Orion Motor Tech Diesel Transfer Pump 12 GPM ⛽

This 12V portable diesel transfer pump helps move diesel, kerosene, and other low-viscosity oils quickly at service bays or on-site. It delivers up to 12 gallons per minute for filling or emptying engines and tanks, and its compact design combines portability with a mountable base for workshop or marine use.

Key Points

The pump is self-priming and designed for straightforward fuel transfer, making routine oil changes and tank refills faster. According to the manufacturer, it can suction from a maximum depth of 32 feet and maintain a practical suction length of up to 16.4 feet for most garage scenarios. It includes a metal strainer to reduce debris intake and an internal bypass valve to protect the motor when flow is restricted.

Technical Specifications

• Name: Orion Motor Tech Diesel Transfer Pump
• Power: 12V motor
• Flow rate: 12 GPM
• Maximum suction lift: 32 ft
• Maximum suction length: 16.4 ft
• Construction: cast steel impeller and copper motor

Benefits

A compact footprint and integrated handle make transporting the unit between vehicles and work sites less cumbersome. The cast steel impeller paired with a copper motor aims to deliver steady suction and longer component life under regular use. Noise output is relatively low for this class of pump, so it can be used comfortably in smaller repair shops.

Usage Recommendations

Use only with low-viscosity oils such as diesel and kerosene, and note that oil is not included with the pump. Prior to operation, secure the pump on its mountable base for stable pumping and place the metal strainer in the fuel source to limit particulate ingestion. Consider that heavy contaminants or very thick fluids may reduce performance and could trigger the bypass protection, which prevents motor burn when flow is obstructed.
