Description
Product Overview
The YaeMarine 12V 3.2GPM gear pump is engineered for demanding fuel transfer tasks where reliability and durability are paramount. Constructed with a solid bronze body, the pump resists corrosion and wear even when handling abrasive diesel, marine lubricants, and other high‑viscosity liquids. The stainless steel shaft adds strength and reduces the risk of deformation under load, while the soft rubber mounts absorb vibration, extending the service life of both pump and host equipment. With a self‑priming capability, the pump can draw fluid from a lower level without manual bleeding, simplifying installation and reducing downtime. The pump delivers a maximum flow of 12 LPM (3.2 GPM) at 12 V, making it suitable for a range of portable and fixed‑mount applications. It features a 3/8″ FNPT (9.52 mm) threaded outlet for quick connection to hoses or manifolds, and the compact dimensions (7.52 × 5.20 × 4.21 in) allow it to fit into tight spaces on boats, RVs, tractors, and industrial machinery. The product meets CE certification standards, confirming compliance with European safety and performance requirements.
Usage
Designed for intermittent operation with a 30‑minute duty cycle, this pump excels in environments where fuel must be moved periodically rather than continuously. Marine owners use it to transfer diesel from storage tanks to engine compartments, ensuring a clean and efficient fuel supply for outboard and inboard engines. Recreational vehicle enthusiasts appreciate the pump’s ability to shift fuel between auxiliary tanks and primary tanks, providing flexibility for long trips and off‑grid adventures. In agricultural settings, the pump can be employed to move diesel or lubricating oil to generators, irrigation pumps, and other equipment that require reliable power. Automotive workshops benefit from the pump’s capacity to circulate oil for engine flushing or to supply fuel to diagnostic rigs. The flush‑mount design enables installation directly onto a tank or reservoir, while the rubber mounts prevent resonant vibration that could damage sensitive components. Because the pump is electric‑driven, it integrates seamlessly with standard 12 V power sources found on most boats, RVs, and vehicles.

FAQ
Can this pump be used with gasoline?
No. The pump is designed for diesel, lubricants, and other viscous fuels but is not compatible with gasoline due to material compatibility and safety considerations.
What is the recommended duty cycle for the pump?
The pump is intended for intermittent use with a maximum continuous run time of 30 minutes followed by a cooling period to prevent overheating.
Is the pump compatible with standard 12 V boat batteries?
Yes, the pump operates on a 12 V DC power source, making it directly compatible with most marine and RV battery systems.
How do I install the pump on a fuel tank?
Mount the pump flush against the tank wall using the provided rubber mounts, connect the 3/8″ FNPT outlet to your fuel line, and secure the electrical connections according to the installation guide.
What maintenance is required?
Periodically inspect the rubber mounts for wear, check the outlet fittings for leaks, and clean the pump housing to remove any residue that could affect performance.
