Jabsco 50 litre Diesel Refuelling Pump & Fuel Transfer

Boat owners looking to buy a marine pump have the choice of manual pumps, electric pumps and engine drive pumps. The decision will depend on the substance that is actually being pumped, which will determine the product’s material, and how much of that liquid is being moved, which will determine the required gallons per minute rating.

If you plan on pumping fuel, it is important to select the right pump and internal material, as fuel has the ability to dissolve many products and surfaces. Most pump impellers and internal components are made from neoprene, which is entirely suitable for most liquids except petroleum products. Fuel pumps must contain Nitrile components, such as a diaphragm or valves, which are resistant to deterioration from gasoline and diesel.

In addition, fuel transfer pumps are designed to be explosion proof with sealed electrical motors and pressure switches, because of the combustible fluid that they pump. Most fuel transfer pumps are vane pumps with some offering reversible operation.

Jabsco VR050 – 50 litre Diesel Fuel Transfer Pumps are superior fuel pumps with a long service life and high ratings. The VR050 Series can perform fuel transfer for any duration without overheating. This rugged cast iron fuel pump with bronze vanes features a flow rate of 13 gallons per minute and self-priming up to 9.6 feet.
