A Suntec fuel pump supplies diesel or light oil to burner nozzles at a regulated pressure.
Suntec makes many models. Therefore, send the model code from your old pump.
What is a Suntec fuel pump?
A burner fuel pump is a small gear pump driven by the burner motor. It draws diesel or light oil from the tank and delivers it to the nozzle at a regulated pressure, while a built-in solenoid or valve cuts the fuel at shutdown.
Suntec is a well-known maker of burner pumps, and RBL is a common burner series. Because pumps differ in rotation, pressure range and connections, the model code on the old pump is the best way to match a replacement.
