Description
A high-output petrol water pump for irrigation, tank transfer, site work or a temporary supply where no electric pump is available. This page is built to help you pick the right petrol engine-driven pump matched to flow rate, discharge head and how it will actually be used on site.
What is it for?
- Agricultural irrigation
- Filling a tank quickly
- Clean water transfer
- Site work with no mains supply
This model strikes the best balance between size, flow and versatility among petrol water pumps. For water carrying solids, abrasives or mud, the hydraulic suitability has to be confirmed first.

Flocea advice
Une petrol water pump makes sense where the site has no reliable electrical supply, or where the duty is mobile. For a fixed installation, an electric or solar pump needs less maintenance. Flocea can compare the options on running cost, energy available and the flow required.
Frequently asked questions
Does this engine-driven pump work without electricity?
Yes. The petrol engine pumps without any electrical supply. It must be run outdoors or in a very well ventilated area.
Is the quoted flow rate always achieved on site?
No. Real flow depends on discharge head, hose length, bore, bends, valves and friction losses. That is precisely why Flocea offers a sizing service.
Can it feed a pillow tank or a fire-water reserve?
Yes, depending on target flow, couplings and discharge head. For a fire-water reserve, check the regulatory requirement and how it will be used.
