Bush Plane Fuel Pump

Fuel Up Where the Trucks Can't Follow | PumpMatic 12-Ft Hose — BRS
Pilot fueling a bush plane with the PumpMatic 12-ft hose at a remote strip
For backcountry & floatplane owners

Fuel up where the trucks can't follow.

A gravel bar, a float, a grass strip with no pump for a hundred miles. The PumpMatic moves fuel from your cans and drums straight into the wing — no lifting, no siphoning, no spill down the fuselage.

Like a fuel truck in your baggage pod

Built for the way you actually fuel

No FBO. No ladder. No jerry can hoisted over your head at 6 a.m. Just controlled, hands-free fuel transfer wherever you park it.

Reaches the high wing

The 12-ft (3.7 m) discharge hose runs from a can on the ground up to a high-wing tank — no stepstool, no balancing on a float.

Auto-Stop, every time

The level sensor cuts flow the instant the tank is full. No fuel weeping down the wing, no avgas in the water.

Up to 3.2 GPM (12 L/min)

Move a 5-gallon (19 L) can in about 90 seconds. Top the tanks and get wheels-up before the weather turns.

Power anywhere

4 AA cells in a pinch, or run off 12V clips, a 12V socket, or an AC adapter. Nothing to charge before you launch.

Handles your fuel

Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and E85. One pump for the plane, the boat, the generator, and the side-by-side.

Packs down small

Pump, hoses, and adapters stow in the baggage compartment. It rides along without eating your useful load.

What earns it a spot in the baggage pod

01 / REACH

Twelve feet of hose changes the job

Leave the heavy can flat on the ground or the float. The extra-long 12-ft (3.7 m) discharge hose gives you the reach to fuel a high-wing tank standing flat-footed — no lifting a full can overhead, no fuel running down your arm.

02 / SAFETY

Auto-Stop keeps fuel out of the water

Overfilling on a float means avgas on the wing and in the lake. The built-in level sensor stops flow the moment the tank is full, so you can watch the wing instead of the filler neck — and keep the mess off your aircraft and the ramp.

03 / SPEED

Top the tanks and beat the weather

Up to 3.2 gallons per minute (12 litres/min) means a 5-gallon (19 L) can clears in about a minute and a half. When the window's closing and you've got four cans to move, the difference between a pump and a hand siphon is measured in daylight.

04 / POWER

No FBO? No power? No problem.

Run it off 4 AA batteries when you're parked in the middle of nowhere, or plug into 12V clips, a 12V socket, or an AC adapter back at the hangar. Four ways to power it, all in the box — so a dead battery never grounds you.

The numbers that matter

Why owners keep one in the pod

~90s

To move a full 5-gallon (19 L) can at up to 3.2 GPM (12 L/min) — versus the long, hand-cramping haul of a shake siphon.

4

Ways to power it — AA cells, 12V clips, 12V socket, AC adapter — so you're never stuck without a working pump.

0

Spills you have to babysit. Auto-Stop shuts flow off at full so nothing runs down the wing or into the water.

"Auto-stop earns its keep on floats. It shut off right at full — nothing down the wing, nothing in the lake. Exactly what I wanted."

"Moved four cans into the tanks before the ceiling dropped. Would've been fighting a siphon for twenty minutes otherwise. Rides in the pod now."

Three steps, wheels-up

Simple enough to run in a headwind

  • Set your can

    Attach the adapter to your fuel can and drop in the 35-inch (0.9 m) intake tube. Leave the can flat on the ground or the float.

  • Run the hose to the wing

    Route the 12-ft discharge hose up to the filler neck. Pick your power — AA, 12V clips, 12V socket, or AC.

  • Press ON and watch the wing

    Fuel moves at up to 3.2 GPM (12 L/min). Auto-Stop cuts flow the moment the tank is full — no overfill, no mess.

Why we built it

Made for the fuel stops that aren't on the chart

Most transfer pumps are built for a garage floor and a lawnmower. They come up short the second you're standing on a float trying to reach a wing tank, or moving fuel out of drums on a gravel bar with no power and weather moving in.

So we built the PumpMatic around the hard fuel-ups: a hose long enough to reach the wing, a sensor that stops the flow so you don't dump fuel where it doesn't belong, and four ways to power it so a dead battery never strands you. Then we backed it with a real guarantee.

Frequently asked

Will the 12-ft hose reach a high-wing tank?
Yes — that's exactly what the extra-long 12-ft (3.7 m) discharge hose is for. It runs from a can or drum on the ground (or your float) up to a high-wing filler neck so you're not lifting a full can overhead or balancing on a stepstool.
Which fuels does it handle?
Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, E85, AdBlue/DEF, and non-potable water. Always confirm the fuel your aircraft is approved to run and follow your POH and any applicable STC — this pump moves fuel, it doesn't change what your engine is certified to burn.
How fast does it move fuel?
Up to 3.2 gallons per minute (about 12 litres/min), so a 5-gallon (19 L) can clears in roughly 90 seconds. Real-world flow varies with fuel type, temperature, and how high you're lifting to the tank.
What powers it out in the field?
Four options, all included: 4 AA batteries, 12V battery clips, a 12V car/accessory socket adapter, and an AC 120V wall adapter. The AA option is the one that matters most when you're parked somewhere with no power at all.
How does the Auto-Stop work?
A level sensor in the nozzle detects when the receiving tank reaches full and shuts the flow off. It's designed to prevent overfills so you're not running fuel down the wing or into the water on a float.
What are the safe fueling basics?
Fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources, bond and ground your containers and aircraft per standard fueling practice, and follow your aircraft's approved fueling procedures and all local regulations. This is consumer fuel-transfer equipment, not certified aviation refueling gear — use good judgment and standard static-control precautions.
What's the warranty and return policy?
A 1-Year Full Replacement Warranty and a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, with free fast shipping. If it fails within the warranty period, your unit is covered.
