AOP 55 – oil pump
The IBO AOP 55 oil pump is a self-priming, positive-displacement vane pump powered by a single-phase 230 V mains supply. It is used to transfer diesel fuel, heating oil, and biodiesel, and is suitable for filling and emptying tanks and drums. Thermal protection in the motor winding and the bypass relief valve protect the pump during operation.
Who is it for
- Farms – the pump makes it convenient to transfer diesel fuel from drums and tanks to agricultural machinery.
- Transport companies – the device is suitable for refueling vehicles and transferring fuel between tanks.
- Industrial plants – stationary installation at the tank enables regular, controlled dispensing of oil.
- Heating system users – the self-priming design makes it easier to fill heating oil tanks.
Applications
The AOP 55 pump is used to transfer diesel fuel, heating oil, biodiesel, and other lubricating liquids that do not cause steel corrosion. It is used to fill and empty tanks, drums, and vehicle tanks, while the 230 V mains power supply makes it well suited to workshops and stationary refueling stations.
The device draws liquid from a depth of up to 5 m, allowing it to operate with tanks positioned at different levels. The suction end is fitted with a foot valve with a strainer, and the system is filled with oil before the first start-up. The AOP 55 230V oil pump is a practical tool for everyday work with fuels in agriculture and industry.
Features of the AOP 55 pump
AOP 55 is a self-priming, positive-displacement vane pump designed for pumping fuels and lubricating liquids. The motor is powered by single-phase 230 V current, and thermal protection built into the winding protects it from overheating. A bypass relief valve protects the pump against excessive discharge resistance.
The pump is not intended for liquids that cause steel corrosion, such as water, or for flammable and explosive liquids such as gasoline. The oil should be free of abrasive solid contaminants. Before starting, the suction pipe and the hydraulic section of the pump must be filled with oil.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – AOP 55 oil pump
What is the AOP 55 pump used for?
The IBO AOP 55 pump is designed for transferring diesel fuel, heating oil, biodiesel, and other lubricating liquids. It is used to fill and empty tanks, barrels, and vehicle fuel tanks.
How does the AOP 55 differ from 12 V pumps?
The AOP 55 is powered by a single-phase 230 V supply, making it suitable for use in workshops and at stationary refueling stations. The 12 V DC-powered OP versions are a mobile solution that operates from a battery system.
What liquids must not be pumped with the AOP 55 pump?
The oil pump must not be used for liquids that cause steel corrosion, especially water, as this will cause it to seize. Pumping flammable and explosive liquids, such as gasoline, is also prohibited.
How should I start the pump correctly after connecting it?
Before the first start-up, thoroughly fill the suction pipe and the hydraulic part of the pump with oil through the filling plug. Starting the pump without filling it with oil will cause dry running and damage to the pumping components.
Where can I buy the AOP 55 pump?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO AOP 55 oil pump can be purchased from our commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
Where should I report a fault or submit a service inquiry?
