Engine Driven Davey Firefighter® Pumps
You will find Davey Firefighter pumps available from Electel.
The Davey Firefighter is best known for its reliability in fire protection and prevention, but did you know it is one of the highest selling pumps for water transfer too?
Not only can Davey single and twin stage Firefighters be used for fire prevention and protection, but their ability to move large volumes of water is second to none. They are used for water transfer just as much as they are used in a bushfire situation. They are built tough, built in Australia, and can handle tough Aussie conditions.
Davey Firefighter – Get ready with the BEST
A fire plan is the first step to ensuring you are on the way to being bushfire ready. The second step is to ensure you, your equipment, and your home are protected. You need an engine powered pump for both asset protection including post-fire management of burning fences, surrounding vegetation, and other structures like buildings.

1. Know the machine: Ensure all members of the household know how to locate and operate attachments like inlet and outlet hoses to the fire pump.
2. Fuel - Petrol: Petrol has a limited life and can become ‘stale’. Change the fuel every two months by running the pump or draining it of fuel. Better still, use a fuel stabiliser which will dramatically extend the life of the fuel (must be added when new fuel is purchased).
3. Fuel-diesel: Has a longer shelf life but generally needs to be stored at low ambient temperatures. Expect diesel fuel to last 12 months or longer at an ambient temperature of 20°C or six months at an ambient temperature of 30°C.
4. Engine oils: Engine manufacturers offer their own branded engine oils to best suit their engines. Synthetic multi-grade engine oil is NOT a suitable alternative. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s engine lubrication recommendations.
5. Run the engine regularly to ensure oil is well distributed around the moving parts. This provides the best lubrication and a longer working life.
6. Ensure your pump set has adequate clean air access: Check and replace the air cleaner or filter per engine manufacturer recommendations.
7. Keep the engine cool: Ideally, protect the pump from radiant heat in a flameproof enclosure or add a mist spray around the pump or its enclosure to aid cooling and humidify the air.
8. General maintenance regime: Regular checks will ensure fuel lines are in good condition and the recoil starter works. A regular service schedule is invaluable.
9. Check the plumbing: Investigate and maintain the water system.
10. Check for leaves, debris, and sticks that can impede the inlet system. For permanent installations, a foot valve and strainer at the end of the suction line can overcome obstructions.
11. Checked for air leaks and that all gaskets and seals are in good order.
12. An underground ring main installed around your property with durable hydrant or standpipe outlets can give you much greater coverage.
13. Practice: A well-rehearsed and documented fire plan is critical to personal survival.
As the summer fire season approaches, the traditional motto of ‘be prepared’ applies. Establish your fire plan early by adequately briefing and training all family members in its resources and features.
Finally, ensure that all your fire protection equipment from a Davey Firefighter pump, to your hoses and nozzles, are well maintained and able to operate without delay.
