Explosion Proof Fuel Transfer Pumps: Safe, Compliant, and Built for Risk Zones 2025

When transferring diesel, petrol, aviation fuel, or solvents, there’s one priority that outranks flow rate or portability: safety. In volatile environments, even a small spark can trigger a disaster. That’s why industries across Australia rely on the explosion proof fuel transfer pump—designed to move flammable liquids while meeting stringent safety standards.

At MultiTorque, we supply and service explosion proof fuel transfer pumps that meet the demands of hazardous zones, refuelling stations, mining operations, and industrial sites. With decades of experience in fluid handling, we ensure your transfer system isn’t just efficient—it’s compliant, rugged, and ready for anything.


What Is an Explosion Proof Fuel Transfer Pump?

An explosion proof fuel transfer pump is specifically engineered to transfer flammable liquids in environments where vapours or combustible particles could ignite. These pumps feature sealed, spark-free motors, anti-static materials, and grounding features to prevent ignition during operation.

They are rated for hazardous zones under international standards such as ATEX, IECEx, and Class I Div 1—depending on your local compliance requirements.


When Are They Required?

Explosion proof transfer pumps are essential for:

  • Refuelling stations and depots
  • Mining sites and fuel skids
  • Aircraft hangars and ground operations
  • Marine diesel transfer and bunkering
  • Chemical and fuel manufacturing
  • Remote fuel distribution in high-temperature zones

If your application involves petroleum, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol, methanol, or volatile solvents, standard motors are not safe to use. In these situations, MultiTorque recommends a properly rated explosion proof transfer pump to reduce risk and meet safety code.


Key Features of Our Explosion Proof Fuel Transfer Pumps

1. Sealed Explosion-Proof Motors
Designed to contain any internal ignition within the motor housing, preventing external fires or explosions.

2. Grounding & Bonding Protection
Prevents static build-up during fuel flow, a common source of accidental ignition.

3. ATEX & IECEx Certified
Many of our pumps are fully certified for use in hazardous zones—just tell us your requirements.

4. Durable Construction
Available in stainless steel, cast iron, or aluminium—depending on chemical compatibility and use case.

5. Multiple Power Options
Electric (240V or 415V), diesel-driven, or pneumatic explosion proof pumps available for mobile or fixed installations.
