Sealey TP95 User manual

Petrol is a highly flammable liquid and any spillage will evaporate to form a flammable, heavier than air vapour which is easily ignited.
Common ignition sources include, but are not limited to, smoking and light matches, welding and cutting equipment, heaters, all types of
electrical equipment unless specifically designed as suitable for use in flammable atmosphere. Even low voltage inspection lamps, if
damaged can ignite petrol vapour

4. OPERATION
CD
TP95 - 2 - 200307
The TP95 is only to be used for pumping fuel from diesel or petrol fed vehicles. Any other use can be dangerous and will invalidate
the warranty. Bring the unit near the vehicle when ready to begin transferring fuel. Pumping can be carried out in different ways depending
on the vehicle’s configuration.
Before beginning the draining process, ensure you have read and understood the safety warnings and guidelines listed in Section 1
of these instructions.
4.1.Carburettor engine vehicles. Fuel can be transferred from carburettor engine vehicles through the carburettor’s fuel inlet pipe.
If this is necessary, use one of the three ‘fishbone’ connectors supplied. Each has a different diameter.
4.1.1. Attach the correct size connector and washer to the suction hose (‘E’ on illustration next page).
4.1.2. Disconnect the fuel inlet hose and attach it to the suction hose connector.
4.2. Fuel injected vehicles. Fuel can be transferred from fuel-injected vehicles through the injector’s fuel inlet pipe.
4.2.1. Choose a connecter with the required diameter and attach it to the suction hose (‘F’ on illustration next page).
4.2.2. Disconnect the vehicle’s fuel inlet pipe coming from the tank.
4.2.3. Use the two gaskets from the ring removed from the car to obtain a better seal and attach the connector to the air inlet pipe.
4.3. Connect the earth bonding strap.
Ensure strap is tightly connected to unit table as described in chapter 3. First clamp one end of the strap to the vehicle grounding
point away from any potential fuel vapour, and the other end of the strap to a suitable earthing point. Ensure the fuel container is
also connected to the earth strap, if neccesary scrape away a small amount of paint from the container to improve the earth
connection.
4.4. Transferring fuel directly from the tank.
4.4.1. Access to the tank may be gained from the boot through a porthole, closed by a guard or a safety device, if the vehicle is fitted with
an antitheft device at the fuel tank inlet. Remove the guard, carburettor float and the relevant cap and insert
the suction hose into the hole without any union. This will allow quicker transfer of fuel than the previous two methods.
4.4.2. In older vehicles, the suction tube can be inserted directly into the fuel tank through the fuel tank inlet.
4.5. Start the pump suction by opening the air inlet valve. The air pressure should be set to 3-4 bar. Higher pressures provide no
benefit and may impair or damage the pump. Do not completely open the valve or run the pump at its maximum speed. When
using connections as recommended in 3.1 and 3.2, transfer time may take about 15 minutes. When transferring directly through the
suction tube, transfer time is about 3-4 minutes.
4.6. Turn the pump off by closing the air inlet after all the fuel has been transferred.
The pump will cavitate when fuel transfer is complete. Be sure to turn it off as soon as possible as prolonged cavitation may damage
the pump.
4.7 Unless the fuel is to be returned to the vehicle immediately, it should be stored in a designated lockable, well-ventilated area,
preferably outside the workshop.
4.8 Any contaminated petrol or petrol/diesel mixtures should be consigned to waste, giving a clear description of the nature of the
material.

5.1. Maintenance, service and repair should only be carried out by qualified persons.
5.2. Clean the pump silencer at least once a month to remove oil residue. Remove it from the pump housing and place it in a detergent
solution for 2 hours. Dry it with compressed air and place it back in the pump housing.
5.3. Check the condition of the transfer hoses. Make sure that they are intact and undamaged, without cracks, holes or leaks. If they are
damaged or they leak, replace them.
5.4. Check the condition of the teflon gaskets and the ‘fishbone’ connections. Be sure that they are undamaged and can maintain a
perfect seal. Replace them with original spare parts if they are damaged or not working correctly.
5.5. Periodically check the earth strap terminals for tightness and that the wire and clamps are in good order.
