Are diesel transfer pumps different from petrol pumps?

Absolutely. While they share some similarities, there are key distinctions:

• Material compatibility: Diesel is slightly more aggressive than petrol. Diesel pumps use specific materials designed to handle this difference, while using a petrol pump for diesel can lead to damage.
• Flow rate: Diesel is a thicker liquid (higher viscosity) than petrol. Diesel transfer pumps are typically engineered for slower flow rates to optimize efficiency.
• Safety features: Some diesel pumps may have additional safety measures, such as earthing straps, to minimize the risk of sparks during operation.

Do I need to prime a diesel transfer pump?

Yes, priming is generally a necessary step for most diesel transfer pumps, especially if the pump sits above the fuel tank. Priming involves filling the pump housing and hose with fuel to eliminate air pockets that can hinder flow.

The specific priming process can vary depending on the pump model. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for your pump to ensure proper priming techniques.

Rapid Spray diesel transfer pumps typically come with clear priming instructions for a smooth and efficient refuelling experience.
