Description
Dispense gasoline, diesel, and kerosene straight from mobile service truck tanks. The Fill-Rite Fuel Pump Kit 12VDC 20GPM package provides fast field refueling for heavy earthmovers. A 12-volt DC continuous-duty motor turns a rotary vane pump. Refueling speed drops when battery voltage falls below 11.5 volts under winter cold-cranking conditions.
Cast-iron forms the rugged pump body, coated in weather-resistant red powder paint. Bronze rotor vanes rotate inside a precision-machined iron cavity to generate strong suction lift. The explosion-proof 0.33-horsepower DC motor features permanent magnets and sealed bearings for extended wear life. A 2-inch threaded base mounts straight onto mobile fuel transfer tanks. Thermal protection stops motor burnout.
Mobile DC Fuel System Highlights
Field mechanics refuel bulldozers and tractors 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 20 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
- Thermal overload protector shuts off DC power before motor field coils overheat
- Heavy 18-foot dispensing hose withstands abrasion wear across rocky jobsite gravel
- Manual bronze dispensing nozzle with hook allows controlled fuel flow into tanks
DC Dyno Flow Bench Data
Bench testing demonstrates the motor draws 28 Amps across 12-volt DC lines under full 20 GPM diesel flow. Operating pressure stabilizes at 16 PSI across an 18-foot discharge hose. Motor casing temperature reaches 142°F after 30 minutes of continuous fuel dispensing. Sound meters record 76 dBA at 1 meter distance from the pump body.
Field Application Operator Boundaries
You wire this pump to service truck batteries using the included heavy copper power cable. The integrated nozzle boot protects the dispensing tip from road dirt during transit. 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 inline wire strainer for tank rust particles 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
Commercial Warranty Specifications Manifest
Fill-Rite backs this 12-volt fuel pump with a 2-Year limited manufacturer warranty. The factory package contains the 12VDC pump, 18-foot fuel hose, manual nozzle, 18-foot power cable, telescoping suction pipe, and installation guide.
