Fuel & Oil Transfer Pumps

Categorie

Fuel and oil transfer pumps are specialized pumps designed to safely and efficiently move fuel oils, diesel, petrol, kerosene, lubricants, or hydraulic oils from one container or tank to another. These pumps are widely used in industrial, automotive, marine, and agricultural applications.

  • Diesel Transfer Pumps – Used in fuel distribution systems.
  • Heavy-Duty Rotary Pumps – Reliable performance for fuel, oil, and lubrication systems.
  • Metering Pumps – Precision dosing of chemicals and lubricants.

Description

🔧 Working Principle:

Depending on the application, these pumps may be of the:

  • Positive Displacement type (gear, vane, diaphragm) – used for oils and viscous fuels

  • Centrifugal type – for high-volume, lower-viscosity fuel movement

The pump draws liquid through the inlet, and using mechanical energy (usually from an electric or manual motor), pressurizes and pushes the fuel through the outlet.

🔧 Key Components 

Component Description
Pump Housing / Casing Encloses internal parts and directs fuel/oil flow; made from aluminum, cast iron, or stainless steel.
Inlet & Outlet Ports Entry and exit points for fluid; often threaded or flanged.
Displacement Mechanism Core component that moves the fluid — varies by pump type (gear, vane, diaphragm, impeller).
Motor / Drive System Powers the pump — can be electric (AC/DC), manual, pneumatic, or hydraulic.
Shaft Transfers torque from the motor to the displacement mechanism.
Shaft Seal / Gasket Prevents leakage of fuel/oil around rotating shaft.
Relief / Bypass Valve Protects pump from overpressure; recirculates excess fuel back to suction side or tank.
Check Valve Prevents backflow and maintains direction of flow (often in-line or internal).
Filter / Strainer (Optional) Prevents debris from entering the pump and damaging internal parts.
Pressure Gauge (Optional) Monitors output pressure for safety and efficiency.
Flow Meter (Optional) Measures and displays the quantity of fuel/oil transferred.
Control Panel (if electric) Enables start/stop and speed control, with overload protection.

🧪Typical Applications:

  • Fuel stations and dispensing systems

  • Diesel generator fuel supply

  • Oil tank loading/unloading

  • Marine fueling (boats, ships)

  • Lubrication systems

  • Industrial fuel circulation

  • Farm and construction equipment fueling
