Video Transcript for Review of TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump - Electric Fuel Transfer Pump 55 Gallon Drum IBC Tote - TE84VR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at this TeraPump Electric Fuel Transfer Pump for 55-gallon drums and IBC totes. This electric pump is going to let you transfer fuel from a 55-gallon drum or IBC totes to your tractor, truck, and other equipment. So it's gonna be perfect for your garage, your shop, to have on hand for your yard equipment, and even to use on the farm and even at the dock. Now this pump is going to work with liquids such as diesel, DEF AdBlue, non-potable water, kerosene, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, mild detergents, agricultural chemicals, and light oils. This is not compatible, however, with gasoline, drinking water or concentrated acids. The drum buttress adapter, let me turn this around here a little bit so you can see that just a little bit better, is going to be easy to grip.

As you can see, making it simple to tighten up or loosen. And the adapter is going to fit various drum bungholes so I think you're gonna have quite a bit of flexibility here to make sure you have a nice, secure and solid fit on your 55-gallon drum. And let me zoom out here just a little bit to take a look at this telescopic intake tube as you can see right here. Now this is going to work with 55-gallon drums and IBC totes up to 275 gallons. And let me carefully flip this over here to show you that this does have a stainless steel end cap filter that's going to keep debris out of your motor and going to help prevent damage.

Now as I mentioned, this is telescopic. So right now with the intake tube collapsed, we are sitting right at 33 1/2 inches long. And then to expand this, you just turn our nut here to loosen it. And as you can see, this is going to be very easy to extend and that is going to be able to extend all the way up to 49 inches long. So you have a range once again of 33 1/2 inches to about 49 inches in length with this fully extended, and the diameter is sitting right at about two inches, so two inches in diameter.

Now zooming back in again, our nozzle handle with a swivel nut here is going to provide 360 degrees of rotation. So that's going to help prevent this hose from tangling. And this rubber discharge hose, it consists of four layers and it's oil, flame, and cold resistant. The high-grade polyester construction is flexible, so this feels like a very durable, rugged hose. And this built-in holster is going to store your discharge nozzle safely.

There's a little metal clip there, hopefully you can see that. And so when you put the nozzle in, you just kind of drop it down and it's going to hold that in place. So it's not going to easily slide out of the holster here. The overall length of our discharge hose is sitting right at a little over 79 inches long and the flow rate is up to 7.1 gallons per minute. Now this does have, as I mentioned, this is an electrical pump. So this does have an electrical plug that is going to insert to your 110-volt AC wall outlet. And then, that is going to plug right here into the back of your pump. So again, that's going to be a very easy operation and the power switch here has a LED light right there. So that LED light is going to confirm when this unit is on or off. So then you're just going to, when you're ready to use it, flip on the power switch, and then squeeze the nozzle handle here to control the rate of flow. And then when you're done, just release the handle and turn the switch off. It's a good idea, after you're done transferring whatever liquid you're gonna be transferring, to kinda hold the nozzle up a little bit to let the residue drain back through the pump, back into your container before you secure it in the holster. Now the pump head dimensions, we're sitting right at about 7 1/8 inches tall. Then the overall width, we're sitting right at about 4 1/8 inches wide. And instructions are included to walk over the features that we covered together today in a little bit greater detail. And then just some instructions to make sure that you are operating this the way that this pump was designed. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you.
