The Tuff Jug Electric Transfer Pump with Jug Adapter lets you move fluid out of a current-model Tuff Jug with one button, so you stop lifting and tipping a full utility jug to fill a tank. The kit pairs a battery jug pump with the Tuff Jug Pump Adapter, and Tuff Jug rates it at a max flow of 3.8 GPM with an automatic shutoff and audible beep when the receiving tank is full.
Install the adapter on your Tuff Jug, attach the pump and start dispensing. The electronic overflow sensor stops the pump before the tank overfills. Tuff Jug notes that if the receiving tank sits below the jug, a siphon can keep fluid moving after the pump shuts off, so keep an eye on the fill.

Fitment
Fits current-model Tuff Jugs. Tuff Jug states the pump will not fit older generation Tuff Jugs and the included Pump Adapter is not compatible with GEN2 Tuff Jugs. Check which jug model you have before ordering.
This is a universal jug accessory, not a vehicle-specific part: it fills any receiving tank the discharge hose can reach. Tuff Jug does not publish a separate fluid list for the pump, and fitment is not guaranteed on applications Tuff Jug does not list.
FAQ
Can I use this pump for gasoline, diesel or kerosene?
No. Tuff Jug does not rate this pump for fuel. Tuff Jug's jug pages state its jugs are classified as utility containers, not certified portable fuel containers under ARB, DOT or EPA, and must not be used for fuel or kerosene. Use it for water, oils, coolants, cleaning solutions and other non-fuel liquids.
How fast does the Tuff Jug pump flow?
Tuff Jug lists a max flow rate of 3.8 GPM on its spec sheet.
What powers the pump?
It runs on 4 AA batteries, which are not included. Tuff Jug's spec sheet also lists a 12V car accessory plug and 12V DC battery cables as power supply options. Tuff Jug rates a set of batteries at up to 250 gallons on its product page and up to 200 gallons on its spec sheet.
Will it fit my Tuff Jug?
It fits current-model Tuff Jugs. Tuff Jug states it will not fit older generation jugs, and the included Pump Adapter is not compatible with GEN2 Tuff Jugs.
Why does fluid keep flowing after the pump stops?
If the receiving tank sits lower than the jug, a siphon can keep fluid moving after the automatic shutoff. Keep the jug level with or below the tank opening, or lift the hose out when the beep sounds.
How is this different from a hand-pour Tuff Jug spout?
A spout or cap still means lifting and tipping the jug. This jug pump leaves the jug on the ground and moves fluid with one button, with an overflow shutoff the pour spout does not have.
Why Tuff Jug
Tuff Jug builds its jugs as a complete system with matching caps, spouts and accessories, and this pump is designed to connect straight to a current-model Tuff Jug through its own adapter. You get a jug pump from the same brand as the jug, backed by a 1 year limited warranty.
Complete Your Tuff Jug Transfer Pump Setup
Before you order the Tuff Jug Electric Transfer Pump, confirm your jugs are the current model and not GEN2. Pair it with a current Tuff Jug utility container, a spout bender for hand pours, and a set of AA batteries so the pump is ready when you unload at camp or the track.
