Product Overview
Pastoral homesteaders and remote station managers set up the Aussie Fire Chief (QP205SE/L48E) electric start diesel pump for quick-response bushfire defense and unattended livestock water distribution. Electric key starting provides effortless activation for all station personnel during emergencies. The self-priming pump chamber draws water quickly from surface dams and concrete storage tanks.
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 electric start diesel engine (battery supplied separately) 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 battery tray & colour-coded leads 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.
