Dambat, known for its range of IBO pumps, also offers professional solutions for fuels and oils under the AOP brand. Our range includes fuel drain pumps, fuel transfer pumps, and oil pumps, suitable both for automotive workshops and stationary installations in industrial plants.
Fuel and oil drain pumps – when are they worth having?
A fuel drain pump for emptying a tank is essential equipment for every automotive workshop, fleet service center, and even private user. It enables the quick and safe emptying of a tank if the wrong fuel has been added, the system has failed, or the tank needs to be cleaned. Dambat offers an electric fuel drain pump, including a 230V version, which provides convenient operation without the need for manual pumping.
Our AOP series devices are not limited to mobile solutions. We also offer complete fuel and oil transfer sets, consisting of:
- a vane pump with a by-pass valve,
- an oil filter,
- a nozzle (pistol) with automatic shut-off,
- suction and delivery hoses,
- a flow meter (on selected models).
What liquids are AOP pumps suitable for?
AOP series devices are designed to work with various types of media:
- diesel fuel,
- heating oil,
- biodiesel,
- engine oil (with special pumps),
- other light technical oils.
Their fuel transfer pump can be used as either a stationary or mobile unit, depending on the version and configuration. Fuel transfer pumps are essential when refueling construction machinery, agricultural machinery, or transport fleets. Workshop versions often include oil drain pumps and oil extraction pumps for removing oil from engine oil pans.

Mobility and safety
Portable models from the AOP series are ideal for working in the field. With the option of connecting them to a 12V battery or a 230V power supply, the 230V electric fuel drain pump performs well even in demanding conditions. The pumps are equipped with overload protection systems, while versions with a by-pass provide protection against excessive pressure buildup.
