What is a FO transfer pump?

A FO transfer pump, or fuel oil transfer pump, is a type of pump specifically designed for transferring fuel oil from one location to another, such as from storage tanks to machinery or heating systems. These pumps are typically used in industrial, marine, or commercial applications where efficient and safe handling of fuel oil is crucial. They can be powered by various means, including electricity or diesel engines, and are built to withstand the corrosive properties of fuel oil. Their design often includes features to prevent leaks and ensure safe operation during the transfer process.
