Speed made good,

"When I purschased this pump, I was pumping 180 gals of diesel fuel from tanks on the back of my truck to my fishing vessel. This was tiresome job and lenghty. Now I can finish the job in about 18 minutes and just watch the lines and relax. I really enjoy this pump, Thanks for a great product"

By oilbaron
from Holly Hill, FL
"This pump will put out 18 GPM if needed or there is a bypass built into the pump so that flow can be restricted without any damage to the pump. It works like a champ and I strongly recommend this pump."

"This pump works fast and self primes nicely. Don't try to pump hot liquids though, it will shut down until it cools. Other than that it is a great working pump."

Tuthill Diesel Fuel Transfer Pump,
November 18, 2008
By zx175plus
from Manchester, NH
"I use this pump for transfering jet fuel and it works well beyond what I expected. I haven't actually timed the GPM, but it seems to be right on the mark, if not slightly faster than the advertized 18 GPM. It is well worth the cost I paid."

"The pump is a little louder then most but it does get the job done. I use it to mix and pump mixedfuel for my diesel. I actually bought 2 because I like it so much. A must by for pumping alternative fuels."

18 GPM Really???,
April 13, 2008
By Haverigwilldig
from ohio
"I have purchased a kit. It has a Tuthill diesel pump as part of it. I have been filtering my fuel and have not been able to get anywhere near 18 gallons per minute. Maybe with out any filter it could pump into open air at 18 gallons per minute. Pumping thru a couple filters it only pumps about 18 gallons every ten minutes. Works ok over ten minutes time but is very noisy."

Excellent fuel transfer pump.,

By Hotlink04
from Freeport, TX
"I have used one of these pumps for all kinds of fuel related projects on a large sportfishing boat. I like it so much that I bought another to install in the engine room to use as a full time transfer pump. These pumps move a lot of fuel for the money."
