Will this pump be compatiable with the 10% of alcohol in todays fuels?

We've been using our pump for over 6 months without a problem. My understanding is any current pump is expected to be exposed to E-10 and is built accordingly. Our experience is that E-10 still will leach rubber quicker that recreational (non-ethanol fuel) will but what choice do we have? Hope this helps. Kim

I use it in a set up as a lift pump on my duramax diesel and it works great for that.

I don't recall anything specific with the instructions saying anything one way or the other. I've been running mine since purchase (close to a year) on the 10% blend, and so far, so good. You may want to shoot an email to Carter and see what they say.

Not a problem as long as the water level is 10 inches or so above the intake!

That fuel has such a high content of ethanol, that I question how many cars are really set up to run it without long term negative effects. Even 10% ethanol blends are extremely hygroscopic.

This item is only compatible with the smaller fuel units...The larger green propane gas cylinders will not work.

Yes, with a caveat. The pump will burn out due to the extra volume of coolant being moved through the new system. I would not suggest modifying this as it was created to continuously move a specific volume of coolant thus diminishing its reliability.

Yes it works well with most fluids. Have used with water,gas,and diesel fuel.

Used it in a 1932 Ford fuel tank and have had no problems. This product is designed for newer fuels.

E10 refers to gasoline with 10% ethanol. That's what you find at typical gas pumps. You can also use gasoline with less or no ethanol. Just don't use E85 (85% ethanol).

NO. Beside, in CA, you can't get any gas that doesn't have "up to" 10% ethanol.

The pump is not rated for non-water base solvents and will probably self destruct. Most solvents are aggressive on silicone and rubber so the pump will likely have a short life unless it has Viton seals which are more resistant to solvents(fuels). I'm in the process of modifying mine to use solvent by retrofitting it with a cheap Airtex marine fuel pump, a 12v transformer, a Derale Oil Filter mount and a 10gal drum with a removable top to create a safe filtered solvent system. The drum stores any solvent while the cleaner is not in use. It is much safer than a basin full of what is effectively fuel. This is particularly important to me as I do metal fabrication in my garage. The pump is not rated for non-water base solvents and will probably self destruct.

Yes should be more than enough I fully cycled my 10 gallon using a little less of a 1/4 of the 2oz container

That's all I use and haven't had any issues. I make sure to use fresh fuel (89 octane-mid grade) and treat with startron for storage. I'm sure the fuel system is ethanol safe as are all IC engines and fuel systems made today. If you have easy access to non oxygenated fuel, of course that would be preferable.

This pump is approved by Bosch for pump fuel which is E10 (the normal stuff). A fairly large number of folks have and continue to run this pump with E85 without issue, but like I said its not approved for it by the manufacture. If you want you can call Bosch and ask.

Yes-- but no more than 10% ethanol. Additionally, even 10 % ethanol has a tendency to ruin any rubber hoses, carburetor diaphragms, etc. I personally use non ethanol gas in all my small engines. Hope this helps.

No.... would not run a 10000 either, but it does great with an 8000, just turn it on maximum cold so the compressor does not cycle and it will do just fine. Very reliable for a year and a half using it at my camp on weekends. Use non ethanol gas and change the oil.

Thank you for your question. The Niagara and Baron pumps can be used to transfer Diesel Fuel. Although we do not believe there would be a problem with transferring gasoline neither pump has been tested or approved to transfer gasoline. We DO NOT recommend using the pump for gasoline.

I run a 50 to 1 mix of Amsoil Saber Synthetic oil and 'Fresh' Hess Premium gasoline (which contains 10% ethanol) in everything from a 35 year old Mac-10 chainsaw, a pair of 8 year old Echo string trimmers and my Husqvarna 580 without a a problem.
