4" Submersible Turbine Pumps

Since the mid 1950s, FE Petro’s parent company, Franklin Electric, has been involved in the design and manufacture of submersible motors for use in pumping motor liquids. Building on this extensive history, FE Petro has contributed innovative product designs for submersible pumps throughout the 1990s, and into the 21st Century. Marketers concerned about fueling times, efficiency, serviceability, reliability and overall quality find it an easy choice to specify FE Petro. Consider these unique FE Petro features to improve the profitability of your retail operations.

Design Highlights/Advantages

  • Faster Fueling Times - With innovations like MagShell™, FE Petro sets the standard for submersible pump performance. FE Petro turbines fuel cars faster during peak business hours due to higher pump performance. One reason your customers will keep coming back.

  • Active Air Eliminator - FE Petro comes standard with active air elimination, which eliminates air through the highest point in the pump head at all times when the pump is running. High point air elimination assures air does not pass into discharge piping avoiding various issues related to air in the piping system. Active air elimination insures air is removed at all times without requiring any outside intervention.

  • Safety & Ease in Maintenance - FE Petro STP’s include a contractor electrical disconnect, which requires loosening of only (1) bolt. This feature allows motor wiring to be disconnected without venting the dangerous tank vapors into the sump when servicing the FE Petro submersible.

  • Simple Servicing - If ever required, the pump can be easily removed from the tank by unthreading three bolts, there is no need to disconnect the siphon system, or remove the leak detector from the system to service the STP, reducing the risk of correcting one problem and causing another.
  • Manual Pressure Relief - A standard FE Petro feature. When necessary during maintenance to bleed line pressure to zero, a vent screw is provided. By turning this screw, product is diverted back to the tank, dropping line pressure to zero, Reducing fuel discharged into the sump manhole or dispenser pan during servicing, further protecting service technicians and the environment.

  • Reliable Check Valve - The STP uses FE Petro’s proven line check valve. At 2-3/4” (70mm) in diameter, this valve reduces pressure loss at high flow rates, resulting in faster fueling times. FE Petro check valve is proven to seal. You can avoid purchasing additional check valves when the STP is used with some popular electronic line leak detectors because of this proven reliability.

  • Variable Length - One pump fi ts 94% of all known tank diameters and tank bury depths combinations. Two other model lengths are available to handle installations shorter or longer than this range. The telescoping connection is patented by FE Petro. Pump length is set at the job site by making one simple measurement and setting the pump length. All in about 20 minutes and without affecting the UL listing of the pump.
