Efficient fuel transfer is the cornerstone for the smooth operation of automotive maintenance, ship replenishment, and industrial equipment maintenance. The EX-60 gasoline transfer pump is a compact explosion-proof 12V DC pump specifically designed for the safe transfer of gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other compatible fuels, providing professional users with a more precise and leak-free alternative to manual siphoning.

Unique features of EX-60

The EX-60 adopts a self-priming positive displacement vane pump structure, integrating a low-voltage DC motor and cast iron pump body, designed for potential explosive environments. Its features include: an integrated bypass valve to prevent pressure overload caused by pipe blockage, an EMC anti-noise filter to significantly reduce operating noise, and an automatic thermal overload protection device that automatically shuts down when the temperature exceeds the safety limit.

Core performance advantages:

Explosion-proof certification: Certified by ATEX/IECEx for safe operation in Zone 1 hazardous areas.

Wide fluid compatibility: In addition to standard gasoline and diesel, it can handle aviation fuel and ethanol-blended gasoline. The flange components can be quickly installed or replaced without sealants, achieving leak-free connections.

Self-priming with debris protection: An integrated metal suction filter can filter particles, protecting internal components, with a self-priming capacity of up to 8 feet, capable of extracting fuel from low-level fuel tanks.

Safe operation and maintenance

Installation: Follow the manufacturer’s wiring and piping diagrams strictly. All hose connections must be sealed and firmly clamped. Select power lines and connectors based on the on-site risk assessment.

Environment: Always operate in a well-ventilated area, away from open flames, sparks, and ignition sources.

Power supply: Use a stable 12V/24V DC power supply, such as a vehicle battery or dedicated DC power supply device. Voltage fluctuations may damage the motor.

Maintenance: Disconnect the power supply after each use. Clean the fuel lines to remove residues. Regularly check if the fluororubber seals and suction filters are worn or clogged. If the thermal protection is triggered, wait at least 60 minutes for cooling before restarting.

Selection suggestions

Before purchasing, confirm the compatibility of the fluid with the pump’s contact material.

Mobile/vehicle installation: Choose 12V. Fixed industrial installation: Choose 24V.

For precise metering, you can pair the pump with K24 or K33 flowmeters to achieve precise refueling.

Confirm local regulatory requirements: ATEX/IECEx versions are suitable for European and international projects. For North American compliance, select UL-certified models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can EX-60 transfer biodiesel or lubricating oil?

A: The standard EX-60 is suitable for gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and aviation fuel. It is not recommended for high-viscosity lubricating oil or B20 or higher bio-diesel blends. Special fluid compatibility should be consulted with the manufacturer.

Q: What should I do if the pump overheats and stops?

A: This is a normal operation of the thermal overload protection. Immediately disconnect the power supply and wait at least 60 minutes for the pump to cool down completely. Frequent triggering may indicate pipe blockage or unstable voltage supply.

Q: Can EX-60 run continuously?

A: No. The pump is designed for intermittent operation, with the longest continuous operation time of 30 minutes, followed by a 60-minute cooling period. For continuous operation, consider using a rated pump of the continuous operation type.

With ATEX/IECEx explosion-proof certification, 60L/min flow rate, and compact portable design, the EX-60 gasoline transfer pump is a trusted choice for professionals in automotive, shipping, industrial, and aviation fields. Correct selection and compliance with safety regulations ensure efficient, reliable, and hazard-free fuel transfer every time.
