer than 3 minutes. Dry running without fuel lubrication scores the bronze vanes and ruins pump vacuum.
- Inspect the internal wire strainer screen for rust flakes every 30 days
- Check the DC battery cable clamps for corrosion and tight terminal contact
- Ground the transfer tank to vehicle chassis steel to stop static sparks
Factory Warranty Complete Terms
