CAUTION! A pressure retaining fill cap can be used to reduce fuel loss through
evaporation, but note that it will reduce the flow rate.
CAUTION! Threaded pipe joints and connections must be sealed with the
appropriate sealant or sealant tape to prevent the possibility of leaks.
WARNING! Fill-Rite pumps are designed for use with stationary and mobile
tank applications. While DC powered units are excellent choice for mobile
applications, anchoring the tank to which the pump is mounted is paramount to
ensure no movement in transit. Failure to secure the tank to the vehicle can
cause uncontrolled movement, resulting in damage, injury, and potential fire.
Typical Skid Tank Installation
The pump mounts to the bung of a skid tank by way of the inlet flange. The suction tube
threads into the bottom of the inlet flange, and must extend to a length that positions it at
least 3" from the bottom of the tank. The skid tank should be equipped with a vent cap.
