3. FUEL TRANSFER AND OPERATIONAL USE
After setting up the DTP20 according to the directions and safety instructions,
you are now ready to transfer fuel oil. The DTP20 is fully mobile and capable of
traversing most terrains. Roll the DTP20 out to a tank that has fuel in it. Attach
ground wire to create ground from the tank to the cart. Afterward, insert the
suction side of the intake hose assembly into the tank you are transferring the
fuel from. BE SURE THE BALL VALVE IS LEFT OPEN WHEN TRANSFERRING
FUEL. Once the suction side is correctly installed in the tank, then zero the fuel
flow meter prior to fuel transfer (See “TO VIEW VOLUME FLOW” on pg 6).
Before turning on the fuel pump, insert the pump nozzle into the tank where the
fuel oil is being transferred. Pull the trigger on the handle and begin transferring
fuel. While fuel is being transferred, be diligent in looking for any leaks or spills.
For the best transfer rate, keep the suction side as close to level as possible and
keep your batteries fully charged. DO NOT WEDGE any object in the trigger to
keep the pump handle “ON”. Running the pump dry will cause permanent
damage and void the warranty. Listen for the fuel or observe the flow from the
nozzle to determine when to shut off the pump. Always have an emergency spill
kit ready in case of a spill.
2. OPERATIONAL TESTING PRIOR TO USE
DO NOT TURN THE UNIT ON UNLESS PROPER WIRING IS VERIFIED. Only
short durations of dry-running the pump should be used for operational verifica-
tion. Continuous dry-running of the pump will damage the pump unit and void
warranty. To operate the pump assembly, move the lever handle (Chrome Foot)
UP for the “ON” position. The switch is located on the right side of the pump
assembly. Once the pump unit is turned on, you should hear the pump running.
Then verify proper 12 Volt connection.

4. FUEL TRANSFER WITH REDUCED ADAPTER:
If you are not just transferring fuel but would like to sweep the debris off the
bottom of a fuel tank, the use of the smaller ¾” adapter is recommended. To use
the 3/4” adapter, remove the 8’ X 1” hose assembly from the lower intake pump
port. Install the ¾” hose assembly. At this point you can also install the ½”
adapter on the end of the ¾” hose and use it for sweeping or accessing small
tank openings.
