When you need reliable pumping power in a remote or power-starved location, a gas powered diaphragm pump is your go-to tool. These rugged, self-priming workhorses thrive in tough Australian environments—moving sludges, slurries, and waste fluids where electric or air-powered options fall short.

At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and repair gas powered diaphragm pumps designed for demanding industries like mining, construction, agriculture, and emergency services.

What Is a Gas Powered Diaphragm Pump?

A gas powered diaphragm pump is a positive displacement pump driven by a petrol (gasoline) engine. Instead of relying on electricity or compressed air, it uses a combustion engine to operate a diaphragm mechanism that displaces fluid. This makes it ideal for off-grid, mobile, or emergency use.

It’s a type of double diaphragm pump that can handle:

High solids content
Thick, viscous liquids
Abrasive slurries
Hazardous chemicals (with proper materials)
Fluids containing air, foam, or chunks

Where Gas Powered Diaphragm Pumps Shine

You’ll find gas powered diaphragm pumps at work in the grittiest, muddiest, and most remote environments. Common applications include:

🛠️ Construction sites – De-watering foundations and moving concrete slurry
🛢️ Oil & gas – Transferring contaminated water and oily sludge
🐄 Agriculture – Pumping effluent, manure slurry, or irrigation runoff
⛏️ Mining – Dewatering, sump evacuation, and fluid transfer
🚒 Emergency response – Flood cleanup and chemical spill containment
🚚 Mobile units – Trailer-mounted pump systems for remote work

Their mobility, durability, and solid-handling capability make them invaluable in these conditions.
