Product Information

Full details

This Allstar Performance Drum Pump is designed for users of VP Racing fuel jugs and similar containers, offering a convenient way to transfer fuel with its manual pumping action. Its primary benefit is providing a hands-free, controlled fuel dispensing method. A potential caveat is the need to manually cut the shaft to match specific jug heights for optimal performance. Key features include a secure screw-on cap, manual pressurization for flow, and a pressure release valve to stop dispensing.

FAQs

What is the primary use for this drum pump?

This drum pump is designed for the convenient and controlled transfer of fuels, particularly from VP Racing fuel jugs and similar containers.

Do I need to cut the pump shaft?

Yes, the pump shaft is designed to be cut to match the specific depth of your fuel jug for optimal performance and to prevent scraping the bottom.

How do I stop the fuel flow?

The pump features a pressure release valve. Releasing this valve will stop the fuel flow.

What types of liquids can this pump handle?

It is designed for fuels like those from VP Racing. While it may handle other similar utility fluids, it is not recommended for highly viscous liquids or corrosive chemicals.

How do I ensure a secure fit?

The pump has a screw-on cap that is designed to fit VP Racing fuel jugs and others with the same diameter. Ensure it is screwed on tightly.

What maintenance is required?

After use, it's recommended to purge the pump with clean water or a suitable solvent. Store it in a clean, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Pump is not dispensing fuel.

Ensure the shaft is submerged sufficiently in the fluid. Check that the pressure release valve is closed. Verify the pump is securely attached to the jug.

Fuel flow is weak or intermittent.

Increase the speed of the up-and-down pumping motion. Ensure the shaft has been cut to an appropriate length to draw fluid effectively. Check for any obstructions in the intake or outlet.

Pump is difficult to attach to the jug.

Ensure you are using a compatible jug with the correct thread pattern. Clean the threads on both the pump and the jug opening. Do not force the attachment; check for alignment.

Pump leaks around the cap.

Tighten the pump cap securely. Inspect the seal on the cap for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the jug opening is clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine Jug Height: Measure the depth of the fuel jug you intend to use.
  2. Cut the Shaft: Using a suitable cutting tool (e.g., hacksaw), carefully cut the pump's shaft to a length that allows it to reach near the bottom of your jug without scraping the bottom.
  3. Attach the Pump: Screw the pump assembly securely onto the opening of your VP Racing fuel jug or compatible container.

Compatibility:

This pump is specifically designed for VP Racing fuel jugs and other containers featuring the same screw-on cap diameter. Always verify the compatibility of your container's opening before use.

Care:

  • After each use, it is recommended to purge the pump with a small amount of clean water or appropriate solvent to clear any residual fuel or contaminants.
  • Store the pump in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Periodically check the pump's moving parts for wear and tear.
