Fill-Rite Fuel Transfer Tank Pump
Fill-Rite Fuel Transfer Tank Pumps: Built for the Demands of Real Work
When a transfer tank in your truck bed needs to deliver fuel reliably — at a job site, on the farm, or deep in the field — the pump mounted to that tank is the most critical link in the chain. Fill-Rite has spent more than 60 years engineering pumps specifically for this purpose, and their fuel transfer tank pumps have become the benchmark against which others are measured.
What separates Fill-Rite from the competition starts at the core technology. Fill-Rite's rotary vane pump design is engineered so that as the vanes wear over time, they self-correct and maintain the same tight clearances as when the pump was brand new — delivering consistent flow performance over the entire life of the pump, not just in the early months of use. This means less motor stress, fewer premature failures, and a pump that truly earns its keep over the long haul.
Purpose-Built for Transfer Tank Applications
Fill-Rite's lineup includes several series specifically suited for bung-mount installation on transfer tanks. The 1200 Series is one of their most popular choices for this application — a 12V DC, 15 GPM heavy-duty pump featuring cast-iron construction and a rotatable junction box that simplifies wiring even in tight truck-bed installations. The junction box rotates 180° to give installers the flexibility they need regardless of tank configuration.
For those who need a lighter-footprint option, the FR8 Series delivers 8 GPM from a compact, cast-iron body weighing under 13 pounds — dramatically reducing stress on bung welds compared to heavier pumps. Fill-Rite also offers the TankDefender™ accessory for H-Series pumps, a heavy-duty support bracket specifically designed to reduce stress and damage to bung welds and extend the service life of aluminum transfer tanks.
Across these models, every pump is designed to handle the fuels that working trucks actually carry: gasoline, diesel, kerosene, ethanol blends up to E15, and biodiesel blends up to B20. Thermally protected motors shut down automatically to prevent overheating, and built-in strainers filter particulates before they can reach downstream equipment.
The Fill-Rite Warranty Advantage
One of the strongest arguments for choosing Fill-Rite for a transfer tank installation is the Limited Lifetime Warranty that backs their pump lineup. For professionals who depend on their equipment day in and day out, this warranty reflects the genuine confidence Fill-Rite has in its own build quality — a confidence backed by decades of field performance across agriculture, construction, fleet, and off-road applications.
Fill-Rite pumps are proudly made in the USA and have been manufactured at their Fort Wayne, Indiana facility for over 60 years, earning the trust of farmers, contractors, and fleet operators who simply cannot afford downtime.
