TERA PUMP 2nd Gen Fuel Transfer Pump TRFA01-XL — Auto-Stop Nozzle, 39.4" Hose, 2.4 GPM

TERA PUMP 2nd Gen is a battery-powered fuel transfer pump that quickly and safely moves gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and light oils with an auto-stop overfill sensor and easy one-button operation.

If you frequently handle fuel for vehicles, lawn equipment, boats or emergency storage, this upgraded TRFA01-XL model streamlines the process. The 2025 revisions add a 39.4-inch vinyl discharge hose, tougher metal impeller cover, ergonomic nozzle and a universal gas can adapter to reduce spills, protect the pump from debris, and make pouring more comfortable.

How quickly will this pump transfer fuel?

The TERA PUMP moves liquid at roughly 2.4 gallons per minute (about 11 liters per minute), so a typical 5-gallon can is emptied in roughly two minutes. Its flow rate makes it practical for refilling cars, ATVs, mowers, and small tanks without long wait times.

• Flow: ~2.4 GPM / 11 LPM for fast transfers
• 5-gallon can empty in ~2 minutes
• Suitable for vehicles, lawn equipment, boats, and small tanks

What safety features prevent spills or overfilling?

An internal sensor in the discharge nozzle pauses pumping automatically when fuel reaches the receiving container, helping prevent overfills and spills. The upgraded metal impeller cover also helps keep debris out of the pump mechanism, increasing reliability during repeated use.

• Auto-stop sensor in nozzle to halt flow at full level
• Metal impeller cover protects pump internals from contaminants
• Ergonomic nozzle reduces user fatigue and unsteady pouring

Which fuels and liquids can I use with this pump?

The TRFA01-XL accepts a broad set of liquids: standard gasoline, diesel, kerosene, light oils, water (not for drinking), and many racing blends. Note that some high-ethanol fuels like E85 can accelerate seal wear; remove and store the pump after each use to prolong life.

• Compatible: gasoline, diesel, kerosene, light oils, water (not potable)
• Works with E10 and E15; use caution and remove pump immediately after E85
• Designed for short-term transfers rather than permanent immersion

How is it powered and how long will batteries last?

No built-in rechargeable battery or charging cable is needed—this model runs on standard AA alkaline batteries. With four AA cells installed, expect enough capacity to pump roughly 250 gallons (about fifty 5-gallon cans); an emergency two-cell mode still delivers useful transfers for smaller jobs.

• Power: 4x AA alkaline batteries (no charger required)
• Estimated output: up to ~250 gallons on a fresh set of 4 batteries
• Emergency mode: operates with 2 batteries for reduced throughput

Who is this for? This TERA PUMP 2nd Gen transfer pump is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, boat owners, farmers, motorsports teams, and emergency preppers who want a fast, portable, and low-maintenance way to move fuel without lifting heavy cans. It suits anyone who needs frequent, reliable transfers and values the convenience of auto-stop protection, a longer discharge hose, and a durable impeller cover. Choose this pump when you want a compact, battery-operated solution that emphasizes speed, spill reduction, and easy handheld control for everyday fueling tasks.
