Description
Product Overview
The SEAFLO 12V Self Priming Impeller Gear Pump is engineered for high‑performance fluid transfer in demanding environments. With a flow rate of 3.2 GPM (12 LPM) it efficiently moves diesel, oil, and lubricants through a robust copper impeller that resists wear and corrosion. The pump housing is cast from bronze, providing exceptional durability, while the internal gears are machined from hardened steel for long‑term reliability. A sealed motor housing incorporates thermal protection, preventing overheating during extended operation. The pump features NPT‑type inlet and outlet connections sized at 3/8″ (0.38 in) for easy integration with standard hoses and fittings. Its reversible flow design allows the user to switch between filling and draining modes without additional tools, enhancing versatility on the job site. The unit operates on a 12 V DC power source, drawing a maximum of 10 A, making it compatible with most automotive batteries and portable power supplies. A four‑year warranty underscores SEAFLO’s confidence in the product’s durability and performance.

Usage
This gear pump is ideal for a wide range of applications. In automotive service shops, technicians rely on its self‑priming capability to quickly change oil in cars, trucks, and tractors without manual priming. Marine mechanics use the pump to transfer diesel fuel and lubricants for outboard engines, benefiting from the reversible flow when draining tanks before refilling. Industrial users appreciate the pump’s ability to handle high‑viscosity fluids, making it suitable for machinery maintenance, hydraulic system flushing, and coolant circulation. The clamp‑mount design enables secure attachment to a variety of containers, while the universal fit ensures compatibility with most vehicle and equipment models. Whether operating in a workshop, on a boat dock, or in a factory floor, the pump delivers consistent performance, reducing downtime and improving productivity.

FAQ
What types of fluids can this pump handle?
The pump is designed for diesel fuel, engine oil, lubricants, and other high‑viscosity liquids commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.
How do I reverse the flow direction?
Simply rotate the pump head 180 degrees; the internal gear orientation changes, allowing fluid to flow in the opposite direction without disconnecting hoses.
Is the pump compatible with standard 12 V batteries?
Yes, the pump operates on a 12 V DC power source and draws up to 10 A, making it compatible with most vehicle batteries and portable power packs.
Can the pump be used in marine environments?
Absolutely. The sealed motor and corrosion‑resistant copper impeller make it suitable for marine diesel and oil transfer tasks.
What maintenance is required?
Periodically inspect the inlet and outlet connections for wear, clean the impeller if debris accumulates, and verify that the motor housing remains sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
