Features to know about

Transfer Fuel When There's No Power

Some tanks sit where you don't have AC power, and dragging cords or setting up a powered pump is not always an option. This is a hand-operated piston fuel transfer pump built for low volume transfers where access to power is not available. The power source is your own brute strength, so the setup stays simple. You keep moving fuel when the tank is off-grid.

Move More Fuel per Stroke

Manual transfers can take forever when each stroke only moves a small amount. This pump uses a double piston hand lever that delivers 20 gallons/75 liters for every 100 strokes, so output is tied directly to your stroke count. It gives you a repeatable reference point without relying on a powered meter. You hit your stroke count and move the volume you were aiming for.

Set the Pickup Length for Your Tank

A suction pipe that's too short leaves fuel behind, and one that bottoms out can be a headache to place. This pump uses a telescoping steel suction pipe that extends from 20 inches to 34-1/2 inches, so you can set the pickup length to match the container you're working with. Once it's adjusted, it sits at the depth you set instead of forcing a cut-to-fit workaround. You pull fuel from the height you need and keep the transfer consistent.

Stay Comfortable in Hot or Cold Weather

Working a manual pump bare-handed gets miserable when the handle is baking hot in the sun or freezing in the cold. This pump has a wood handle, and the wood ensures the handle temperature stays comfortable no matter the temperature outside. It keeps the contact point more manageable in extreme conditions. You keep a steady grip and keep pumping without the handle becoming the problem.

Reduce Spills and Secure the Pump

Manual transfers get messy when the nozzle has nowhere to go, and unattended pumps can walk off in a shared work area. This pump has a nozzle storage seat and anti-siphon technology to prevent accidental spillage, and the handle is padlock compatible to help secure and protect your investment. Cast aluminum construction ensures durability and lifetime corrosion resistance when the pump lives in a shop or outdoor storage area. You finish a transfer, park the nozzle, and lock the handle when the job is done.

  • Can Fill-Rite Fuel Transfer Pump Manual Options Sit Outside Year Round?
    Larry, for occasional use like that, a manual pump is actually a great fit. Both the Fill-Rite Rotary Pump # FR98XQ and the Manual Piston Pump # FR53XQ are built with cast aluminum bodies, so they’re designed to hold up in shop or outdoor storage conditions. Since they don’t rely on motors or wiring, there’s less to worry about if they sit unused for stretches, and you don't have to worry about waterproofing any electrical connections or wires since there aren't any!

  • How To Pump Or Drain Fuel From 30 Gallon Diesel Drum With No Electricity Or Power
    Hello Doug, for a no-power setup like that, I’d look at one of the manual pumps from Fill-Rite. The Fill-Rite Rotary Pump # FR98XQ is a simple hand-crank design that moves 10 gallons per 100 rotations and even has reversible flow, so you can fill or drain with the same pump. If you’d rather move fuel faster per cycle, the Manual Piston Pump # FR53XQ delivers 20 gallons per 100 strokes, which cuts your pumping time down. One other thing to note is that the piston pump style sits lower,...

  • Does The Fill-Rite Manual Fluid Transfer Pump Require Lots Of Effort To Pump Fluid?
    Good afternoon George; no it usually does not! The Fill-Rite Piston Fluid Pump # FR53XQ uses a hand lever with a double piston design and moves 20 gallons per 100 strokes, which means fewer cycles to move the same fuel compared to the rotary crank version # FR98XQ. It’s fully manual, but the higher output per stroke helps reduce how long you’re pumping. The wooden handle also stays comfortable in hot or cold weather. If you prefer a cranking motion instead of a lever stroke, the rotary...

  • Difference Between Fill-Rite Manual Fluid Transfer Pumps - Rotary Hand Crank VS Hand Pump
    Great question, Melissa. The Fill-Rite Rotary Fluid Transfer Pump # FR98XQ moves 10 gallons per 100 crank rotations and features reversible flow, so you can fill or drain with the same pump. The Piston Pump # FR53XQ uses a hand lever and moves 20 gallons per 100 strokes, so it transfers fuel faster per cycle but doesn't have reverse function for draining. Both mount to a standard 2" bung, include an 8 foot hose with static ground wire, and have adjustable suction tubes 20" - 34-1/2"....

  • Comparing Fill-Rite Fuel Transfer Pumps - Manual Pump VS Electric Pump
    Hey there Sam, for smaller transfers like 10 gallons at a time, the manual pumps would be perfectly adequate. The Fill-Rite rotary style fuel transfer pump # FR98XQ gives you controlled output at 10 gallons per 100 rotations, and the hand pump style # FR53XQ doubles that per cycle at 20 per 100 pumps. Electric models like the # FR35XQ 20 GPM and # FR75XQ 15 GPM are ideal when you’re fueling often or filling larger tanks and want to save time and effort. If it’s occasional use and no power...

    Hi Harold, with a 55-gallon drum in the shop, you’ve got a few good options depending on whether you have power available. If you want to keep it simple and fully manual, the Fill-Rite Manual Piston Pump Kit # FR53XQ is a solid choice.

  • Fill Rite Hand-Operated Piston Fuel Transfer Pump is leaking Fuel From Top Head Square Plug
    Hey James, Sorry you are dealing with that. If fuel is leaking from the top square head plug on your Fill-Rite hand pump, the most common causes are a loose plug or a worn seal underneath it. With the pump fully drained and off the tank, you can try carefully snugging the plug down to make sure it is seated properly. Just do not overtighten it. If it is still leaking, the O ring or gasket under that plug is likely worn or swollen and will need to be replaced. Fill-Rite offers seal kits...
