W ARNING

This product should not be used for fluid transfer into aircraft. This
product is not suited for use with fluids for human consumption or
fluids containing water.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Fill-Rite Series BD310 products are positive displacement, rotary
vane pumps. Their rugged motors are explosion-proof and rain-proof
to ensure a long life of dependability.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Pump has a built-in check valve with pressure relief to prevent fluid
thermal expansion from causing unsafe system pressures.

Do NOT use additional check valves or foot valves unless

they have a proper pressure relief valve built into them.

Pumps are furnished with a tank adapter for tank mounting;
pedestals are available for island installations. All tanks must be
properly vented. Biodiesel compatible filters are recommended
when dispensing into vehicles.

Use oil resistant pipe sealant on all pipe threads to protect against
leaks.

Model BD310

CAUTION

Not for use with Gasoline, Diesel Fuel or Biodiesel less than B21.
Use the Fill-Rite® Series FR300 pump to dispense gasoline & the
Series FR310 pump to dispense diesel fuel.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure safe and efficient operation, it is essential to read and follow
each of these warnings and precautions.

1. Improper use or installation of this product can cause serious
bodily injury or death.

2. Do NOT smoke near pump or use pump near an open flame.
Fire could result.

3. Disconnect power to pump before servicing pump.

4. Take motors needing service to an authorized repair shop to
maintain “explosion-proof” and “rain-proof” integrity.

5. A biodiesel compatible filter should be used on pump outlet to
ensure that no foreign material is transferred to fuel tank.

6. The pump motor is equipped with thermal overload protection.
If overheated, it will shut itself off without any damage to the
windings. Turn off the pump power if this occurs. When the
motor cools, it will restart without warning if power is on.

7. Storage tank should be anchored to prevent tipping in both
the full and empty conditions.

8. To minimize static electricity build-up, keep nozzle in contact
with container being filled while filling container.

SKID TANK MOUNTING (See figure 1)

1. Cut a 1-1/2" pipe that will extend to at least 3" above bottom of
tank when screwed into tank adapter and tank adapter is
screwed into tank flange.

2. Screw pipe into tank adapter, then screw tank adapter into tank
flange.

3. Mount pump on tank adapter.

3. Remove coupler from pedestal pipe by loosening set screws.

4. Slip pedestal pipe/pump base assembly over suction pipe.

5. Loosen screws in pump base to allow pedestal pipe to slide
down exposing end of suction pipe.

6. Screw coupler onto suction pipe.

7. Slide pedestal pipe into coupler, tighten set screws. Tighten
screws in pump base.

8. Mount pump on coupler.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Install pump as described in Mechanical Installation Instructions.

Read and understand all the electrical wiring
instructions before proceeding.

Pump motor voltage is factory set at 115 VAC. See figure 4 to
change voltage setting.

2. Remove pump's electrical junction box cover and straighten the
wires to make the stripped wire ends accessible outside of the
junction box.

WARNING: AUX. WIRE IS LIVE WIRE (see figure 4). The AUX.
lead wire (brown) is insulated and enclosed when shipped. Do
not connect this wire without first verifying the 'ON' line voltage
of the wire for compatibility to the equipment to be installed.
Maximum amperage on wire is 1 ampere. The wire must be
insulated and enclosed in the junction box if not used.

should be used. Provisions must be made to break both legs of
any AC circuit. Connect like colored pump wires to supply wires.
Ground wire must be connected.

4. Fold wires into junction box and replace cover making sure that
gasket is in place. Make sure screws are seated so there is no
space between the cover and the junction box.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Reset meter to 0 (if applicable).

2. Remove nozzle from nozzle boot and move switch lever up. This

will turn the pump on.

3. Insert nozzle into container to be filled. To minimize static

electricity buildup, keep nozzle in contact with container while
dispensing fluid.

4. Operate nozzle lever to dispense fluid.

5. When desired amount of fluid has been dispensed, release

nozzle lever, remove nozzle from container, move switch lever
to down position to turn off pump, and replace nozzle in boot.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF PUMP FAILS TO PRIME:

• Check suction line for leaks or obstructions.

• Check bypass valve for dirt. The bypass poppet should slide

freely.

• Open nozzle to allow air to escape from system

PUMP WILL NOT START:

• If motor hums but will not start, a probable cause is a stuck

rotor. Remove rotor cover; check rotor and vanes for dirt.

• Have an electrician check the electrical power to the pump.

BIODIESEL NOTES

il or animal fat that has been processed to meet the requirements
f ASTM D 6751 standard. Only biodiesel that meets the ASTM

6751 standard are to be used with Fill-Rite S e rie s B D 310 pumps.
nprocessed or recycled vegetable oil are not biodiesel and are

ot to be us e d with th e F ill-Rite Se r ie s B D 310 p um ps.
iodiesel can be used as a pure fuel, but is often blended with

etroleum diesel fuel. When blended, the resulting fuel is known
y the percentage of biodiesel in the blend; ie. a 20% biodiesel
lend with 80% petroleum diesel is know as B20. Pure biodiesel is
100, also know as “Neat” biodiesel. Blends with 20% biodiesel or

ess (B1-B20) are generally treated like petroleum diesel fuel.

he F ill- R ite S e r ies BD 310 T ransfer Pumps are designed to
andle biodiesel blends of B21–B100 (21%-100% biodiesel).

sers who wish to dispense blends with lower concentrations of
iodie s e l (B1- B 2 0 ) s h o u ld us e th e F ill- R ite S e r ies FR310 fuel
umps.

emperature Limitations: B100 (100% biodiesel) that meets

han 40°F (4.4°C), the Fill-Rit e S e r ies BD 310 Transfer Pumps m ay

ot operate properly due to the thickness of the fluid. In some

ituations, tank manufactures may be able to supply tank and
ipeline heaters that are safe to use and can keep the temperature
f the B100 above 40°F.

leaning Properties of Biodiesel: Biodiesel has solvent properties

hat give it scrubbing and cleaning properties that tend to loosen
ust, varnish, and dirt in storage tanks, piping, and equipment. The
esulting debris can clog filters and screens, or damage

quipment. It is important to understand this and take precautions

o prevent problems wh en first using biodiesel.

helf Life of Biodiesel: It is recommend ed that biodiesel be used

f biodiesel is stored for longer periods.

or more information on biodiesel, go to www.biodiesel.org.

LOW PUMPING CAPACITY:

• Strainer screen clogged

• Bypass valve not seated properly

• Obstruction in suction lines.

• Make sure all 8 vanes slide easily in the rotor slots.
