Red Jacket Pumps in East Africa: Powering
Reliable Fuel Dispensing Systems
Introduction
As the fuel and energy sector continues to grow across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda,
Burundi, Sudan, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), the demand
for efficient and reliable fuel dispensing systems has never been greater. One of the most trusted
components in modern fuel station infrastructure is the Red Jacket Pump, a high-performance
submersible turbine pump designed to ensure consistent fuel flow from underground storage
tanks to dispensers.
At Exstream Energy Solutions, we supply, install, and support fuel system equipment across
East Africa, including Red Jacket Pumps that help fuel stations, commercial facilities, and
industrial fuel users operate efficiently and reliably.
What Are Red Jacket Pumps?
Red Jacket Pumps are submersible turbine pumps (STPs) installed inside underground fuel
storage tanks. Their primary function is to move fuel from the storage tank to fuel dispensers at
the required pressure and flow rate.
Unlike suction systems, Red Jacket Pumps push fuel directly to the dispenser, resulting in faster
fuel delivery, improved efficiency, and reliable performance.
For fuel stations across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, Somalia, and
DR Congo, Red Jacket Pumps have become a preferred solution due to their proven reliability
and operational efficiency.
How Red Jacket Pumps Work
A Red Jacket Pump is installed within the underground storage tank and operates below the fuel
level. When activated, the pump pushes fuel through the piping network to dispensers,
maintaining consistent pressure throughout the system.
This design offers several advantages:
- Faster fuel dispensing
- Reduced risk of vapor lock
- Improved fuel flow over longer distances
- Consistent dispenser performance
Exstream Energy Solutions helps clients across East Africa select the right pump configuration
based on site requirements and fuel demand.
