Oil Transfer Pumps
Oil transfer pumps are essential when it comes to transferring liquids from one container to another. With our oil transfer pumps, you can safely transport oil, lubricants, fuel and other substances without spillages occurring. Whether you need to move liquids from above ground, below ground, or from your vehicle, we’ve got you covered.
A Wide Range Of Oil Transfer Pumps
Northern Tank Store has a wide range of oil transfer pumps to suit your requirements. Our pumps are designed to assist you with all your equipment and automotive fluid needs – whether it be coolants, greases, window wash fluids, or more.
Part of our comprehensive range of lube oil equipment, all our oil transfer pumps are manufactured with endurance and function in mind. This means you can benefit from a product that operates for years, even in the most demanding environments.
Find an oil transfer pump to suit your needs
If you’re looking to speed up the transfer process, we recommend selecting a pump with a high flow rate. Make sure to select appropriate flow rates according to the size of your equipment or vehicle.
Other factors to consider when choosing your oil transfer pump include; the pump application, the power supply, fluid temperature, viscosity and flow rate.
Our premium collection of oil transfer pumps features varying designs and flexible features to ensure there’s something for everyone. Whether you need a complete assembly pump – complete with a motor and filter – or a simple standalone pump, place an order with our reputable brand today. If you’re unsure, simply get in touch to ask one of our specialists.

FAQs About Oil Transfer Pumps
What types of oil can these pumps transfer?
Most lube oil transfer pumps handle mineral-based engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and transmission fluids. Some models also work with light fuel oils. Always check the pump's viscosity rating before use, as thicker oils require a pump with sufficient suction power to move fluid efficiently without straining the motor.
What's the difference between a hand pump and an electric oil transfer pump?
Hand pumps are manually operated, require no power source, and are suitable for low-volume or occasional transfers. Electric pumps (12V, 24V, or 240V) move larger volumes faster and are better suited to workshops, plant hire, or regular fleet maintenance where speed and consistency matter.
How do I choose the right flow rate for my needs?
Match the flow rate to the volume you need to move and how quickly. A small hand pump may deliver around 0.5 litres per stroke, while electric models commonly range from 30 to 60 litres per minute. For drum-to-drum transfers or vehicle servicing, a mid-range electric pump typically covers most workshop requirements without over-specifying.
Can I use an oil transfer pump with a standard IBC or 205-litre drum?
Yes, most oil transfer pumps are designed to work with both IBCs and 205-litre drums. Check the inlet fitting size and whether an appropriate drum adaptor or dip tube is included or needs to be purchased separately. A drum that's nearly empty may also need a longer dip tube to reach the remaining fluid at the base.
Do I need any special fittings or hose to connect an oil transfer pump?
Most pumps use BSP (British Standard Pipe) threaded connections. An oil-resistant hose rated for the viscosity and temperature range of your fluid is essential; standard water hose is not suitable and can degrade quickly when exposed to petroleum-based oils.
Are oil transfer pumps safe to use with waste or used engine oil?
Some pumps are rated for waste oil, but not all. Used engine oil contains particulates and combustion by-products that can damage seals and impellers, leading to premature pump failure if the unit isn't designed for contaminated fluids. Look for a pump specifically rated for that application and check that the seal material is compatible.
How should I maintain an oil transfer pump to keep it working reliably?
After each use, run a small amount of clean oil through the pump to flush residue from the internals, then store it with the inlet and outlet capped to prevent contamination. Check hose connections and seals periodically for wear or weeping. Electric pump motors should be kept dry and protected from dust in workshop environments.
What voltage options are available, and which suits a workshop without a 240V supply?
Oil transfer pumps are commonly available in 12V DC, 24V DC, and 240V AC, with some models also offered in 110V or 415V three-phase. If your site lacks a mains supply, such as a remote yard or field location, a 12V model powered from a vehicle or portable battery pack is the practical choice.
