FAQs

Two matches: (1) drum-thread fitting — most 205-litre / 45-gallon drums and IBC bungs use 2 inch BSP (the worldwide drum standard). Smaller drums (25-litre, 60-litre) sometimes use 3/4 inch or 1 inch BSP — adapters are available; (2) telescoping suction-tube length — must reach to the bottom of the drum to extract the last fluid. Most rotary drum pumps have telescoping tubes adjustable from 350mm up to 1,000mm for 205-litre drum heights. Both fittings are listed on every pump product page.

Rotary drum pumps use a hand-cranked rotary motion — fast, continuous fluid flow, suited to medium-volume transfer (drum-to-container, drum-to-tank). Less precision on small-volume dispensing. Lever-action pumps use a hand-pumped lever — fixed volume per stroke (typical 250-400ml), so volume control is by counting strokes. Better for precise small-volume dispensing (oil top-up, gear-oil dispensing). Most workshops carry both — rotary for bulk transfer, lever for measured dispensing.

Yes. AdBlue (urea solution) corrodes copper, brass, and standard mild steel — AdBlue-compatible drum pumps use stainless-steel pumping elements and EPDM seal materials. Standard fuel-or-oil pumps are NOT suitable for AdBlue and will fail (and contaminate the AdBlue with corrosion products). AdBlue dispensing pumps are typically labelled and the materials specification is listed on every product page. Match the pump to the fluid — AdBlue pump for AdBlue, fuel pump for fuel, oil pump for oil.

Yes. Replacement seal kits (matched by pump model and the fluid type — fuel-resistant Viton seals; AdBlue-resistant EPDM seals; oil-rated NBR seals), replacement telescoping suction tubes, replacement dispensing hoses (in varying lengths and fluid-resistance grades), and replacement nozzles (auto-shutoff, manual control, drum-cap fittings) are available for the majority of Sealey and SIP drum pumps.
