12V Electric Self-Priming Pump for Diesel and Oil Transfer with 250L/h Flow Rate

This 12V electric self-priming pump offers a straightforward way to transfer diesel, motor oil, crude oil, and heating oil without manual effort. Designed for use with a standard car battery, it provides portable power wherever needed. The included hoses and simple push-button control make it accessible for both professional and home use, reducing downtime during maintenance or refuelling tasks. With a flow rate of approximately 250 litres per hour for diesel, it handles bulk transfer efficiently while maintaining a steady 1 litre per minute for warmer oils.

Features and Construction

The pump is built around a yellow engineering plastic housing that resists corrosion from fuels and oils. It operates on a DC12V-13.5V supply with a maximum current draw of 5A, delivering up to 60W of pumping power.

Material and Build

The engineering plastic body provides a lightweight yet robust enclosure for the internal pump mechanism. The yellow colouring improves visibility during use, reducing the chance of accidental knocks or loss in a workshop or garage environment.

Size and Practical Fit

The unit is supplied in a compact box measuring 25 x 18 x 9 cm, making it easy to store in a vehicle boot or tool shelf. The 2.5-metre power wire allows flexible placement near a battery, while the included hoses offer adequate reach for most transfer tasks.

Uses and Placement

This pump is intended for transferring a range of fluids commonly encountered in automotive and agricultural settings. Its self-priming capability means it can lift fluid from a drum or tank without manual priming.

Event or Professional Use

Mechanics and fleet operators can use the pump for rapid oil changes or fuel transfer between vehicles and storage containers. The battery clips and cigarette lighter adapter allow immediate power from any 12V vehicle, making it a practical tool for mobile service vans.

Everyday Home Use

Home users with diesel generators, heating oil tanks, or small engines will find this pump useful for topping up reservoirs or draining old oil. The simple button operation means no complicated setup is required.

Benefits and Buying Value

The pump offers time savings over manual siphoning and reduces mess from spills. Its portability and direct battery connection eliminate the need for mains power, expanding where it can be used.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

After each use, the hoses can be drained and the pump wiped clean. The engineering plastic body resists damage from typical workshop fluids, and the simple mechanical design requires minimal servicing beyond keeping connections clean.

Why Choose This Product

With a 250L/h flow rate for diesel and a 1L/min rate for warm oil, this pump provides a balanced performance for both quick bulk transfers and slower, controlled oil changes. The inclusion of both battery clips and a cigarette lighter connector adds versatility for different vehicle power points.
