"Did You Know?"
Decoding a GPI and GPRO Fuel Pump Model Number
Ever looked at a pump model number and wondered what all those letters and numbers really mean? You’re not alone, but here’s the good news: those model numbers are actually designed to tell a story.
With just a quick glance, you can learn a lot about a GPI or GPRO fuel pump’s features, capabilities, and configuration.
What Can You Learn from a Model Number?
GPI and GPRO fuel pump model numbers are more than just identifiers; they serve as a built-in guide to the product. Here’s what can be recognized:
- Pump Series – Identifies the product family or design type
- Pump Style – Whether it’s a gear pump or vane pump
- Flow Rate – The pump’s designed performance
- Voltage Type
- DC (for vehicles like trucks or cars)
- AC (for fixed electrical installations)
- Dual voltage options (field configurable) -- Power Flexibility Made Simple – Some pumps offer the flexibility to operate on multiple voltages.
For example: Configurable for 115V (60Hz) or 230V (50Hz or 60Hz). This makes it easier to adapt equipment to different environments without needing a completely new pump.
Nozzles, Connections, and More
Model numbers also reveal important details about how GPI and GPRO fuel pumps are equipped:
Nozzle Type
- Manual or automatic
- Spout Diameter (leaded, unleaded or diesel)
Note: All GPI/GPRO fuel nozzles are compatible with gasoline or diesel.
Pump Configuration
- Pump only (no nozzle included)
- Pump with integrated meter (like M30 or QM40)
Connection Sizes
- ¾” or 1” NPT
- ¾” or 1” BSPP
Built for Specialized Applications
Some model numbers even indicate special features, such as:
- Extreme temperature capability (down to -40°F / -40°C)
- Included filter kits
- Pump and meter combinations for easy monitoring
Bottom Line
A GPI and GPRO fuel pump model number isn’t just a label, it’s a quick-reference guide packed with useful information. Next time you see one, take a closer look, you might already have all the details you need right in front of you!
