eBay Oil Suction Pump

[@kknocks2378]

Pumps are rated in flow of volume, not pressure. Pressure is a measurement of restriction.

[@ssnider420]

Thank you 🙏. I’m using this pump for a aux transfer tank in my truck I wanted to pump it through a filter before it went to tank instead of gravity. It also goes through a two position valve so I can kidney loop the diesel.

[@flinch622]

Same thing as the AmarineMade version? Part number is the same: FP-12. I picked one up with the idea of setting up a prelube pump: just purge/fill oil galleys and move just a little through the pushrods after sitting a few days or more. What I got came with fittings to suit 12mm hose. The pump ends are threaded: appears to be parallel ISO threads, of 3/8" BSPP [19 tpi]. Fittings supplied are decent but minimal, in that you have 5 thread engagement, but there is room for 8 or 9 if you want more robust fitting install. I do wish there was just a little more area on pump body for positionable 90 degree fittings with an o-ring seal - that way suction and discharge can point the same direction to make install & maintenance a touch easier.. There's room for an o-ring [just] but shoulder area to keep it captured needs another 2mm or so all the way around for those type of fittings generally - the casting is minimal. Decent bang for the buck purchase, but BSP has to be explained to 98% of auto parts stores you meet: P has no taper, T has roughly half the included angle vs npt, and... zero chance its on any aisle now, or at any time since... ever. Nothing npt is interchangeable with this standard, not even 1/8" which has the same thread pitch but since taper is different... a mix & match on that size leaves something just under 2 thread engagement - no amount of teflon will save the day when pressure is applied. Theres a flaw in my pending install: Ive got to find out what the psi ceiling is that overloads the motor and spec a reief valve. Got a DC amp clamp somewhere... and thank you: nice test & review.

Been using one these to push and filter waste veg oil through two 10" common water house filters 20,10 micron and straight into my diesel fuel tank 1HZ Toyota engine. They work hard and go good, can reverse polarity to make then pump backwards. I know of ppl that have used them for years pumping 1000 ltr IBC veg oil. I thought they were no good to start off with as would start stop, start stop and not pump much through. As waste veg oil from fish chip shops often has particles and junk in it. I learned it had to have a Y trap mesh bout 80-120 micron pre-filter and that fixed everything it flowed like a gem for ages. I normally use it for 20Ltrs at a time. If filtering veg oil it is a good idea to put a DPDT reversible current switch on and clear hoses, when you see some creamy veg oil coming up the line can quickly stop the pump and reverse it to clear that junk out that you don't want. When you stated high PSI i wander if it could supply 80 degrees Celsius heated oil to a centrifuge needing 80-100 psi but i don't think it could keep up to it. But if anyone has tried this successfully please comment to let me know.

[@Capz0r]

Awesome, detailed analysis. Thank you for taking the time!

[@Ddaanniieelldaniel]

You just saved me a lot of time and uncertainty!! Just what I was looking for, extremey useful video! Thanks!

[@jonburgmann]

I tucked those leads out of the way against the plastic end cap away from motor case/shell some kind of thin insulation sheet could be put on inside of motor case to prevent carbon brush leads shorting

[@pbirdwell7876]

The pump you received was clearly assembled 4:30 PM on a Friday.

[@mckinneytexaszeds5922]

AWESOME!!!!!! I say the same things for foul parts like that lol.. Where they half ass it to hurry up and get off work kinda part lmfao

[@motoforlyfe]

Great video! Very thorough, gave me exactly the information that I was looking for.

[@AutoBodyEverything]

What did you build with it?

[@jonburgmann]

Mine has a current rating of 6.5 amps @12vdc 12 lpm & was drawing 24 amps & switching on & off & found the carbon brush leads were long & shorting on motor shell inside

[@jonburgmann]

The outlet size hose needs to be unrestricted eg smaller hose diameter along the outlet hose otherwise it will draw 24amps & cause the thermal switch to switch on & off every 20 to 30 seconds so if the outlet is 3/8 you need to use 3/8 or bigger with no restrictions if your barbed outlet is 1/2” you need to use 1/2” or bigger hose/pipe

[@agant172]

Answered my questions exactly. I can order one knowing it will work for my project, thanks

[@charleshines8523]

If that is a fuel pump I would hate to be the one who used that to transfer any fuel to a tank!! They must have hoped the first run of Diesel fuel would clean it out and no one would ever notice.

[@jacobr1215]

I was thinking of getting this pump for my turbo set up

[@herekao]

Great video!! I think use a similar pump to help the mechanical pump in lower rotations of the engine.

[@AutoBodyEverything]

I’m shopping for one of these to prime a passer gear on a QR25DE. I’ll have to make a fitting to the cam gear cover to fill the phaser with oil bcs it’s not staying locked during startup bcs I have cams and harder springs bcs it’s a turbo build and the phaser isn’t equipped to hold the valve spring tension on the cam lobes although everything is new as well as phaser. ANYHOW... I don’t know if I DO or DONT need a return bcs the phaser does have two in&out oil passage ways and any extra oil would just flow into the rest of the motor, idk... there’s not a lot of information that I need about the technicalities of the QR25DE so that I can fabricate the prime pump for the phaser. How has your pump treated you so fast and was it over $60?

[@jonburgmann]

There is a sticker on front cover with an arrow pointing the direction

[@Rampant_Colt]

I bought one of the yellow and black transfer pumps on eBay for $17 shipped, and it includes the inlet and outlet hoses. Works great

[@jonburgmann]

Check the carbon brush leads inside are not shorting on motor casing

[@AutoBodyEverything]

Also buddy,... could I draw oil from the filter’s sandwich plate for priming the phaser gear like I described in my last comment? The outlet on the sandwich plate is just like the outlet for the turbo oil feed line.

[@richardmathews8250]

For priming purposes you can draw from the engine's oil pickup, but you MUST ensure that that the engine's oil pump CANNOT draw from the Tee-d line to the primer or the engine will lose oil pressure. This can be accomplished with a one-way check valve. You can source these from a hydraulic supply store.

[@AutoBodyEverything]

Richard Mathews ..... so connecting the scavenge pump to one of the sandwich plate’s oil outlet will draw oil through the filter first and secondly from the oil’s pickup tube? I know an oil filter has some kind of one way flap inside the canister but I haven’t gotten far enough into this project to know if the pump will pull oil through the filter without discrepancy... I won’t need to worry about a check valve bcs the oil filter’s adapter only sends oil out, it does not accept auxiliary oil.

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

What I don't understand about these pumps is that they are promoted as a pump to scavenge oil from a turbo or to circulate oil for diff coolers. But then they say that the pump has a 30 minute duty cycle. So you can only drive for 30 minutes at a time?

[@flinch622]

It's Chinesium: thrash it, and see where it gives out - AvE would. Since duty cycle is generally expressed as a percent... 30 minutes vs a complete unknown means what? Something failed in translation. Maybe this needs a pwm controller for dedicated scavenging? A 30% duty cycle would slow it down and in doing that also avoids some of the pitfalls we saw from high pressure. But mainly, this pump seems aimed at transfer: the test we saw [1 quart in 5 seconds] applied to a 30 minute run time suggests 180gph transfer rate. Freightliner tank? About 150 gallons I believe. A D5 dozer? About 80 gallons. A 60 foot yacht? 1900 gallons... and tanks need balancing to trim list periodically. List of applications is gigantic.

[@stephencresswell4760]

Very useful review. I’m looking at these on eBay to use to help cool a gearbox.

[@jonburgmann]

Check current draw with no load on it then with a load 20 amps is alot of current for that pump motor there is a thermal switch inside glued to the end cap at 20amps you will find it will start/stop intermittently because it heats up at 20 amps & trips the thermal switch then when it cools the thermal switch automatically resets & motor will run again

[@slowlearner984]

I've had this pump on my turbo VW beetle. It's very loud without rubber mounts. I made that mistake and then fixed it. It's also VERY heavy for what it is. The unit I got was pretty clean, so obviously you got a bad one with all that crud. I will say though, I'm still working through oil scavenging issues. I might be the pump, It's kinda hard to tell. But like you say, it seem to pump really well. The issue will be getting it to pump foamy hot oil from a turbo.

[@jonburgmann]

After tucking those carbon brush leads away from the short my pump is rated at 6.5 amps now its drawing 1.7 amps no load

[@adombruce9875]

100% useful exactly what i wanted to know and see

[@jonburgmann]

12 lpm minimum 3/8 barbs, 32 lpm 1/2” barbs & hoses

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

I am assuming that if it's marketed as a turbo scavenge pump that it must be rated for continuous service? How hot does it get when run continuously for a couple of hours?

[@carguyeh]

Naughty Goat Farm I've only run it for a minute or so and it didn't get warm. Considering the poor quality of this pump I would not recommend it for something critical like a turbo scavenge pump. I only used it for priming the engine, not a critical application.

[@Beng177]

Very informative video! Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks!

[@JodBronson]

Hi, Thank you for the Video, I did learn something from you experimenting :D

[@reminoel483]

Any fuel regulator has a return anyways

[@mckinneytexaszeds5922]

It's not an EBAY product, it's a 3rd party seller named "SingFlo" which made this oil suction pump and it was purchased from Ebay. Everyone blames EBay for shit that don't work, not the manufacturer.

[@JodBronson]

+McKinney Texas Zeds - 100% CORRECT !!!! - People are STUPID, what can I say? They are like DOGS.... Find the quickest hole to crawl through, but if they take a bit of time. There might be a better path, LOL.

[@3kyr154]

Hey just watched ur video im doin a stand alone oil feed for my turbocharged bike are u still using the pump or did it die.. did u have any other problems with it

[@richardmathews8250]

I abandoned the project, sold the pump for a few bucks.

[@jonburgmann]

Think that hose id is too small 9.5mm or 3/8 barbs & hoses if 12-14 lpm

[@jamest.5001]

are you the guy who did the 4x4 to AWD conversions? I read on the net

[@carguyeh]

James stranger, I don't know if I am the person you are thinking of, but I have done a few S10 AWD conversions.

[@drakegalager9702]

HOW DOES HOT OIL AFFECT ITS USE, BETWEEN NORMAL ENGINE OIL TEMP OF 200 - 260 F ?

[@carguyeh]

I didn't use it for hot oil, but I see no reason that it wouldn't work just as well.

[@mckinneytexaszeds5922]

So what's the update? How long has it worked?

[@carguyeh]

It's a pretty large project, haven't finished it yet.

[@Rampant_Colt]

how about now, two years later?

[@arobalino322]

you didn't try it on the heavy oil.

[@nikola23gr]

You put a lot of work just to test the pump.

[@patrickmulholland1840]

thats a great type of motor but that ones scrap send it back asap

[@ابوسارهحفظهاالله]

How much is it

[@tkevin849]

We have similar model of gear oil pump.and we are the manufacturer of them.our pumps is lighter.with few noise

[@tkevin849]

SBD Dauntless hello.may I have your mail ？or WeChat or WhatsApp.let us talk about it

[@tkevin849]

Talon Lavoie may I have your email ？

[@centaurot]

T Kevin information please [e-mail]

[@1N2themystic]

Do you have a website? I need a pump for a 1000cc motorcycle application.

[@RideByNight]

Could this be used to extract oil for an oil change?

[@carguyeh]

Yes it could. It has great suction and does not need to be primed. These pumps are originally listed as marine oil change pumps. You could thread a fitting into the oil pan drain plug hole with a hose attached. Run the hose well above the oil level and plug the hose end. When you are ready to change the oil connect the pump to the hose and direction the discharge into a pail and power the pump. The professional marine pumps cost about $700. For just pumping out old oil this is all you need.

[@RideByNight]

Thanks so much for the info. I think I will give this a shot.

[@sehnal139]

HE IS SOUNDS LIKE RAY ROMANO

[@dontrustwhiteyevery1]

True.

[@brandon05191996]

Yeah so whats the deal

[@williampierce5615]

Make video where it works.

[@Vavahhhhhh]

It seems too noisy for normal use in turbo engines. Sound should stand out in idling speed

[@68cutty]

looks like trans fluid and not motor oil

[@ابوسارهحفظهاالله]
