Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • This pump is designed to work with drums ranging from 5 to 55 gallons, so it can be used with both smaller DEF containers and standard full-size 55-gallon drums without needing a different tool.

  • DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) is a urea-based solution that can corrode metals and degrade certain materials over time. Polypropylene and Teflon are chemically resistant to DEF, which prevents fluid contamination and ensures the pump holds up with repeated use.

  • A rotary pump is operated by turning a hand crank, which creates suction to draw DEF up through the downtube and out through the delivery hose — no electricity or batteries required, making it well-suited for field use or locations without a power source.

  • In most cases, yes — the 9.8-foot hose provides enough reach to transfer DEF from a drum positioned on the ground into the DEF fill port of trucks or equipment parked nearby, without needing to tip or lift the drum.

  • The 3/4" spout is a common standard size that fits most DEF fill ports on diesel vehicles and equipment. The included manual nozzle gives you direct control over flow rate, helping reduce spills during transfer.

  • This pump is specifically designed for DEF and should be kept dedicated to that fluid. Using it for other chemicals could contaminate your DEF supply — even trace amounts of other substances can degrade DEF quality and potentially damage diesel aftertreatment systems.
