G8 Portable Fuel Transfer Pump
Owner's Manual
GENERAL INFORMATION
This pump is designed
for use only with gasoline
(up to 15% alcohol blends
such as E15), diesel fuel
(up to 20% biodiesel
blends such as B20) and
kerosene. Do not use
this pump for dispensing
any fluids other than
those for which it was
designed. To do so may damage
pump components and will void the
warranty.
This pump is designed to operate
on a typical 12-volt DC automotive
electrical system. The pump is
designed to operate with 12-volts DC
at the motor leads and the ratings
are determined at this voltage.
Performance may vary due to length
of power cord, battery condition or
output from vehicle charging system
that will affect system voltage.
NOTE: This pump is not intended for
use with an automatic nozzle.
WARNING: This product shall not be
used for pumping fuel or other liquids
into aircraft.
NOTE: An automatic bypass valve
prevents pressure build up when the
pump is on with the nozzle closed. To
avoid motor damage, do not run the
pump more than 5 minutes with the
nozzle closed.

The rated duty cycle of this pump
is 15 minutes ON and 30 minutes
OFF. Allow the pump to cool for 30
minutes.
Do not leave the system running
without fluids. "Dry running" can
damage the pump. If the system fails
to deliver fuel after 15 to 20 seconds,
turn the system off and refer to the
Troubleshooting Section.
Do not pump the tank completely
dry, as contaminants from the bottom
of the tank may enter the pump.
