Diesel Fuel Pumps

FAQs

What does a fuel pump do?

A TTi fuel transfer pump moves diesel fuel from a storage or transport tank into machinery, such as tractors, excavators, or other heavy equipment. It provides the necessary flow and pressure for efficient refuelling on-site.

What are the signs your fuel pump is failing?

Some indicators that your fuel pump may be due for replacement include:

  • Reduced flow rate or slow refuelling.
  • Inconsistent fuel delivery or pressure.
  • Unusual noises coming from the pump during operation.
  • Leaks or visible damage to the pump or hoses.
Can I continue to use my machinery if my fuel transfer pump isn't working correctly?

It’s not recommended. An inefficient or damaged transfer pump can lead to slow or incomplete refuelling, potentially causing delays or damage to your machinery. If you’re looking for a reliable portable fuel pump to help you refuel your equipment on-site, we have a range of options designed for heavy-duty applications.

What is the advantage of a 12v diesel transfer pump?

A 12v fuel transfer pump setup is ideal for mobile refuelling. These pumps connect directly to a vehicle battery, making them suitable for service vehicles, trailers, and portable tanks. A 12v diesel transfer pump high flow model can also deliver faster refuelling where higher fuel demand is required, helping operators keep machinery running without delays.

How do I choose the right diesel pump for my tank?

Start by considering flow rate, power supply, and how the pump will be used. A compact 12v fuel pump may suit smaller portable tanks, while higher-demand operations benefit from larger diesel transfer pumps with greater flow capacity.

If you are unsure which fuel transfer pump fits your setup, TTi can help match the right pump to your tank, equipment, and site conditions.

Are TTi fuel transfer pumps suitable for portable tanks?

Yes. Many of our 12v transfer pumps are designed specifically for portable fuel tanks and mobile refuelling systems. They are compact, durable, and built to handle demanding work environments.
