4 Hp Pumps
4 Hp Pumps
With faster fill times during peak hours and power savings during non-peak hours, FE PETRO® 4 Hp variable speed submersible pumps deliver maximized profits while mitigating operating expenses.
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.
Variable Speed
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.
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.
MagShell®
The patented stainless steel MagShell® is designed to maximize your flow rate capabilities and your potential throughput and profits. By expanding the pump motor shell, the MagShell® increases the area for product flow by 45%.
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.
Fuel Compatiblity
FE PETRO® pumps are UL listed with both UL79A (up to 85% ethanol) and UL79B (up to 20% or 100% Biodiesel).
Turbine Pump Interface
Remote enhanced pump monitoring and control including pump-in-water automation, clogged intake escalation, tank leveling, and tank priority.
Variable Length
Be prepared for whatever the jobsite throws at you. Our patented telescoping pump shafts let you adjust onsite for that perfect fit.
With faster fill times during peak hours and power savings during non-peak hours, FE PETRO® 2 Hp and 4 Hp variable speed submersible pumping systems allow you to maximize profits while mitigating operating expenses.
CONVERT TO VARIABLE SPEEDHigher Flow Rates
The MagVFC™ variable speed controller ramps the STP up and down as-needed to provide optimal flow rates at all fueling points. The result is faster, more consistent flow rates than fixed speed systems at virtually the same cost of ownership.
Energy Efficient
Because a variable speed system is constantly providing only the necessary power to achieve desired flow rates, the system only consumes as much energy as is needed. Get energy savings during non-peak business hours and increased flow during peak hours.
Minimize Hydraulic Hammer
Hydraulic hammer is a sudden pressure spike resulting from a stoppage in flow that can be exaggerated in fixed speed pumping systems. A variable speed system significantly minimizes the effects of hydraulic hammer like accelerated wear on equipment.
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.
It’s always been about filling cars faster. Maximize your flow rate capabilities and your potential throughput and profits with our patented MagShell™. By expanding the pump motor shell, the MagShell™ increases the area for product flow by 45%.
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.
SEE TPI IN ACTIONPump 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.
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.

Standard Features
Variable Speed
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.
MagShell®
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%.
Variable Length
The patented telescoping pump shaft lets installers adjust the length of the pump onsite for the perfect fit.
Active Air Eliminator
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.
Safety and Ease of Maintenance
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.
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 syphon system or to remove the leak detector from the system to service the STP.
Manual Pressure Relief
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.
