Advantages of hand-held devices
A mechanical fuel pump should not be compared with other types of equipment. It is intended for household tasks, but not for industrial ones. But still, a manual unit also has its advantages:
- simplicity. Almost every detail is immovable. All elements are made of durable stainless steel. Thus, manufacturers have reduced the risk of breakdown to a minimum;
- compactness. A manual fuel pump does not take up much space. It can always be moved close to the container, wherever it is;
- performance. Of course, it cannot be compared with electric models. But for domestic needs and for force majeure, fuel hand pumps are quite suitable;
- versatility. Using a mechanical device, you can pump any type of fuel: gasoline, diesel fuel and other petroleum products;
- stability. Fuel hand pumps can be used at any time of the year. No breakdowns or freezing - an excellent solution for owners of diesel vehicles.
These arguments once again confirm that a hand pump is an indispensable thing in the household.
Hand pumps
It is known that a manual fuel pump is a special equipment that is used to transfer fuel liquids from one container to another container. Additionally, this type of pump can be used for bottling liquid oils, as well as cutting fluids. It is possible to use a manual fuel pump to refuel passenger cars and agricultural machinery. Typically, a manual diesel fuel pump is used in situations where it is not possible to use powerful equipment equipped with an electric drive. This type of equipment has recently gained great popularity due to its relatively low cost and ease of use, as well as maintenance of fuel equipment. Design nuances of a manual fuel pump The manual fuel pump operates using pressure differences; they occur in the fuel pump due to the presence of a special piston. A manual fuel pump is one of the most convenient and economical options for refueling vehicles and various types of special equipment. It is known that the manual fuel pump has certain features: a pressure hose is installed, it is resistant to the influence of any types of fuel and oils. The delivery set of the manual diesel fuel pump includes a special adapter equipped with a system for selecting the appropriate height, which is necessary for installing the equipment. There are models of equipment that are equipped with a large number of special telescopic tubes, using them you can quickly and easily fix the pump on a barrel of any size. Advantages and nuances of installing a hand pump that is used for pumping fuel Let's look at the main advantages of a modern fuel pump - almost all elements of this type of pump are made of high-quality and durable steel. The low weight of the equipment allows you to quickly install the pump on the tank. Another advantage is that the fuel in it does not freeze and can be used all year round. Due to the use of high-strength steel in the design of this device, the pump is resistant to various types of negative influences. Sudden changes in temperature do not have a negative impact on the performance of the manual fuel pump. It is important that if you buy a manual fuel pump, you can avoid additional financial costs. After all, the package already contains all the elements necessary for refueling. The quality of installation of a manual fuel pump will directly determine the productivity of the equipment and its durability. Since all manufactured pumps, depending on the manufacturer, differ slightly in functionality, characteristics, and size, installation should be carried out in accordance with the recommendations specified in the documentation attached to the purchased equipment for arranging a mini-gas station.
Characteristics of fuel pumps
The characteristics of the devices listed in the catalog will show you the main parameters, help you make a choice and buy the optimal pump for pumping fuel:
The design features of various models allow you to choose not only equipment that meets your performance needs, but also one that is convenient to use. The fastening device of the manual barrel pump allows you to attach it to the neck of the vessel, greatly simplifying the work. The presence of a coarse filter at the submersible pump prevents mechanical contaminants from entering. The stops at the bottom of the body of the submersible model allow it to be installed on the bottom of the tank in a vertical position - the pump does not stick to its surface.
On our website you can buy fuel transfer pumps produced by BelAvtoKomplekt. We offer a wide range of equipment for convenient and fast fuel transfer - submersible and surface pumps of various configurations, both manually driven and electric, powered from the mains or from a car battery. You can place an order using our catalog, or by contacting the manager by phone or email.
Scope of application of technology
Pumping units are indispensable at any gas station or in a company with a personal fleet of vehicles. Very often, the pump that is part of the complex equipment for gas stations is of poor quality and is not suitable for productive work. In this case, it is better to buy a modern pumping unit from a trusted manufacturer, which will work reliably for a long period.
Diesel or gasoline pump is widely used in the following situations:
- spillage of oil products and the need to pump them out;
- emergency situations in which there is a need to pump viscous liquids using special equipment;
- performing basic work on overpasses, industrial waste systems, and oil depots;
- the need to pump fuel from special tanks.
Fuel pumps differ in their design and performance. In the company's catalog you will certainly find a suitable model.
Types of pumps for pumping fuel
There are two types of fuel pumps:
- submersible - work while immersed in the pumped liquid, below its level;
- surface – located on the surface of the pumped liquid or away from it.
- pumps for pumping gasoline - most often, equipment of this type is designed to work not only with gasoline, but also with other liquids; a list of them is given in the technical specifications;
- pumps for pumping diesel fuel – used for viscous liquids such as diesel fuel, kerosene, heating oil, emulsions, antifreeze, mineral and synthetic oils. Most electric models designed to pump diesel fuel cannot be used with volatile flammable liquids such as gasoline, flammable alcohols, and solvents. When working with them, a fire may occur, which will lead to equipment failure. Pumping water with a pump can cause corrosion of elements and damage to the product. Acid destroys equipment parts.
Models of manually driven pumps are activated manually (by rotating the handle, pressing the lever - depending on the design features of the model). Mechanical action creates the necessary pressure for fluid movement through the hose.
Electric pumps do not require any effort to pump fuel. Equipment powered by mains power or a car battery has higher performance than manual equipment. The pressure in the pump is created by an electric motor.
Fuel pumps are used to pump various liquids. The design of the equipment determines the list of liquids with which it is compatible:
The optimal solution for household use is a submersible self-priming centrifugal pump. Compact and economical, it provides a fairly high fuel transfer speed and a sufficient lifting height.
Device design
A manual pump for pumping fuel consists of a system of levers, exhaust and inlet valves, a liquid container and pipelines. Mechanical units are equipped with a pressure hose connecting the hose to the pump. The kit also includes a mounting adapter and a telescopic tube (select models only).
The most common type of manual fuel pump is a piston pump. The principle of its operation is quite simple. The operator lifts the piston and thereby allows fuel to leak into the reservoir. Then he lowers the lever, pressure is created and the liquid is pushed out through the outlet.
Even after prolonged work, the operator will still not be overly tired. The fact is that manual fuel devices are designed in such a way as to obtain maximum results with a minimum of effort.
Typically mechanical units are made of stainless steel. The hand pump housing is resistant to fire and explosion. Therefore, it is possible to pump not only fuel, but also alcohols, solvents and even acids.
