The range of Mobile Fuel Retrievers is designed to facilitate the draining of vehicle fuel tanks in accordance with the Health & Safety at Work Act as laid down by the factory inspectorate for the safe transfer of fuel.

These units allow one person to empty vehicle fuel tanks, (or other types of container), of all their contents without the fuel ever being exposed to the atmosphere. Leaded or unleaded petrol, and diesel, can be removed and replaced quickly, easily - and above all, safely.

All models consist of a high output reversible rotary pump (model LP32R) with a 2.5 metre suction /delivery hose mounted on a robust, highly manoeuvrable steel tank with wheels and castors.

All incorporate the features listed below.

Features: Finished in safety red - safety warning labels - lockable shut-off valve - anti-flash protection in hose & pump - non-spark wheels & castors - castor with brake - earthing leads - vapour transfer tube - contents sightgauge - 80 mesh strainers at pump inlet & outlet.

operating procedure

  • Place unit as close as possible to the vehicle being drained
  • Attach one of the crocodile clips to the vehicle and the other to a convenient earth
  • Ensure the shut-off valve on top of the pump is openInsert the pump hose into the vehicle filler neck as far as possibleRotate the pump quickly in an anti-clockwise direction until you see the fluid fill the hose, then turn at normal speed until all the fluid from the vehicle has been drained into the container
  • When draining is complete: i) remove hose carefully from the vehicle
    ii) tilt the end of the hose upwards and rotate the pump handle several times to empty remaining fuel from the hose
    iii) place the hose on its retainer
    iv) remove the crocodile clips
    v) close the shut-off valve
  • Move the unit to a safe storage area until required again
  • When refilling the vehicle, repeat the above procedure but rotate the pump handle in the opposite direction (clockwise)
  • When the unit is not in use: ensure the shut-off valve is put into the correct position.Unauthorised emptying of the container is prevented by inserting a padlock through the valve lever and the chain attached to the pump
