Speak To An Expert

We Set the Standard

FE PETRO® brand submersible pumping systems set the standard by which all other fuel pumping systems are measured. With best-in-class flow rates and backed by a long history of dependability, FE PETRO® pumps are responsible for delivering fuel to thousands of customers around the globe, day in and day out.

Dependability & Reliability

A pump has to be reliable, it has to be safe, and it has to perform. That's why thousands of station owners around the world have trusted FE PETRO® pumps and the Franklin Electric motors that drive them to keep their business flowing for over 25 years.

The Performance Leader

Unique features like variable speed technology and the MagShell™ design found only on FE PETRO® pumps deliver the industry’s best-in-class flow rates.

Safe Servicing

The rock-solid design of FE PETRO® pumps has remained virtually unchanged since day one, meaning we can, and still do, service our pumps installed since 1988 with maintenance safeguard features and full backward compatibility.

Technical Advantages

Fuel Compatiblity

FE PETRO® pumps are UL listed with both UL79A (up to 85% ethanol) and UL79B (up to 20% or 100% Biodiesel).

Advanced Protection

Stop corrosion in its tracks. Special powder-coated, e-coated, and stainless steel components defend your pump and the entire fuel system from accelerated corrosion.

Turbine Pump Interface

Remote enhanced pump monitoring and control including pump-in-water automation, clogged intake escalation, tank leveling, and tank priority.

Intake Filter Screen

Avoid system damage, pumping slowdowns, and reduce filter changes by keeping harmful tank debris, sediment, and corrosion from entering your pumping system.

Variable Length

Be prepared for whatever the jobsite throws at you. Our patented telescoping pump shafts let you adjust onsite for that perfect fit.

Advanced Protection

Available as an option on AG compatible submersible turbine pumps, Advanced Protection defends STPs from accelerated corrosion caused by the acedic byproduct of microbial activity.

Powder-coated and E-coated finishes protect exterior cast surfaces from accelerated corrosion.
Advanced Protection is a factory installed option on STPAG and IST biofuel compatible models.
Stainless steel fasteners, riser, variable length column pipe and coupler protect against corrosion and provide long service life.

Turbine Pumb Interface

Turbine Pump Interface is a powerful tool that creates a network between your FE PETRO® STP controllers and EVO™ Series ATGs. Through TPI, the tank gauge can be programmed to respond to faults in the submersible pumping system and react with intelligence that pump controllers alone cannot.

Pump In Water Automation

When the water level in a tank approaches the pump intake, the tank gauge will enter alarm mode and automatically shut down the pump, protecting the system and customer vehicles.

Leveling & Priority Modes

When managing two storage tanks of the same product ‘Leveling Mode’ can keep both tanks at the same percentage full without the use of a syphon bar between the two tanks.

Remote Pump Interaction

By networking the intelligent controllers to the fuel management system via TPI, a technician can remotely connect to the site to review the logged event history and view the status.

Filter Fuel Without Sacrificing Performance

An Intake Filter Screen (IFS) provides fuel filtration for the entire system down to about the size of a grain of sand (0.009” openings). It’s designed to keep harmful debris, sediment, and tank corrosion from entering the pumping system and creating service events including dispenser filter changes.

Intake Filter Screens

Stop debris from entering the pumping system and causing system damage or slowdowns. The output performance of the pump is maintained to that of the standard end bell while only adding about 1” to the overall length.
An IFS self-cleans itself, so you don’t have to worry about pulling the pump to clean it. When the pump turns off, the slight back-flush of product caused by the check valve closing pushes any debris off the face of the filter.
An IFS can be easily retrofit installed on existing FE PETRO® submersible pumps as well as competitive 4” pumps. You can also have it factory-installed on any new submersible pump.

Optional Features

With faster fill times during peak hours and power savings during non-peak hours, variable speed submersible pumping systems allow you to maximize profits with consistent flow rates while mitigating operating expenses.
FE PETRO® pumps are UL listed with both UL79A (up to 85% Ethanol) and UL79B (up to 20% or 100% Biodiesel).
Stop corrosion in its tracks. Special powder-coated, e-coated, and stainless steel components defend your pump in the tank and in the sump from accelerated corrosion.
Remote enhanced pump monitoring and control including pump-in-water automation, clogged intake escalation, tank leveling, and tank priority.
Avoid system damage, pumping slowdowns, and reduce filter changes by keeping harmful tank debris, sediment, and corrosion from entering the pumping system with this factory-installed option.

Standard Features

The patented stainless steel MagShell® is designed to maximize flow rate capabilities, potential throughput, and profits. By expanding the pump motor shell, the MagShell® increases the area for product flow by 45%.
The patented telescoping pump shaft lets installers adjust the length of the pump onsite for the perfect fit.
FE PETRO® STPs come standard with active air elimination, which eliminates air through the highest point in the pump head at all times when the pump is running, assuring air does not pass into discharge piping.
FE PETRO® STPs include a contractor electrical disconnect, which requires loosening only one bolt, allowing motor wiring to be disconnected without venting the dangerous tank vapors into the sump when servicing FE PETRO® submersible products.
If ever required, the pump can be easily removed from the tank by unthreading three bolts. There is no need to disconnect the syphon system or to remove the leak detector from the system to service the STP.
As a standard FE PETRO® feature, a vent screw is provided to bleed line pressure to zero when necessary. By turning this screw, product is diverted back to the tank, dropping line pressure to zero. This reduces fuel discharged into the sump manhole or dispenser pan during servicing, further protecting service technicians and the environment.
FE PETRO® STPs are powered by the legendary Franklin Electric motor and built for long term performance. Franklin Electric-powered submersible pumps provide maximum uptime and a proven track record in the fueling industry that spans more than four decades. They feature best-in-class flow rates and a long history of dependability.
Franklin Fueling Systems is an ISO 9001 Certified Manufacturer.
