OP 40 - oil pump
The IBO OP 40 oil pump is a self-priming positive displacement pump powered by 12 V direct current from a battery system. It is used for transferring diesel fuel, heating oil, and biodiesel, and is suitable wherever there is no access to a 230 V mains supply. Thermal protection in the motor winding and a bypass relief valve protect the pump during operation.
Who it is for
- Transport companies – the 12 V power supply allows fuel to be dispensed and transferred directly from a vehicle or trailer.
- Farms – the pump makes it easier to transfer diesel fuel from drums and tanks to machinery in the field where there is no access to mains electricity.
- Workshops and mobile service teams – the portable 12 V device is suitable for servicing equipment in locations without a 230 V installation.
- Fuel tank users – the self-priming design allows convenient emptying and filling of oil tanks.
Application
The OP 40 pump is used for transferring diesel fuel, heating oil, biodiesel, and other liquids with lubricating properties that do not cause steel corrosion. It is used for filling and emptying tanks, drums, and vehicle fuel tanks, while the option of 12 V battery power makes it a mobile solution ready to operate beyond the reach of the electrical grid.
The device can draw liquid from a depth of up to 5 m, making it suitable for transferring fuel between tanks positioned at different levels. The suction end should be fitted with a check valve with a strainer, and the system should be filled with oil before the first start-up. The OP 40 oil pump is a handy tool for everyday work with fuels in transport and agriculture.
Features of the OP 40 pump
The OP 40 is a self-priming, rotary vane positive displacement pump designed for pumping fuels and liquids with lubricating properties. The motor is powered by 12 V direct current from a battery system, while the thermal protection built into the winding protects it against overheating. The 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 start-up, the suction pipe and the hydraulic section of the pump must be filled with oil.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – OP 40 oil pump
What is the OP 40 pump used for?
The IBO OP 40 pump is used for transferring diesel fuel, heating oil, biodiesel, and other liquids with lubricating properties. It is used for filling and emptying tanks, drums, and vehicle fuel tanks.
How does the OP 40 differ from 230 V pumps?
The OP 40 is powered by 12 V direct current from a battery system, allowing it to operate independently of the electrical grid. This mobile solution is designed for use directly with vehicles and in the field, unlike AOP pumps powered by a 230 V mains supply.
Which liquids must not be pumped with the OP 40?
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 the pump be started correctly after connection?
Before the first start-up, thoroughly fill the suction pipe and the hydraulic section of the pump with oil through the priming plug. Starting the pump without filling it with oil causes dry running and damage to the pumping components.
Where can the OP 40 pump be purchased?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO OP 40 oil pump can be purchased from our commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
Where should a fault or service inquiry be reported?
