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.

How long can diesel be stored in a fuel tank?

The ideal storage life of diesel fuel depends on several factors, including:

  • Storage conditions: Cool, dark, and dry environments are best. Exposure to sunlight and heat can accelerate fuel degradation.
  • Fuel quality: Fresh, high-quality diesel will generally store for longer periods.
  • Presence of contaminants: Water and dirt contamination can significantly shorten the lifespan of stored diesel.

Generally, under optimal conditions, clean diesel can last for up to 12 months in storage. However, it’s always recommended to consult your fuel supplier or refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for specific storage advice.

 

Can you put petrol in a diesel pod?

Absolutely not! Petrol and diesel are completely different fuels, and using the wrong fuel in your engine can cause serious damage. Rapid Spray’s diesel pods and tanks are specifically designed for storing and dispensing diesel fuel only. Using a diesel pod for petrol can also be a fire hazard.

Always ensure you are using the correct fuel type for your equipment and that you clearly label your diesel storage containers to avoid any confusion.
