Made in the U.S.A

My transfer pump an old GPI model 100 finally bit the dust. I bought it years ago from a guy that had it for years and he bought from a Farmer that also used it for years. It is old enough that there was no information found on it and I do not know when they stopped making that model. The motor does not sound like full speed but everything else checked out ok. So the shopping began and it arrived yesterday and the box label is appropriate for the 4th of july.

Made in Wisconson

Hopefully your newer model lasts you as long as your old one. We ran Fill Rite pumps for years with great luck. When the price started going up on them our company switched over to the GPI pumps. We have not been so lucky with these pumps.

I hope it lasts to. Where I use to work we seemed to change out a lot of Fill Rites. So what kind of GPI failures have been happening ?. There really is not a lot with these pumps, 2 rotor's (as I call them), a high pressure relief, the motor and of course the on/off switch. The motor it would seem to be the most prone.

Most of the failures have been with the on/off switch and the motors. We solved the switch problem by zip tying the levers up so they are always on. We wired an on/off switch in the cabs so no more pump switches have burned up. We haven’t figured out why the motors quit yet. There’s never any signs of melted or burnt wires or anything shorted out. They just quit out of the blue. Also, when it gets real cold out, the Fill Rites pump faster than the GPI’s.
