Product Overview
Remote property caretakers and absent landowners install the Aussie Fire Chief (QP205SE/L48ESOL) solenoid diesel pump for autonomous bushfire protection around homestead perimeters and isolated outbuildings. A fitted fuel solenoid supports automatic start-stop control throughout long dormant winter months. The self-priming wet end picks up water instantly when emergency fire pumps are initiated.
Emergency water delivery achieves a maximum delivery rate of 400 L/min and develops a maximum elevation head of 60 m. Internal hydraulic architecture features a marine grade aluminium casing with big belly priming geometry, a single piece closed aluminium impeller, and a carbon ceramic mechanical seal with nitrile elastomers. Total equipment mass is 45 kg in standard operating trim.
Mechanical drive is provided by a Yanmar L48 4.8HP electric start diesel engine with stop/start fuel solenoid (battery supplied separately) producing 4.8 HP. Plumbing connections incorporate 2" BSP male inlet & 3-way outlet (2 x 1", 1 x 1.5") with metal caps & chains, and the self-priming wet end achieves 7.6 m vertical suction lift. Rapid self-priming internal dynamics pick up fluid swiftly without requiring manual foot valves on suction lines.
Structural fully welded steel roll frame with battery mounting tray encloses the equipment while isolating mechanical vibration and simplifying site movement. The structural mount provides balance during transport across field vehicles, trailers, and utility trays. Complete spare parts support and factory technical documentation are accessible through Aussie Pumps distribution networks across Australia.
