Fill-Rite's parent company, Gorman-Rupp, manufactures a full line of pumps specifically designed for pumping clean, non-abrasive petroleum products in critical applications at bulk plants, tank farms, barges, tank cars and fuel trucks.
Gorman-Rupp pumps can safely and efficiently handle hundreds of petroleum-based products, including:
GasolineBiodieselEthanolAircraft FuelsPetrochemicalsFuel Oil
The Fill-Rite Company is proud to offer both the O Series® and Shield-A-Spark products for these applications.
O Series® pumps were originally designed for handling petroleum products. Later, O Series® pumps were introduced into the industrial market for effective handling of solvents and similar liquids, as well as excellent clean-liquids handling.
The straight-in-suction design (without a check valve eliminated entrance restrictions) provides quick, reliable self-priming with few moving parts, offering savings through minimal maintenance and increased efficiency. The O Series® has a variety of seal configurations to choose from, allowing it to handle several different liquids.
The safest way to handle a hazardous pumping operation is to use a pump that is designed for the job. That’s why Shield-A-Spark pumps by Gorman-Rupp feature a spark- and splash-shielded engine, muffler and fuel cap. The gasoline engine unit features a dependable, rugged military or aircraft type spark plug which is radio-suppressed and prevents spark gap jumping. A shielded ignition wire provides an enclosed path for high tension spark. The sealed toggle ignition switch is safe and spark-free, and the spark-arresting muffler is designed to retard both sparks and flames.
