Electric Drum Pump for DEF Transfer
The Dayton 6GKR3 is an electric drum pump rated at 115V AC with a 1 HP motor operating on 50/60 Hz power. It includes a 96-inch discharge hose, a 39-inch suction tube and a 16-foot cord with a NEMA 5-15-P plug. The unit comes with a bung adapter and features automatic nozzle operation plus thermal protection.
Upgrade from Manual or Lower-Capacity Pumps
This pump replaces hand-operated or gravity-fed dispensing methods for diesel exhaust fluid. The jump is worth it when you need up to 7 gpm flow and 32 psi head pressure for faster, consistent transfer. Variable speed control lets you match output to the container size. It is not for buyers who need higher flow rates or compatibility with fluids outside the 9142 DEF pump package specification.
Straightforward Installation with Common Pitfalls
Setup involves securing the bung adapter, inserting the suction tube and plugging into a standard 115V outlet. The pump runs dry without damage, reducing priming concerns. Common issues include kinking the 3/4-inch ID hose, exceeding the 32 psi pressure limit or operating outside the rated voltage range. Thermal protection will shut the motor down if it overheats.

Questions about this item
What size bung opening does the 1 5/8 in suction tube fit?
The 1 5/8 in outer diameter suction tube fits standard 2 in NPT bung openings and the included bung adapter secures it in the drum.
How do I wire the pump for 115 V AC and what step is often missed?
Plug the NEMA 5-15-P cord into a grounded 115 V AC outlet; the step often missed is ensuring the circuit can supply the 1 HP motor without tripping the thermal protection.
When should the 96 in discharge hose be replaced?
Replace the hose if you see cracks, hardening or leaks at the fittings; inspect it each time you change fluids and swap it at the first sign of wear.
