CarBole 12D Micro Electric Diesel Fuel Pump Universal 5/16 inch Inlet and Outlet 12V 1-2 A, 35 GPH, 4-7 PSI

Added this Fuel pump to Transfer Diesel from a 20 gallon Fuel tank to the main fuel tank in the Motorhome.This was just to avoid Running the Fuel level critically low when the generator is running as generator will shut down at 1/4 tank. This has been tried a few times just to test and it has worked great each time.

Worked great for my transfer tank.

All of these pumps are known for not lasting a very long time. I only purchased this one as a cheap back up. It seems identical, less the brand name that shows elder-brock on the similar pump at o- o- o- reillys. I have no doubt there are more inferior parts but the weight feels almost the same. So it could possibly be the same pump but un-branded. I am only giving my opinion from a description of opening the box. And it should not sway you to purchase because the pump because like the cor,ona,vi,rus was made in China. I also hope as long as I have this back up pump I won't need it. 😆

Ok. I'm going to give a review and take in mind I've been a mechanic for over 34 yrs and an aircraft mechanic as well. I bought this pump as I recently purchased a boat which sat for 4 yrs, tank had bad fuel, most evaporated, well need say more? My better half put bout 30 gallons of gas in it so now I have an issue! I got it to pump the fuel out or at least add a fuel additive and circulate it around the tank. Here is the first problem, the screw on metal filter with the barbed nipple only threads in like 3 maybe 4 turns before it gets tight. So I hand tighted it and pressed it back in. Now I got 12ft New fuel line. I didn't insert the brand new 5/16 rubber fuel line when I had to pull it back off to insert the clamp and pop goes the 1/8 -27 NPT brass insert! Just like others have said! Now this brass insert is splined, has a small O ring and it's pressed into the plastic housing. Sooo, if it popped out so easy, I can imagine if I added teflon tape to the filter and cranked it down, it would probably spun the brass insert in the plastic pump housing. Not good. Now I ended up tapping it back in and used it with 2 in line filters to draw fuel out of the Boats tank via its supply line , thru 2 filters, and pump it back into tbe fuel tank for 3 hours each tank till it came out clean BUT I'll add, this pump will NOT draw fuel out if it's place just 2 feet above the fuel level in the tank unless you bring it down to let it prime and then raise it up. The flow, eh, it isn't that great. 3 hours each tank and a few filters later I got fuel running clean again so it did it's job but as a fuel pump on a vehicle, I'd be terrified that insert comes loose, starts a fire and the rest is history! Oh, the red lead wire on mine had exposed strands right where it entered the pump. Bout 1/8" insulation was missing and bare wire was showing, again, fuel, positive wire showing, brass insert defect equals possible disaster. If I had to do this again, I'd buy the all metal one here on Amazon. If you use it for how I used it, and got this one, I'd get it over with, pull the insert as soon as you get it, as it's clean and free of fuel, add some medium model airplane CA glue to the spline and wack it back in, insert the fuel filter with minimal Teflon tape it better yet thread sealant. Insert the line with clamp and NEVER EVER EXPECT TO PULL IT OFF, EVER!!! If the rubber hose has to come off, cut it off. In fact, toss the included filter and get a brass pipe threaded barb and install it as when you pull that filter and you eventually will, you guessed it that brass insert will pop!Just do yourself a favor, get the all metal one! Oh, I went to return it and missed my return deadline window by 2 days. Go figure!

Works as designed. Glad to see it was on Amazon and delivered to my house in just 2 days.

Quality

Does ok, not real complaints other then it doesnt have much head pressure. So the flow rate its really slow.

works but I haven't used it much. Time will tell but looking at the fuel filter it acts week.
