Abstract
The fuel transfer pump is a combination suction and pressure pump in a manifold above the fuel storage tank. The fuel transfer pump is contained within a manifold. The pump is liquid cooled (more specifically, fuel cooled) and is located in a manifold above the fuel storage tank and not submerged inside the tank. The fuel transfer pump draws (using suction) the fuel up from the bottom of the tank though the pipe column into the manifold and then under pressure pumps it to one or more fueling dispensers.
