CARLKEMIAN 55 Gallon Drum Pump — Hand Barrel Pump for Gasoline & Diesel (Black) with Aluminum Pipe, 8 GPM

CARLKEMIAN's 55 gallon drum pump is a heavy-duty hand-operated barrel pump built to transfer gasoline, diesel, engine oil, kerosene and other light-to-medium oils from drums quickly and reliably.

This aluminum and composite-plastic drum pump is engineered for routine fluid transfer from 5 to 55 gallon drums. Its reinforced aluminum pipe, composite-steel rotor, and large-capacity crank deliver steady suction and up to approximately 8 gallons per minute in normal use. The design focuses on durability, compatibility with a range of fuel and lubricants, and straightforward maintenance for workshops, farms, and fleet service bays.

How fast and efficient is this hand drum pump?

The CARLKEMIAN hand pump is designed for efficient manual transfer, with the rotor and pump core tuned to move oil quickly while minimizing binding. Users can expect rapid output under normal conditions, making it suitable for repeated drum-to-container transfers.

• Typical flow rate: up to about 8 gallons per minute with clockwise rotation.
• Large suction force for faster emptying versus basic siphon pumps.
• Composite-plastic-steel rotor resists sticking and spins smoothly.

What fluids can I safely pump with this barrel pump?

This pump handles a broad range of petroleum-based liquids such as engine oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, diesel, kerosene and gasoline. It is not intended for water, strong chemical solvents, or food-grade edible oil applications that require sanitary certification.

• Compatible: gasoline, diesel, engine and lubricating oils, kerosene, fuel blends.
• Not recommended: water, caustic or highly reactive chemical solvents.
• Not for edible/food service use despite handling some edible oils.

What are the build quality and key materials used?

The pump combines a thickened aluminum alloy pipe with a composite-plastic-steel pump core for a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. Cosmetic and protective finishes include a high-quality baking paint coating over the pump core housing to resist wear in workshop environments.

• Aluminum alloy pipe resists deformation and stays rigid under load.
• Composite-plastic-steel rotor prevents seizing and keeps rotation smooth.
• Durable painted housing and a sturdy metal crank handle for long life.

How long is the suction tube and which drum sizes will it fit?

The pump ships with three outlet pipe segments, each about 13.4 inches long that assemble into a roughly 40.2-inch tube. This length covers common drum depths so you can reach liquids in small to full-size drums without modification.

• Total assembled length: approximately 40.2 inches from inlet to outlet.
• Compatible with drums from 5 gallons up through 55 gallons.
• Modular pipe segments let you shorten or lengthen to suit container depth.

Who this pump is for: technicians, mechanics, farmers, fleet managers and DIYers who need a dependable, manual method to transfer petroleum-based fluids from drums. If you require a pump for routine fuel, oil or lubricant handling where electricity or compressed air is unavailable, this CARLKEMIAN hand drum pump offers a robust, easy-to-service option. Avoid using it for water or aggressive solvents, and consider regular light lubrication of the pump core after storage to keep the crank free-moving.
