TuthillCorp,
I have a Fill Rite pump like Al's, on a 300 gal portable. Had it for years and cann't count how many times it has pumped out the 300 gal...
So what wears out on these? And when it is time, is there a 12V pump available with more flow?
Regards, Kirk
Hello Kirk,
Thanks using our product for your fuel transfer needs.
Typically, the rotor and vanes are the wear parts in the pump. Depending on how you operate the pump will depend on how long these parts will wear. We have tested the pump to over 150,000 gallons before the vanes needed to be replaced. If you run the pump in bypass (the motor is running and the nozzle is closed) a lot, the number of gallons will be decreased.
Yes, we do have 12 VDC pumps that will give you more flow. We have the standard FR1210C which pumps at 15 GPM with a 12' x 3/4" hose and manual nozzle. We have the FR4210D which will give you right at 20 GPM with a 12' x 1" hose and manual nozzle. We have just released the FR3210B which will give you right at 24 GPM with an 18' x 1" hose and our Ultra High Flow Automatic Nozzle. If you were to use a manual nozzle, the flow rate would be better than 25 GPM.
Thanks for your post, and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Best Regards,
Jeff
