Overview of Davey's Floodfighter engine water pump
When water threatens to overwhelm, you need more than just tools; you also need confidence. The Floodfighter engine water pump by Davey is a self-priming portable unit suitable for emergencies and daily use. Its heavy-duty centrifugal design, cast iron impeller, and marine-grade aluminium casing provide tough strength without adding complexity. Whether draining flood water, operating a farm irrigation system, or emptying a tank on a tractor site, the Floodfighter® is designed for purposeful water transfer with excellent flexibility.
Its adaptability makes it ideal for flood recovery, septic tank pumping, irrigation, and large-scale dewatering operations.

This combination of rugged engineering design and user-friendly operation assures that the pump is more than simply a piece of equipment, but a dependable companion for professionals in agriculture, construction, and emergency services.
Pump variation: flexible models suit different needs
Pumping requirements differ widely. That is why the Floodfighter® is available in two practical variations:
| Model No. | Inlet/ Outlet | Fuel Type | Engine Capacity (cc) | Engine |
| G8016 | 3” BSP | Petrol | 196 | Honda GX200 & Frame |
| G8016E | 3” BSP | Petrol | 196 | Honda GX200 Electric Start & Frame |
Both options are placed on a powder-coated steel roll frame with anti-vibration fittings to ensure endurance in harsh conditions. The electric start is suitable for rapid deployment, but the recoil start type offers a simple mechanical option that does not require external power.
The Floodfighter® truly is about performance flexibility. With a maximum head of 32m and a suction lift of 7 m, the device is well-suited for lengthy suction runs in flooded regions or agricultural irrigation systems. Whether you need transport for high-flow flood water or to ensure consistent water transfer in agriculture, there is a model to suit your needs.
This clarity simplifies the process: choose your favourite start technique, and you will be outfitted with a fuel-efficient pump that combines power, portability, and endurance.
Model identification for Floodfighter pump
The Floodfighter® naming system is simple yet effective for installers, consultants, and service specialists.
Understanding the code ensures that the appropriate pump is chosen, maintained, or re-ordered without misunderstanding.
- “G” refers to the gusher pump series, which is noted for its centrifugal hydraulic performance and high flow transfer.
- The number “80” signifies the 3-inch (80mm) inlet and output port size, critical for high-capacity water circulation.
- The following digit of “16” refers to the engine frame and specification, corresponding to the Honda GX200 petrol engine.
- The suffix “E” signifies electric start versions, whereas the absence of “E” indicates a recoil start design.
For example, G8016E indicates a Floodfighter® centrifugal pump with 3-inch connections, driven by a Honda GX200, and equipped with electric start and recoil backup. This methodical approach saves time regardless of ordering, maintaining, or integrating into bigger fuel transfer pump systems on farms, building sites, or firefighting facilities.
Practical accessories: suction strainer, hoses, and fittings for complete versatility
To increase adaptability, the Floodfighter® may be combined with useful additional features.
A suction strainer keeps large debris from entering the pump, saving the impeller and mechanical seals from harm. Additional hoses expand the pump’s reach, allowing it to draw in or release water from greater distances, ideal for irrigated fields or flooded basements.
Quality fittings provide airtight connections, essential for maintaining strong priming and avoiding performance loss. These attachments make the Floodfighter® a completely customisable system capable of a wide range of applications. By adding the proper accessories, customers may improve efficiency, decrease downtime, and prolong the pump’s service life in harsh settings.
Portable protection roll frame for easy handling and stability
Every Floodfighter® comes with a powder-coated steel roll frame that includes anti-vibration mounts. This rigid structure protects the pump from impact damage and makes it simple to move over rough terrain. Operators may confidently lift, load, and secure the pump, knowing that no key components will be damaged.
During emergency flood operations, the frame’s stability maintains the unit stable during high-flow pumping. It absorbs vibration, reducing wear on farms and construction sites. The Floodfighter’s compact yet sturdy roll frame transforms it into a portable and dependable instrument for routine and emergency water operations.
Honda GX200 petrol power for reliable engine performance
The Floodfighter® is powered by the Honda GX200 petrol engine, well-known for its dependability throughout sectors. Its cast iron cylinder sleeve can resist severe use, and a dual-stage air filter assures clean combustion in dusty conditions.
The low oil protection mechanism protects the engine from internal harm by immediately shutting it down if lubrication fails. With a fuel consumption of just 1.7 litres per hour at full load, it balances power and economy, making it excellent for irrigation, dewatering, and flood relief. Smooth starting, constant torque, and global compliance with EPA and CARB standards ensure confidence in every deployment.
