Day Tank 

Pump Priming 

Procedure

 

 

The Day Tank pump is shipped from the factory pre-primed 
with  SAE    30    oil.    On  initial  start-up  the  pump  must  be 
manually pre-primed. 

Do not prime the system by running 

the  pump  motor

!  Normally  it  is  not  necessary  to  fill  the 

supply line with fuel to prime the pump. 

1. Remove  the  steel  plug  from  the  pump
priming tee, insert a short piece of pipe in the
pump  priming  tee  and  attach  a  reducing
coupler or funnel.

2. Fill  the  line  from  the  check  valve  to  the
pump  with  fuel  oil  or  lube  oil.  Energize  the
pump/motor and observe fuel flowing through
the  clear    flex    hose.  Allow  the  pipe  to  drain
about halfway, then hold your hand on the top
of  the  pipe  to  temporarily  seal  the  open  tee.
The  oil  drawn  into  the  pump  will  act  to  seal
the  pump  and  allow  a  large  vacuum  to  be
generated.  Repeat  as  required  until  line  is
primed.  After  pump  is  primed  remove
pipe/funnel and replace plug in pump priming
tee.
