SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING! Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in compliance with local, state, and national electrical code NEC/ANSI/ NFPA 70, NFPA 30, and NFPA 30A, as appropriate to the intended use of the pump. Threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used where applicable.
WARNING! This product shall not be used to transfer fluids into any type of aircraft. WARNING! This product is not suited for use with fluids intended for human consumption or fluids containing water. INSTALLATION 20GMP fuel transfer pump is designed to be mounted on a skid tank using the threaded inlet flange supplied with the pump.

Typical Skid Tank Installation The pump mounts to the bung of a skid tank by way of the inlet flange. The suction tube threads into the bottom of the inlet flange, and must extend to a length that positions it at least 3” from the bottom of the tank. The skid tank should be equipped with a vent cap.
Installation Procedure: Thread the 1” pipe into the tank adapter. Seal threads liquid tight with appropriate sealant. (Figure 1) Typical Skid Tank Installation (cont’d) Screw the inlet flange (with suction pipe) into the tank bung; seal threads liquid tight with appropriate thread sealant (Figure 2). - 6 -...
Mount the pump on the adapter; making sure the seal and screen are installed as shown. (Figure 3). ELECTRICAL WIRING CAUTION! DC powered pumps are designed to operate on either 12 or 24 VDC (depending on model). Where applicable, use the supplied battery cable to supply power to the pump from a 12 or 24 VDC battery.
CAUTION! Voltage drop in wiring varies depending on the distance from the battery to the pump and the gauge of the wire used. If the distance is greater than 20’, refer to national, international, or local electrical codes to ensure the wire is of the correct size for this application.

electrical cable being careful not to damage the black and red wire insulation. Loosen cable connector nut and pass the stripped end of the furnished cable through the cable connector. Tighten the cable connector nut. Strip 1⁄2 inch of the insulation from the ends of the red and black cable wires.

WARNING! Do not attempt to power the pump from vehicle wiring smaller than 12 gage such as the cigarette lighter wire because these thin wires could overheat and cause a fire. DC Wiring (cont’d) For Skid Mounted Tanks Pass the electrical wires to the power source, supporting the wires as necessary and protecting them from sharp edges, heat and anything that could damage the wires.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Always keep the nozzle in contact with the container being filled during the filling process to minimize the possibility of static electricity build up. 1.If so equipped, reset meter to “0” (do not reset while in use as this will cause damage to the meter).
Page 14
6.Move switch lever to the “OFF” position (Figure 2) to turn off the pump. 7.Remove the dispensing nozzle from the container being filled and store it in the nozzle boot. Padlocking Your pump nozzle can be padlocked to the pump for added security. With the pump turned off, and the nozzle in the stored position, a padlock can be inserted through the locking link and the nozzle handle.
TROUBLESHOOTING The following troubleshooting guide is provided to offer basic diagnostic assistance in the event you encounter abnormal service from your 20GMP fuel transfer product. WARNING! DO NOT open or attempt to repair the motor on your pump. Return it to the place of purchase for service. Opening the motor case can compromise the integrity of the Explosion Proof construction and will void any existing warranty and certification.
