Please follow these safety steps when using this pump with flammable liquids:
Maximize Open-Air Ventilation
-Ā Never use it inside a closed garage: Petrol vapors are heavier than air. They will sink to the floor and pool in corners, creating an invisible, highly explosive blanket.
Always pump outdoors: Set up your drum and vehicle or fuel tank on a driveway or open yard where breezes will instantly disperse any escaping fumes.
Guard Against the Battery Terminals
-Ā Isolate the 12V clips: If you use the 12V alligator clip option instead of AA batteries, connect the clips to your power source before turning the pump on or placing it in the fuel.
-Ā Avoid sparks near the drum: Connecting or disconnecting live 12V clips creates a small electrical spark. Make sure your 12V battery source is kept several meters away from the open drum and the pump nozzle.
Manage Static Electricity
-Ā Bond the containers: Plastic fuel cells and plastic drums can build up static charge as fluid flows. If possible, ensure the drum and the receiving tank are sitting on the ground (not on a plastic truck bed liner) to help dissipate static.
-Ā Keep nozzle contact: Keep the metal or plastic tip of the nozzle firmly touching the filler neck of the receiving tank while pumping to prevent a static discharge gap.
Know Your Fuel Type Risks
-Ā Diesel is low risk: Diesel has a high flashpoint (>55Ā°C) and does not easily ignite from a stray spark at room temperature.
-Ā Petrol/E85 is high risk: Petrol has a flashpoint well below freezing (-43Ā°C). It is constantly giving off highly flammable vapors at normal Australian outdoor temperatures, meaning even a tiny spark from the internal DC motor brushes of an unrated pump could trigger an ignition if vapors find their way inside the motor casing
