Expert Answers about Fuel Transfer Pump


  • Is There a Longer Hose for the TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump for Gas Cans
  • The TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump for Gas Cans part # TE54VR comes with a 39" long hose per TeraPump. There is not a longer hose for this as it could affect fuel flow so the easiest option would be to just move the gas can closer to the tank. That said, there is another version of this pump with longer hose, the TeraPump Fuel Transfer Pump for Gas Cans and Racing Utility Jugs part # TE87VR which has one that measures 51".

  • How To Wire 3-Wire Fuel Transfer Pump To Vehicle 7-way Connector
  • Since your transfer pump has 3 wires that means it has a static ground. The green wire will get grounded to the body/frame, the white wire will need to be connected to the ground on the 7-way connector, and the black wire will get connected to the 12v power pin on the 7-way connector. You can do this by using the 7-way connector # A7WCB, 10 gauge wire (sold by the foot) # 10-2-1, and heat shrink butt connectors # DW05745-5. You will connect the black wire to the 1 o'clock pin on the back...

  • Ford Super Duty Trailer Connector Wont Power On In-Bed Fuel Transfer Pump
  • I do have an option for you but it's probably not what you'd had hoped for. The issue you'll run into trying to use the trailer connector as a power source for your transfer tank pump is that the battery charge line circuit within the trailer connector that you want to use for power is only active while moving on most newer Ford trucks. This is by design and has been coined the "Ford Smart Tow". Therefore, you won't be able to utilize this with the transfer pump in the way you want. If...

  • What is the Wire Size for the 12 Volt Circuit on a 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • For vehicles with 7-Way trailer connectors the 12 volt circuit is usually 12 to 10 gauge but I cannot say for sure what it is on a 2001 Chevy Silverado. Aftermarket 7-Ways generally use 12 gauge. What is the amperage draw of the pump? The factory tow package wiring 12 volt circuit uses stud 1 under the hood at the power distribution box. You can check it to see what the fuse associated with that stud is rated for to make sure the factory wiring has the capacity to handle the pump's power...

  • Quick Disconnect Wiring Recommendation For Trailer-Mounted Pump Behind 2012 Ford F-150
  • When you use the power wire on the harness at the rear of your 2012 Ford F-150, you may have some issues with it blowing fuses when you turn the diesel fuel vault pump on. Many times a pump or other accessories will have a power surge and that is too much for the harness designed for a trailer connection. It is not recommended to use the harness, but we may have a solution for you that will work. I recommend the Trailer And Vehicle Wiring Kit, part # BDW20207. This kit has the vehicle...

  • Wiring 12V Pump to Tow Vehicle 7-Way Connector
  • Assuming that your fuel pump does not draw more power than what the 12V circuit on your 7-Way can handle (typically around 40 amps maximum) then you can indeed connect it directly to the 7-Way in the manner you described. Using the cut 2 pole flat wiring # HM47965 connectors between the wiring is not necessary in terms of function but it will allow you to easily disconnect the pump when it's not in use.

  • Can Auxiliary Diesel Tank Fuel Pump Be Powered By Vehicles 7-Way Connector?
  • The 12v power circuit in a 7-way connector is typically 40amps, so assuming your fuel pump does not exceed that you can definitely wire it to work in the 7-way connector on your vehicle. You would need 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long # H20044 and heat shrink butt connectors # DW05745-5. The Black wire of the # H20044 is the power wire and would be connected to the red power wire from the pump, and the white wire of the # H20044 is the ground that you would connect the main...

  • Is There a Way to Run an Electric Diesel Pump From the 7-Way on a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD
  • You can wire your pump to the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK12706. You will need to connect to the positive terminal and the ground. You would then plug the pump directly into your 7-way. You will want to check what amp fuse your 12v lead for your 7-way has. It is typically between 20-40 amps. As long as your pump does not pull more amps than the 12v line is fused for, you will be good to go. If you pump does pull more amps, I would just get a battery for...

  • What Pump Can Be Used to Fill an RV Fresh Water Tank
  • Most RV fresh water tanks have to be gravity or hand pump fed and cannot be filled using an electric pump. That is because they are designed as a low pressure application. You can either take the hose straight to the water inlet or you can use a hand pump like the Valterra Antifreeze Hand Pump with City Water Connection Hose for RV Winterizing # P23507VP. While this pump is meant for winterizing your RV, it could be used for water to transfer water from a container to your fresh water tank.

  • Transfer Tank /Tool Box Options with Soft Tonneau Cover
  • The TruXedo TonneauMate Truck Bed Toolbox Crossover Style # TX1117416 is perfect for any truck owner with a tonneau cover. The toolbox fits under tonneau cover, mounts at the front, back or middle of the bed, and is elevated for full access to the truck bed floor. The dimensions are 55.38" long x 22.25" wide x 14.75" deep. I was unable to find a transfer tank tool box combo under 18 inches tall. All the combos that fit your 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty are taller than what you want.

  • Diode Recommendation for Preventing Backfeeding with Two Power Sources to One Electric Motor
  • The Roadmaster Diode part # RM-790 would be exactly what you'd need. It allows two power sources on the input side and only one on the other side which means that one power source couldn't backfeed onto the other. This isn't overkill at all and would be an ideal solution.

  • How Much Clearance is Needed to Fit B and W Companion Hitch in Truck Bed with Fuel Tank
  • From the center of the shank to each end of the base (forward and back) of the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500 is 18 inches. This means that if you only have 9.5 inches of clearance from your shank to the tool box you would not have enough clearance. The tank would have to be removed to install the Companion as-is. How wide is your tank currently? Maybe you'd consider going with a tank that is narrower which would allow the hitch to fit.

  • What is Difference Between DeeZee Auxiliary and Transfer Tanks # DZ91753 and DZ91753X
  • The difference is the application of each tank. The # DZ91753 is a transfer tank which means it's not designed to tie into the fuel tank of the vehicle it is installed in whereas the # DZ91753X is an auxiliary tank which means it was designed to be basically be an extra tank for your truck to use.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Hitch For 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 With Truck Bed Toolbox
  • You can put a sliding fifth wheel hitch in your 1997 Dodge 2500 and that would give you additional clearance behind the cab. The concern I have is the clearance above the bed rails with your tool box and fuel pump. I have attached a drawing that shows how much clearance is needed above the bed rails when towing. You will need 5 to 6 inches clearance above the bed. I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550034. This hitch automatically slides rearward 14-inches when you are...
