TaskStar Diesel Transfer Pump Kit 12V 13 GPM — Portable Self-Priming Kit with 160W Motor & Adjustable Nozzle

The TaskStar 12V Diesel Transfer Pump Kit is a portable, self-priming electric fuel transfer system that moves diesel, kerosene, and light oils up to 13 gallons per minute for fast refueling on farms, boats, trucks, and job sites.

Designed to speed up routine fueling and emergency refills, this complete kit includes a 160W copper motor pump, adjustable fuel nozzle, two hoses, battery clamps and mounting base so you can connect to a vehicle 12V battery and start pumping immediately. The unit pulls from drums or tanks and can draw from nearly 10 feet away while lifting fuel over 26 feet high. Compact and built for outdoor use, it’s a practical tool when power outlets aren’t available.

How quickly will this pump transfer fuel?

The TaskStar pump delivers up to 13 gallons per minute, fast enough to empty a standard 55-gallon drum in under seven minutes under ideal conditions. Actual throughput depends on hose length, elevation, and fuel viscosity, but the high flow rate makes bulk transfers much faster than manual siphoning.

• Maximum flow: 13 GPM (gallons per minute)
• 55-gallon drum can be emptied in ~7 minutes
• Flow affected by hose path, height, and fuel type

Can it handle remote or elevated fueling locations?

Yes — the unit’s 160W copper motor supports suction from up to 9.8 feet and can pump fuel up to about 26.2 feet vertically, so it manages refueling for elevated tanks or hard-to-reach fill points. It is self-priming for convenience when set up correctly.

• Suction lift: up to 9.8 ft
• Discharge head: up to 26.2 ft
• Self-priming design for easier starts

Which fluids are safe to pump with this kit?

The TaskStar transfer pump is intended for diesel, kerosene, machine oil, and transformer oil — common light petroleum and lubricants. It is not rated for gasoline, alcohol, LPG, or water; follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid damage and safety hazards.

• Compatible: diesel, kerosene, machine oil, transformer oil
• Do not use with gasoline, alcohol, LPG, or water
• Built-in mesh filter reduces particles entering the pump

What accessories and safety controls are included?

The kit is sold complete with a 4 ft and a 6.6 ft fuel hose, a 9.8 ft battery clamp lead, an adjustable fuel nozzle and a mounting base with pre-drilled holes. The adjustable nozzle supports manual or continuous flow, and a mesh inlet screen helps protect the pump from debris.

• Included hoses: 4 ft and 6.6 ft (0.9" diameter)
• 9.8 ft battery clip lead for 12V vehicle batteries
• Adjustable fuel nozzle for controlled or continuous pumping
• Mounting base with pre-drilled holes for secure installs

Who is this for? Farmers, landscapers, boat owners, fleet operators, construction crews and emergency responders who need a fast, portable way to transfer diesel or light oils without relying on mains power will find this pump especially useful. It’s suited to refilling tractors, generators, boats and tanks where speed and mobility matter. Be mindful of the listed fluid restrictions and the recommended maximum continuous run time of 30 minutes to protect the motor and ensure safe operation.
