Sealey EC97 Emergency Fuel Transfer Pump
The Sealey EC97 Emergency Fuel Transfer Pump is a highly reliable, self‑priming syphon pump designed to transfer low viscosity fluids such as petrol, diesel, water and other liquids quickly and efficiently. Its compact construction and robust build make it an essential tool for emergency fuel recovery, spill cleanup, and routine maintenance in automotive, marine, industrial and residential settings.
Key Features
- Self‑Priming Design: The EC97 automatically draws fluid from the source without the need for external priming. This feature ensures instant operation even when the pump is positioned above the fluid level.
- High Flow Rate: Capable of delivering up to 1.5 L/min (or higher depending on head height), the pump can quickly empty tanks, containers or reservoirs, reducing downtime and labor costs.
- Versatile Hose Length: Equipped with a generous 1.7 m (5.6 ft) hose, the EC97 offers flexibility for reaching distant sources or directing fluid to specific discharge points without additional adapters.
- Durable Construction: The pump body is made from high‑strength ABS plastic and features a stainless steel impeller that resists corrosion, abrasion, and chemical attack. This durability allows repeated use in harsh environments.
- Low Power Consumption: Powered by a standard 12 V DC supply, the EC97 draws only 0.5 A, making it ideal for battery‑powered applications such as emergency roadside kits or off‑grid installations.
- Easy to Operate: A simple on/off switch and a clear indicator of operation allow users to start the pump with minimal training. The ergonomic handle provides comfortable grip during prolonged use.
- Wide Compatibility: Suitable for petrol, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, water, low‑viscosity oils, and many other fluids commonly encountered in automotive and industrial contexts.
Applications
The Sealey EC97 is engineered to meet a variety of demanding scenarios:
- Emergency Fuel Recovery: Quickly drain fuel from damaged or leaking tanks, preventing environmental contamination and facilitating safe disposal.
- Spill Cleanup: Efficiently remove oil spills in workshops, garages, or marine facilities, reducing cleanup time and mitigating fire hazards.
- Routine Maintenance: Transfer fluids during routine servicing of engines, generators, or hydraulic systems without the need for manual siphoning.
- Industrial Fluid Handling: Move low‑viscosity chemicals between storage vessels in laboratories, manufacturing plants, and research facilities.
- Marine Applications: Transfer fuel or water between tanks on boats and yachts, ensuring safe operation during long voyages or emergency situations.

Installation & Operation Guide
- Connect the Hose: Attach one end of the 1.7 m hose to the pump inlet and secure it with a clamp. Connect the other end to the desired discharge point.
- Position the Pump: Place the EC97 in a stable location, ensuring that the inlet is submerged or at least level with the fluid source. The self‑priming feature allows operation even if the pump sits above the fluid surface.
- Power On: Connect the 12 V DC supply to the pump terminals and flip the switch to “ON.” A brief LED indicator will confirm that the motor is running.
- Monitor Flow: Observe the hose for fluid movement. Adjust the position of the pump or hose if necessary to maintain optimal flow.
- Turn Off: When the transfer is complete, switch the pump off and disconnect the power supply before removing the hose.
Maintenance Tips
- After each use, rinse the hose with clean water to remove any residue that could clog the system.
- Inspect the impeller for wear or damage periodically; replace if necessary to maintain flow efficiency.
- Store the pump in a dry environment and keep it away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the ABS body.
