Electric Fuel Pump
FPM
FPM-12, FPM-12/HF, FPM-24, FPM-115, FPM-220
Congratulations on purchase of this World Class Electric Fuel Pump!
This is an Electric Fuel Pump. Pump uses 2 Sintered Powder
Metal gears for suction & is designed for use with Gasoline,
Diesel, E15 Fuel, Kerosene, Bio Diesel (B20) etc. In ideal
laboratory conditions, pump dispenses up to 15 GPM (57 LPM)
at the pump outlet. The actual discharge varies depending on
fuel being used, temperature, Hose Length, power supply etc.
Pump Comes in 4 Power Ratings
• 12V DC
• 24V DC
• 115V AC, 60 Hz.
• 220V AC, 50/ 60 Hz
Rating is marked on the pump motor.
Pump uses an Explosion Proof motor & the motor is UL ,
cUL, ATEX & IECEx listed.

Cable systems and accessories should be installed in positions that prevent them from being subject to mechanical damage, corrosion,
chemical attack, heat and other detrimental environmental conditions. Selection of the wiring system and cable type must consider
these influences and where exposure to such conditions are avoidable, protective measures such as minimizing the risk of mechanical
damage by the use of appropriate armoured cable types should be considered. Motor must be connected using a cable incorporating an
earthing or equipotential bonding conductor.
Filed wiring shall comply with requirement stated article 501 in National Electrical Code (NEC) for Class I, Division 1 Location.

4. Take the Bung Nut
& fasten it onto
the 2” opening
on the Drum/
Tank. Bung Nut
has a large 2”
thread & a small
1-1/2” thread. 2”
thread goes into
the drum/ tank,
whereas the 1-1/2” thread is for connecting bung to the pump
5. In case the Bung Nut does not fit onto your drum/ tank, use a
Drum Bung Converter. Note that bung supplied with the pump
has 2” Pipe threads
Ensure tank / drum being used is clean & free of welding slag.
Ensure the tank is vented to allow air into the tank as fuel is
being pumped out. Failure to provide a vent will cause priming
problems
1. Wrap around PTFE tape on the following male threaded joints.
This will ensure a leak-proof connection
• Male Threads on the Elbow
• Male Threads on the Fitting ends of the Hose
• Male threads between the 2 Suction Tube parts
• Male threads on the Suction tube end that fits into the
pump inlet
2. Assemble the
Nozzle Holder with
the pump. In order
to do so, open the
2 bolts on top of
the On / Off Switch.
Remove the bolts
& re-attach along
with the nozzle
holder
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
7. Lift the Pump from the
motor. Be careful as the
assembly is heavy. Insert
suction tube into the drum
through the 2” opening on
the drum. Use the Swivel
Nut mounted at the pump
inlet to fasten onto the
Bung Nut. Hand tighten
8. Take the Fuel being dispensed & pour it into the pump outlet,
until completely filled. This will ensure that the gear chamber
stays lubricated & makes it easier for the pump to prime
3. Now Fasten the
Elbow into the
pump outlet &
hand tighten. Once
you can no longer
hand tighten, take
a wrench & tighten
the elbow by
about ½ a turn.

Pump Inlet
9. Take the Hose
Assembly & connect
the threaded end
onto the Elbow at
the pump outlet.
Hose has a hex
nut at the threaded
end which can be
tightened to the
elbow using a wrench
6. Connect the two halves of the Suction Tube. Suction tube
is designed for use with tanks / drums which are 36” (914
10. Connect the other end of the Hose to the Fuel Control Nozzle
11. Connect Power cord to source of power & switch it ON
mm) deep & has a total
connected length of 34”
(865 mm). In case you
are installing the pump
on a tank that is deeper,
you would have to get a
standard 1” dia. tube with
1” NPT threads on one
end. Suction tubes longer
than 5’ (1.52 m) require a
foot valve (not provided)
at the bottom of the tube
to prevent loss of prime.
For shallower drums, cut
the suction tube to the
desired length. Ensure that
there is about 2” (50 mm)
gap between the bottom
of the tank/drum & inlet of
the suction tube allowing
for easy entry of fuel into
the tube. Now connect the
Suction Tube to the pump
inlet. Hand tighten

12. The pump is now
ready for use
All pump models using the supplied 34” (865mm) suction tube
should prime within 10 seconds after pump is turned on.
Pumps installed at a height upto 5’ (1.52 m) may have difficulty
in priming. Follow the procedure below to initiate priming. Pumps
installed at a suction height above 5’ (1.52m) may have difficulty
in holding prime. It is recommended that a foot valve with ball
check (not supplied with the pump) be added to the bottom of the
suction tube to maintain prime
PRIMING
1. Remove the Elbow from the pump outlet
2. Pour fuel being pumped into the pump outlet until completely
filled
3. Re-assemble the Elbow back into the pump outlet & turn the
pump on. Pump should get primed in less than 10 seconds
4. If pump still does not gain prime, check for any major leaks
in the system. If no leaks are found , then the pump is
mechanically defective & should be reported back to your
Distributor
4. In less than 10 seconds, the pump will be primed & fuel will
start dispensing from the Nozzle
5. Dispensing Action can be stopped by closing the Nozzle, with
the pump still ON. This however must not be done for more
than 5 minutes. DO NOT operate the pump for more than 30
minutes continuously in 1 hour
6. It is best practice to Switch Lever in the OFF position to stop
dispensing
7. The pump must never be run dry (no media in the drum) as
that can possibly cause irreparable damage to the motor
8. Once Dispensing is completed, switch off the Lever &
disconnect power supply to the pump
9. Store the Nozzle Back into the Nozzle Holder
WARNING
Do not use curb pump auto nozzle with this pump. Contact your
distributor for auto nozzles for use with electric fuel pumps
PUMP OPERATION
1. Remove Nozzle
from the Nozzle
Holder. The On\
Off switch can be
Switched ON only
once the nozzle is
removed from the
nozzle holder
2. Nozzle should be facing the container into which Fuel is to be
dispensed
Pump in ON Position
ON
OFF
3. Pump On/Off
Switch Lever is
located under the
nozzle holder. Move
switch lever ON &
simultaneously open
the Nozzle
1. Clean Inlet Strainer after every 50 hours of operation
2. Inlet strainer is easily accessible without having to dis-
assemble the pump. Strainer is installed just above the pump
inlet & can be accessed by removing the 4 bolts on the side of
the pump holding the Strainer cover
3. Remove & clean strainer
4. If strainer is excessively dirty, clean tank to protect pump and
the equipment being fuelled
5. After cleaning strainer, replace strainer & cover. Make sure
cover seal is in place
