Gorman-Rupp manufactures several different Fueling/
Defueling (FDF) valves for tank filling and emptying.
Reverse the flow from fuel to defuel with a simple
one-eighth turn of the valve handle.
These lightweight, compact-designed valves cut
initial costs by reducing component and piping
requirements, providing simpler arrangements plus
quick and easy installation.
Gorman-Rupp eductors increase defueling rates and
efficiency. They are small, lightweight and specifically
designed for aircraft fueling.
There are two sizes available, depending on defueling
rate requirements. Used in conjunction with an FDF
valve, eductors effectively defuel aircraft and collapse
the service hose when required.

 Gorman-Rupp has met the challenge of
accelerated aircraft fueling and defueling
requirements for over 50 years. In this ever-
changing world of faster and more agile aircraft,
Gorman-Rupp has kept pace with technology with
new designs in both pumps and valves.
Gorman-Rupp’s original designs featuring
compactness, minimum weight, high efficiency,
and rugged component construction have set the
standard around the world with thousands of units
operating in the field for virtually all major airline
and fuel suppliers.
We offer a complete line of ground service
pumps and related equipment, consisting of
several standard centrifugal and self-priming pump
models, directional valves, eductors, and a host of
other piping accessories.
In addition, Gorman-Rupp also manufactures
bulk transfer pumps, Shield-A-Spark™ engine-
driven pumps for handling volatile liquids and a
unique Tankleenor® system for use in removing
contaminants and water from underground
fuel storage tanks without the need or hassle of
draining the product from the tank.
We invite you to review our complete line of
fueling and defueling equipment. Call and speak
with one of our experts who will help you solve
your fueling, defueling or transferring challenges.
Split-Shaft Design
Gorman-Rupp’s answer to the high horsepower
requirements needed to pump the tremendous
volumes of fuel required for today’s modern
aircraft is the split-shaft, in-line, midship mount
design of the 0-Series® pumps. These pumps may
also be easily aft-mounted for rear engine type
chassis designs.
Midship Mounting
Nestled out of the way in the unused space
between the cross member of the chassis frame,
this workhorse of the fueling vehicle receives
engine power directly through a split-shaft
gearbox, integral to the pumping unit.
Performance and Accessories
Matched by None
With capacities to 1800 GPM (113,6 l/s) and
heads exceeding 170 PSI (1172 kPa), our fuel
transfer pumps easily meet the demands of rapid
aircraft turnaround and requirements of ground
service equipment and tanker vehicles.
For fueling and defueling requirements, we
offer a full line of fueling - defueling (FDF) valves,
eductors and related piping accessories to assist
complete installation.

Original Fueling and Defueling Concepts

Gorman-Rupp engineers are continually working
with engineers and designers from oil companies,
tank fabricators, chassis builders and aircraft O4E, 06C, 06D & O8D Self-Priming
manufacturers, keeping abreast of changes and
demands within the industry. Heavy Duty Split-Shaft Pumps

Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps for
Split-Shaft Gear Box
Split-shaft gearbox design permits the
transmission of engine horsepower directly to
the pump. This arrangement provides positive
engagement – either move the vehicle or drive
the pump.
Combining this with midship mounting permits
installation between chassis frame members,
replacing part of the drive shaft between the
transmission and differential.
A heavy-duty gearbox with a continuous
rating of 6500 ft.-lbs. of torque comes standard
with 1800-Series Dana flanges, mounting cross
member and air shifter for smooth engaging and
disengaging pump from the vehicle cab.
