Before You Begin

Fueling Requirements
The Fill-Rite FR1200, FR2400, FR4200, FR4400, FR600 as well as SD1200 and SD600 models are designed  and approved for use with the following flammable and combustible fluids: gasoline and gasoline blends up to 15% or E15, diesel, biodiesel blends up to 20% or B20, kerosene, and mineral spirits.
Please take all necessary precautions when handling flammable liquids.

Power Source Requirements
Depending on the Fill-Rite model, supply line power will either be 12V DC, 24V DC, or 115V AC. The pump motor nameplate located next to the switch lever will provide detailed electrical information. Please refer to the appropriate electrical instructions found starting on Page 7 (DC power) or Page 10 (AC power).

Items that may be needed for installation:
Steel pipe wrench 14-24″, open end wrench or socket (7/16″, 11mm), T-25 Torx driver, utility knife, angle grinder or hacksaw (optional), wire cutters, wire stripper/crimper, and thread sealant (optional).

NOTE: Fill-Rite provides Teflon® tape for all models as listed on Page 16.

Safety Information

To ensure a safe installation and proper equipment operation, please read, understand, and adhere to all DANGER/WARNING/CAUTION and other NOTICES.

Never smoke around or near a fuel tank or transfer pump. Open flames or a spark when pumping a flammable liquid will result in a fire. Improper electrical wiring or installation will result in serious injury or death.

Electrical wiring should ONLY be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with all local, state, and national electrical codes (NEC/ANSI/NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, and NFPA 70) as appropriate for the intended use of a Fill-Rite fuel transfer pump.
Threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used where applicable and as defined by these codes.
This product must be properly bonded or grounded to avoid the build up of static electricity when handling flammable products. Static discharge may ignite vapors causing serious injury or death.
Fill-Rite pumps are not suited for use with water or fluids intended for human consumption. Do not use to fuel aircrafts.
To minimize static electricity build up, keep the nozzle in contact with the container being filled at all times during the filling process. Use only static wire conductive hose when pumping flammable liquid. Improper mechanical installation or use can result in serious injury or death.

Threaded pipe joints and connections must be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to prevent leaks.
All Fill-Rite pump models are equipped with thermal overload protection by which the motor will shut off to prevent heat damage. If motor is turned off by a thermal overload, turn the switch lever to the OFF position. Once the motor has cooled sufficiently, turn the switch lever to the ON position to resume fuel transfer.
Some Fill-Rite models will restart automatically if the switch lever is not in the OFF position once the thermal protector resets. As good practice, always place the switch lever in the OFF position when the motor overheats.

A filter should be used on the pump outlet to avoid contamination into the vehicle or equipment’s fuel tank. We recommend Fill-Rite filters for best results.
To prevent fuel storage tanks from shifting or tipping, refer to tank manufacturer’s guidelines on proper anchoring.

Installation

Your Fill-Rite pump is designed to be mounted on a fuel tank via a threaded inlet flange supplied with the pump. Typical installations are shown in Diagram 1 and 2. Your pump features an integral bypass valve to recirculate the fluid when the pump is operating with the nozzle closed.

Do not use additional check valves or foot valves unless they have a proper pressure relief valve built into them.
Please be aware that additional check valves will reduce flow rates.
A pressure-retaining fill cap can be used to reduce fuel loss through evaporation.
Threaded pipe joints and connections must be sealed with the appropriate sealant to prevent leaks.
Use caution to prevent cross-threading during installation which can cause damage to either or both the inlet flange as well as storage tank bung.

In all tank applications, be sure the tank is properly secured per tank manufacturer’s guidelines.

Stationary Tank

For stationary fuel tanks, the pump mounts to the tank bung by way of the pump inlet flange. Given the different sizes of stationary fuel tanks, a custom suction or inlet pipe may be necessary. We recommend 1” NPT black iron pipe that is extended to a length of at least 1-2” from the bottom of the tank, with the bottom of the pipe cut to an angle between 30-45 degrees for improved flow.

A stationary tank must be equipped with a vent cap. (Diagram 1)

Mobile Tank

For mobile fuel tanks, the pump mounts to the tank bung by way
of the pump inlet flange.

For Telescoping Steel Suction Pipe
Allow telescoping tube to extend fully to the bottom of the tank.

For Custom or PVC Suction Pipe
To avoid penetrating the tank, we recommend leaving a minimum of 1-2” of the pipe off the bottom of tank. We further recommend cutting the suction pipe to a 30-45 degree angle for improved flow.

The mobile tank must be equipped with a vent cap. (Diagram 2)

Installation Procedure

Step 1: (Optional) Inlet Flange Removal Loosen (4) 1/4″ bolts using 7/16″ wrench or socket. Detach inlet bung from pump, retain bolts, screen, and gasket.

Step 2: Using either included suction pipe or custom pipe, thread pipe into inlet bung 1.5 to 2.5 turns past hand tight with pipe wrench. Use appropriate sealant for fuel transfer.

Wiring Instructions

FR1200 / FR2400 / FR4200 / FR4400 / SD1200 Series DC Transfer Pump

Electrical wiring should be performed ONLY by a licensed electrician in compliance with local, state, and national electrical codes (NEC/ANSI/NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, and NFPA 70) as appropriate to the intended use of the pump. Threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used where applicable. The pump must be properly grounded.
Improper installation or use of this pump can result in serious personal injury or death.
Do not connect the positive or negative power to the green ground/earth screw or ground/earth wire as this could cause a fire.
Do not attempt to power the pump from vehicle wiring smaller than 12 AWG such as the cigarette lighter wire because these thin wires could overheat and cause a fire.
For wiring up to upfitter switches, please contact Fill-Rite Technical Support at 1 (800) 720-5192 (M-F, 8am 5pm ET).

Fill-Rite DC fuel pumps are designed to operate at the rated nameplate voltage. Series FR1200, FR4200, and SD1200 are rated for 12V DC while FR2400 and FR4400 are rated for 24V DC. Regardless of how supply line power is provided (i.e. via a battery or hard line), Fill-Rite requires the circuit contain a fuse to prevent against electrical shorts. For 12V
DC, a 30 amp fuse is necessary while for the 24V DC circuit, a 20 amp fuse.
Voltage drop in wiring varies depending on the distance from the battery to the pump and the gauge of the wire used.
If the distance is greater than the supplied 18′ 12 AWG power cable*, refer to local, state, and national electrical codes to ensure the wire is of the correct size for this application.

*12 AWG power cable not supplied with pump only models

Electrical bonding is the process of connecting metallic parts such as a fuel storage tank or transfer pump which may be exposed to electrical faults to a grounding conductor to ensure a low-resistance path to the ground. Bonding also provides a path for static electricity and induced voltages to drain out through the grounding path. The most common way to bond is with a copper wire.
If the intention is to operate either a 12V or 24V DC fuel transfer pump from a power supply other than a vehicle battery system, please contact Fill-Rite Technical Support at 1 (800) 720-5192 (M-F, 8am-5pm ET).

Instructions Before Proceeding with DC Wiring

The pump needs to be electrically bonded to a vehicle frame for mobile tanks or a ground rod for stationary tanks. To electrically bond pump for mobile application, remove the external factory installed green bonding screw located on the junction box cover (Diagram 3). Insert this screw through eyelet of furnished green bonding wire assembly and refasten it securely to the junction box. The other end of the wire is to be stripped of insulation and the bare wire securely bonded to the vehicle or on/off road trailer frame for mobile tanks (Diagram 4). For bonding with stationary tanks, attach a ground wire to a ground rod and the tank itself (Diagram 5). The distance may be greater than the supplied grounding wire.

Wiring Instructions

1. Remove pump’s electrical junction box cover and straighten the red and black wire.

2.  Screw the furnished cable connector into 1/2″ NPT conduit opening on the junction box.
   3. Strip 3″ of the outer covering from one end of the furnished electrical supply cable.* Be careful not to damage the black and red wire insulation.

3. Loosen cable connector nut and pass the stripped end of the furnished cable through the cable connector. Tighten the cable connector nut.

4. Strip 1/2″ of the insulation from the ends of the red and black cable wires. Using the furnished wire nuts, connect the cable wires to the pump wires matching the colors.
   IMPORTANT: Be sure no bare wire is exposed.

5. Fold wires into junction box and replace, making sure the cover gasket is in place. Make sure all screws are seated so there is no space between the frame and the junction box (see Step 6 diagram on Page 6). *12 AWG cable not supplied with pump only models

Mobile Tank Wiring to a Vehicle Electrical System

1. Before electrical installation, place the switch lever into the OFF position to prevent accidental spillage once power is engaged to the motor.
2. Pass the electrical wires to the source of the vehicle power system, supporting as necessary and protecting them from sharp edges, heat, or anything that could cause damage.
3. To determine if the vehicle electrical system is negative (-) or positive (+) ground, check the battery marking of the terminal that is wired to the vehicle frame or motor block. The red wire from the pump will connect to positive battery post and the black wire from the pump will connect to negative battery post. These instructions focus on COMMON negative ground systems. UNCOMMON positive systems are a rare occurrence. Reference the drawing on Page 9 for information on positive ground systems.
4. Fill-Rite requires installing a fuse holder and fuse (not provided) for protection of the purchased pump. Attach one end of the fuse holder to the end of the ungrounded wire, making a solid connection. The other end of the fuse holder is then attached to the ungrounded side of the battery, as close to the battery as possible. Make a solid electrical connection to the grounded side of the battery with the remaining wire. Utilizing a battery terminal connection (not provided by Fill-Rite) is required for completion of the electrical circuit.
5. Check all connections to make sure they are connected per instructions and all electrical codes. Install fuse (30 amp fuse for 12V DC; 20 amp fuse for 24V DC) into the fuse holder. Installation is now complete.

Before You Begin

Fueling Requirements
The Fill-Rite FR1200, FR2400, FR4200, FR4400, FR600 as well as SD1200 and SD600 models are designed  and approved for use with the following flammable and combustible fluids: gasoline and gasoline blends up to 15% or E15, diesel, biodiesel blends up to 20% or B20, kerosene, and mineral spirits.
Please take all necessary precautions when handling flammable liquids.

Power Source Requirements
Depending on the Fill-Rite model, supply line power will either be 12V DC, 24V DC, or 115V AC. The pump motor nameplate located next to the switch lever will provide detailed electrical information. Please refer to the appropriate electrical instructions found starting on Page 7 (DC power) or Page 10 (AC power).

Items that may be needed for installation:
Steel pipe wrench 14-24″, open end wrench or socket (7/16″, 11mm), T-25 Torx driver, utility knife, angle grinder or hacksaw (optional), wire cutters, wire stripper/crimper, and thread sealant (optional).

NOTE: Fill-Rite provides Teflon® tape for all models as listed on Page 16.

Safety Information

To ensure a safe installation and proper equipment operation, please read, understand, and adhere to all DANGER/WARNING/CAUTION and other NOTICES.

Never smoke around or near a fuel tank or transfer pump. Open flames or a spark when pumping a flammable liquid will result in a fire. Improper electrical wiring or installation will result in serious injury or death.

Electrical wiring should ONLY be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with all local, state, and national electrical codes (NEC/ANSI/NFPA 30, NFPA 30A, and NFPA 70) as appropriate for the intended use of a Fill-Rite fuel transfer pump.
Threaded rigid conduit, sealed fittings, and conductor seal should be used where applicable and as defined by these codes.
This product must be properly bonded or grounded to avoid the build up of static electricity when handling flammable products. Static discharge may ignite vapors causing serious injury or death.
Fill-Rite pumps are not suited for use with water or fluids intended for human consumption. Do not use to fuel aircrafts.
To minimize static electricity build up, keep the nozzle in contact with the container being filled at all times during the filling process. Use only static wire conductive hose when pumping flammable liquid. Improper mechanical installation or use can result in serious injury or death.

Threaded pipe joints and connections must be sealed with the appropriate sealant or sealant tape to prevent leaks.
All Fill-Rite pump models are equipped with thermal overload protection by which the motor will shut off to prevent heat damage. If motor is turned off by a thermal overload, turn the switch lever to the OFF position. Once the motor has cooled sufficiently, turn the switch lever to the ON position to resume fuel transfer.
Some Fill-Rite models will restart automatically if the switch lever is not in the OFF position once the thermal protector resets. As good practice, always place the switch lever in the OFF position when the motor overheats.

A filter should be used on the pump outlet to avoid contamination into the vehicle or equipment’s fuel tank. We recommend Fill-Rite filters for best results.
To prevent fuel storage tanks from shifting or tipping, refer to tank manufacturer’s guidelines on proper anchoring.

Installation

Your Fill-Rite pump is designed to be mounted on a fuel tank via a threaded inlet flange supplied with the pump. Typical installations are shown in Diagram 1 and 2. Your pump features an integral bypass valve to recirculate the fluid when the pump is operating with the nozzle closed.

Do not use additional check valves or foot valves unless they have a proper pressure relief valve built into them.
Please be aware that additional check valves will reduce flow rates.
A pressure-retaining fill cap can be used to reduce fuel loss through evaporation.
Threaded pipe joints and connections must be sealed with the appropriate sealant to prevent leaks.
Use caution to prevent cross-threading during installation which can cause damage to either or both the inlet flange as well as storage tank bung.

In all tank applications, be sure the tank is properly secured per tank manufacturer’s guidelines.

Stationary Tank

For stationary fuel tanks, the pump mounts to the tank bung by way of the pump inlet flange. Given the different sizes of stationary fuel tanks, a custom suction or inlet pipe may be necessary. We recommend 1” NPT black iron pipe that is extended to a length of at least 1-2” from the bottom of the tank, with the bottom of the pipe cut to an angle between 30-45 degrees for improved flow.

A stationary tank must be equipped with a vent cap. (Diagram 1)

Mobile Tank

For mobile fuel tanks, the pump mounts to the tank bung by way
of the pump inlet flange.

For Telescoping Steel Suction Pipe
Allow telescoping tube to extend fully to the bottom of the tank.

For Custom or PVC Suction Pipe
To avoid penetrating the tank, we recommend leaving a minimum of 1-2” of the pipe off the bottom of tank. We further recommend cutting the suction pipe to a 30-45 degree angle for improved flow.

The mobile tank must be equipped with a vent cap. (Diagram 2)

Installation Procedure

Step 1: (Optional) Inlet Flange Removal Loosen (4) 1/4″ bolts using 7/16″ wrench or socket. Detach inlet bung from pump, retain bolts, screen, and gasket.

Step 2: Using either included suction pipe or custom pipe, thread pipe into inlet bung 1.5 to 2.5 turns past hand tight with pipe wrench. Use appropriate sealant for fuel transfer.

Electrical bonding is the process of connecting metallic parts such as a fuel storage tank or transfer pump which may be exposed to electrical faults to a grounding conductor to ensure a low-resistance path to the ground. Bonding also provides a path for static electricity and induced voltages to drain out through the grounding path. The most common way to bond is with a copper wire.
If the intention is to operate either a 12V or 24V DC fuel transfer pump from a power supply other than a vehicle battery system, please contact Fill-Rite Technical Support at 1 (800) 720-5192 (M-F, 8am-5pm ET).

Instructions Before Proceeding with DC Wiring

The pump needs to be electrically bonded to a vehicle frame for mobile tanks or a ground rod for stationary tanks. To electrically bond pump for mobile application, remove the external factory installed green bonding screw located on the junction box cover (Diagram 3). Insert this screw through eyelet of furnished green bonding wire assembly and refasten it securely to the junction box. The other end of the wire is to be stripped of insulation and the bare wire securely bonded to the vehicle or on/off road trailer frame for mobile tanks (Diagram 4). For bonding with stationary tanks, attach a ground wire to a ground rod and the tank itself (Diagram 5). The distance may be greater than the supplied grounding wire.

Wiring Instructions

1. Remove pump’s electrical junction box cover and straighten the red and black wire.

2.  Screw the furnished cable connector into 1/2″ NPT conduit opening on the junction box.
   3. Strip 3″ of the outer covering from one end of the furnished electrical supply cable.* Be careful not to damage the black and red wire insulation.

3. Loosen cable connector nut and pass the stripped end of the furnished cable through the cable connector. Tighten the cable connector nut.

4. Strip 1/2″ of the insulation from the ends of the red and black cable wires. Using the furnished wire nuts, connect the cable wires to the pump wires matching the colors.
   IMPORTANT: Be sure no bare wire is exposed.

5. Fold wires into junction box and replace, making sure the cover gasket is in place. Make sure all screws are seated so there is no space between the frame and the junction box (see Step 6 diagram on Page 6). *12 AWG cable not supplied with pump only models

Mobile Tank Wiring to a Vehicle Electrical System

1. Before electrical installation, place the switch lever into the OFF position to prevent accidental spillage once power is engaged to the motor.
2. Pass the electrical wires to the source of the vehicle power system, supporting as necessary and protecting them from sharp edges, heat, or anything that could cause damage.
3. To determine if the vehicle electrical system is negative (-) or positive (+) ground, check the battery marking of the terminal that is wired to the vehicle frame or motor block. The red wire from the pump will connect to positive battery post and the black wire from the pump will connect to negative battery post. These instructions focus on COMMON negative ground systems. UNCOMMON positive systems are a rare occurrence. Reference the drawing on Page 9 for information on positive ground systems.
4. Fill-Rite requires installing a fuse holder and fuse (not provided) for protection of the purchased pump. Attach one end of the fuse holder to the end of the ungrounded wire, making a solid connection. The other end of the fuse holder is then attached to the ungrounded side of the battery, as close to the battery as possible. Make a solid electrical connection to the grounded side of the battery with the remaining wire. Utilizing a battery terminal connection (not provided by Fill-Rite) is required for completion of the electrical circuit.
5. Check all connections to make sure they are connected per instructions and all electrical codes. Install fuse (30 amp fuse for 12V DC; 20 amp fuse for 24V DC) into the fuse holder. Installation is now complete.
