Clarke International Clarke Cop1B Rotary Oil Pump - Pumps Oil & Fuel

The Clarke COP1B is designed for light petroleum-based fluids such as oil, diesel, petrol, and paraffin. It is not suitable for water, corrosive liquids, or heavy oils.

No, the rotary action allows you to keep the drum upright during operation, which helps prevent spills.

No, this is a manual, hand-operated pump and does not require any external power source.

After use, it is recommended to run a small amount of clean kerosene or a similar light solvent through the pump to clear out any residual fluid. Store in a dry place.

The flow rate depends on the user's pumping speed and the viscosity of the fluid. It provides a controlled flow suitable for most workshop and agricultural tasks.

While it can handle some waste oils if they are light and free of debris, it is primarily designed for transferring clean light fuels and oils. Very heavy or contaminated waste oils may not be handled effectively or could damage the pump.

Ensure the intake hose is fully submerged in the fluid. Check that the hose connections are secure and there are no air leaks. Verify the fluid is within the pump's compatibility range (light fluids only).

Ensure you are turning the handle at a consistent speed. Check the intake and outlet hoses for any kinks or blockages. If the fluid is cold, it may be slightly thicker, leading to slower flow.

Tighten the hose connections securely. Inspect the hoses and pump fittings for any cracks or damage and replace if necessary.
