Product Overview
Rural landholders and forestry workers deploy the Aussie Fire Chief (QP205SE/L48) diesel recoil pump for bushfire fighting in regions where petrol storage is restricted or vapor ignition poses hazards. Diesel fuel economy allows prolonged continuous pumping without frequent refuelling stops during wild bushfires. Marine grade aluminium casing metallurgy withstands radiant heat and airborne embers.
Emergency water delivery achieves a maximum delivery rate of 400 L/min and develops a maximum pressure of 85 psi. 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 recoil start diesel engine producing 4.8HP (3.5kW) Diesel. 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.
Galvanised steel roll frame with anti-vibration rubber mounts 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.
