OP 40 - oil pump
The IBO OP 40 oil pump is a self-priming positive-displacement pump powered by 12 V DC from a battery system. It is designed for transferring diesel, heating oil, and biodiesel, and is suitable wherever there is no access to a 230 V power supply. Thermal protection in the motor winding and a bypass relief valve protect the pump during operation.
Who is it for?
- Transport companies – the 12 V power supply makes it possible to refuel and transfer fuel directly from a vehicle or trailer.
- Farms – the pump makes it easy to transfer diesel from barrels and tanks to machinery in the field, away from the mains power supply.
- Workshops and mobile service teams – the portable 12 V device is ideal for servicing equipment in locations without a 230 V power supply.
- Fuel tank users – the self-priming design makes it easy to empty and fill oil tanks.
Applications
The OP 40 pump is designed for transferring diesel, heating oil, biodiesel, and other lubricating liquids that do not corrode steel. It is used to fill and empty tanks, barrels, and vehicle fuel tanks. Its 12 V battery power supply makes it a mobile solution, ready for use away from the electrical grid.
The device draws liquid from depths of up to 5 m, making it suitable for transferring fuel between tanks at different levels. The suction end should be fitted with a foot valve and strainer, and the system should be primed with oil before first use. The OP 40 oil pump is a handy tool for everyday fuel handling in transport and agriculture.
Features of the OP 40 pump
The OP 40 is a self-priming positive-displacement vane pump designed for pumping fuels and lubricating liquids. The motor is powered by 12 V DC from a battery system, and built-in thermal protection in the winding prevents it from overheating. A bypass relief valve protects the pump when discharge resistance is too high.
The pump is not intended for liquids that corrode steel, 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 primed with oil.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – OP 40 oil pump
What is the OP 40 pump used for?
The IBO OP 40 pump is designed to transfer diesel, heating oil, biodiesel, and other lubricating liquids. It is used to fill and empty tanks, drums, and vehicle fuel tanks.
How does the OP 40 differ from 230 V-powered pumps?
The OP 40 is powered by 12 V DC from a battery system, allowing it to operate independently of the power grid. This mobile solution is designed for use directly with vehicles and in the field, unlike AOP pumps powered by 230 V mains electricity.
Which liquids must not be pumped with the OP 40 pump?
The oil pump must not be used with liquids that corrode steel, especially water, as this will cause it to seize. Pumping flammable or explosive liquids, such as gasoline, is also prohibited.
How do I start the pump correctly after connecting it?
Before starting the pump for the first time, thoroughly fill the suction pipe and the pump’s hydraulic section with oil through the priming plug. Starting the pump without filling it with oil will cause it to run dry and damage the pumping components.
Where can I buy the OP 40 pump?
As a manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO OP 40 oil pump can be purchased from our sales partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
