Application
The pump casing of Al-alloy is bolted to the engine flange and the float. The bottom side of the casing is fitted with a stainless grid to prevent access of dirt and debris exceeding 10 mm in diameter. The delivery outlet of the PH–POSEIDON 1 BS is fitted with a Storz B75 (2,5").
The new float body is made of polyethylene by centrifugal injection as one block. The floater with its new design is equipped with a removable tank. The tank is connected with a fuel hose to the original fuel system. This modification extends the pumps run time for several hours without refilling. The integrated handles make it easy to handle and carry the pump and can also be used to fix a rope to prevent the pump from floating away.
The design of the pump allows dry-running without damage.
Warning: The pump must not be run in enclosed areas as there is a danger of carbon oxide poisoning!!!
