Fuel Pump Guidance

Which Fuel Pump Does My Tank Need?

When optimizing your diesel fuel system's performance, selecting the appropriate fuel pump size is as crucial as choosing a quality fuel tank. For small tanks designed for personal or lower-demand use, a smaller capacity fuel pump with moderate flow rates and precise control is ideal to prevent spills and wastage. Conversely, high-flow-rate pumps are essential for quickly filling large tanks, allowing for continuous use without delays. Heavy-duty pumps built for higher pressures and larger volumes are recommended in high-demand environments, like agricultural or construction applications. Ultimately, understanding your specific requirements—whether for small or large setups—is key to choosing the right pump.

Hand Pump

Hand pumps are great for personal use, small farms, or workshops that don't need to pump large amounts of fuel every day. While powered pumps work best in high-volume and urgent situations, hand pumps are reliable, affordable, and versatile for many uses. We provide hand pumps for 100Gal., 200Gal., and 300Gal. diesel fuel tanks.

13GPM Pump

A 13 GPM fuel pump sits in the sweet spot, offering a balance between moderate speed and versatility, making it a popular choice for many applications. The 13 GPM fuel pump is perfectly suited for intermediate tank sizes, typically ranging from 50 to 300Gal.. These tanks are frequently used by small-to-mid-sized farms, workshops, or businesses with moderate fuel usage needs. A 13GPM pump is compatible with the DT 100, DTL 100, and DT 200 diesel fuel tanks.

15GPM Pump

A 15GPM pump is an ideal pump for the DT 300, as well as tanks ranging in size from 150 to 500Gal.. With a 15 GPM pump there is a balance between efficiency and control, allowing for quicker fuel transfers in larger tanks while still being appropriate for slightly smaller operations.

20GPM Pump

A 20 GPM pump is designed for large diesel tanks and fueling operations. Tank sizes typically range from 300 to 1,000Gal., particularly for those that frequently refuel large equipment such as tractors, trucks, and heavy machinery. A 20GPM will get the job done for your DT 500 diesel tank or your DT 475 diesel fuel trailer.

25GPM Pump

A 25 GPM pump is designed for high flow rates and is ideal for very large tanks or bulk fueling operations, working best with tank sizes of 500Gal. and larger and meets high-demand refueling needs. If you need something with more speed and power, the 25GPM is a great option for any of the diesel fuel trailers such as the D.O.T. 990.
