Neuradical Fuel Transfer Pump — Battery-Powered 2.4 GPM Siphon Pump, Portable D/AA Operation

Neuradical's battery-powered fuel transfer pump is a compact electric siphon that moves gasoline, diesel, kerosene and water quickly when mains power isn't available.

Lightweight and designed for mobile use, this pump runs on standard D or AA batteries and uses an impeller-driven motor to deliver consistent flow from cans, jerrycans and buckets. Its compact footprint, 16-inch suction tube and flexible 35.4-inch hose make it practical for refueling small engines, topping off generators, or draining containers on the road or at the worksite.

How fast and far will this pump move fuel?

The Neuradical pump provides efficient transfer rates — roughly 2.2 to 2.4 gallons per minute depending on fluid and battery condition — and is sized for short-run container-to-tank jobs. It combines a 0.55-inch discharge tube with a long hose and an impeller to maintain steady suction.

• Flow: approximately 2.2–2.4 GPM under typical conditions
• Discharge tube: 0.55 inch diameter for consistent throughput
• Hose length: 35.4 inches (flexible reach for small tanks)
• Battery efficiency: can move over 1,000 gallons on a single battery set in ideal conditions

What power source does it need and how portable is it?

This unit is battery powered, accepting either two D-cell batteries or six AA batteries (not included), so it works where cords or outlets aren't available. The design is compact and easy to carry, making it suitable for fieldwork, camping, or roadside refueling.

• Battery options: 2× D cells or 6× AA cells (user-supplied)
• Portable: hand-friendly form factor for one-person operation
• Battery runtime: engineered for long runs; estimates exceed 1,000 gallons per battery set in favorable conditions
• No outlet required: ideal for remote or emergency use

What liquids and containers are supported, and what should I avoid?

The pump handles a wide range of non-corrosive liquids including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, light oil and water. The 16-inch suction tube is tailored to fit common 3–5 gallon gas cans, jerrycans and pails, but it is not rated for acidic, caustic or heavily contaminated fluids.

• Compatible liquids: gasoline, diesel, kerosene, light oils and water
• Container fit: 3–5 gallon gas cans, jerrycans and bucket-style containers
• Not for corrosive or heavily abrasive fluids
• Useful for refueling small equipment, generators, lawn mowers, boats and RVs

How simple is it to operate and maintain?

Operation is straightforward: place the suction tube into the source container, position the discharge hose into the receiving tank, insert batteries and switch on. Routine maintenance is limited to rinsing with clean water after use with non-fuel liquids, checking hose integrity, and replacing batteries as needed.

• Quick setup: insert suction tube and hose, add batteries, flip the switch
• Low maintenance: inspect hose, clean as appropriate, change batteries
• Safety: keep away from sparks, open flames and corrosive fluids
• Storage: dry, ventilated place when not in use

Who this is for: The Neuradical battery fuel transfer pump is intended for DIY mechanics, boat and RV owners, landscapers, small-fleet operators, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, portable solution for moving fuel or water where mains power isn't accessible. It’s best for short-distance transfers between cans and tanks and for users who prioritize portability and simple, battery-powered operation.
