About Fill-Rite: Over 60 Years of Fuel Transfer Excellence

When professionals in agriculture, construction, fleet management, and industrial operations need to move fuel reliably and accurately, Fill-Rite is the name they trust. Fill-Rite has been an industry-leading manufacturer of fuel transfer equipment for more than six decades, earning a reputation for rugged durability, precise metering, and American craftsmanship. Headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the company has been designing and building its iconic red pumps at that same facility for over 60 years.

Fill-Rite's origins trace back to Ossian Engineering Company, which was acquired and reorganized as Tuthill Transfer Systems in 1961 — the same year the Fill-Rite brand was formally introduced. The brand quickly became synonymous with dependable rotary vane pump technology and accurate fuel metering. In 2022, Fill-Rite and its sister brand Sotera became part of The Gorman-Rupp Company, a publicly traded industrial pump manufacturer with a legacy of its own dating back to 1933. This acquisition united two pioneering flow-control businesses with a combined history of more than 150 years of industry leadership.

What Fill-Rite Makes

At the heart of the Fill-Rite lineup are its fuel transfer units — a broad family of pumps available in AC electric, DC electric, and manual hand-operated configurations. Whether you need a 12V DC pump running off a truck battery to top off equipment in a remote field, a high-volume AC pump for a stationary above-ground tank, or a rugged hand-operated unit for low-volume transfer without access to power, Fill-Rite offers a solution engineered for the job. Models like the 700 Series feature cast-iron construction and rotary vane technology for dependable peak performance, while the NX25 Series continuous-duty pumps are built for nonstop commercial operation.

A complete fueling setup requires more than just a pump, and Fill-Rite delivers on every component. The brand's fuel transfer hoses and fuel hoses are purpose-built accessories designed to work seamlessly with Fill-Rite pump systems, ensuring safe, leak-free fluid conveyance from tank to equipment. Alongside hoses, Fill-Rite offers nozzles, meters, swivels, filters, and adapters — everything needed to assemble a complete, efficient fueling station on a farm, job site, or fleet yard.

Trusted Across Industries

Fill-Rite products serve a wide range of essential industries, including agriculture, construction, fleet management, municipalities, logging, and mining. Their pumps are compatible with gasoline, diesel, biodiesel blends (up to B20), ethanol blends (up to E15), and a variety of other petroleum products — making them versatile partners for nearly any fueling application. The brand's commitment to quality and technological advancement, now reinforced by Gorman-Rupp's engineering resources and global distribution network, ensures that Fill-Rite remains a benchmark in fuel transfer technology for years to come.
