FBSGF Gas Engine Driven Self-Priming Pump

Technical Product Description:

The Franklin Electric FBSGF Gas Engine Driven Self-Priming Pump is a heavy-duty, engine-driven self-priming pump designed for dependable liquid transfer in field conditions where electric power is unavailable or impractical. Franklin Electric states that the FBSGF Series is an ideal choice for water transfer applications and temporary irrigation, placing it within its engine-driven pump lineup for portable and jobsite use.  

The series is built around a rugged self-priming pump design with cast iron construction. Additional Franklin-related product documentation describes a cast iron volute with tapped openings for priming, venting, and draining, along with a semi-open cast iron impeller designed with a blind hole for engine shaft protection. That same documentation also lists a mechanical seal with carbon/ceramic faces, FKM elastomers, and 300-series stainless steel components.  

Franklin product listings show that the FBSGF Series is offered in multiple engine and size configurations. For example, the FBSGF-8H is listed with an 118 cc engine and a 200°F temperature rating, while the FBSGF-10 is listed with a 205 cc engine and the same 200°F temperature rating. Additional seller listings show models such as the FBSGF-12H with a Honda GX270 9 HP engine, 3” x 3” suction/discharge, and self-priming contractor-style liquid transfer capability, confirming that final engine, connection size, and performance depend on the exact model selected.  

Depending on model, the FBSGF Series may be equipped with Briggs & Stratton, Honda, or Kohler gasoline engines and adjustable throttle controls, and it is intended for horizontal mounting. With its rugged cast iron pump end, self-priming capability, and engine-driven portability, the FBSGF Series is a practical option for contractors, irrigation users, and general field water transfer service.
