Can I pour regular diesel fuel into it?

I believe you need higher quality diesel fuel. The guage on the fuel is cheap plastic and broke within the firt two times using. Now the fuel leaks when you move it. My opinion this is junk. I wish you read my review before buying. The thermometer guages heat immediately around unit, without fan in back unit turns off and on way too often. Unit should have a choice of 25,000 50,000 or 75,000 btu's. I should have bought used at garage sale. J.W.

Yes, buoyancy of the float remain the same at different fuel rates. Internal electronics are safe with diesel also.

Yes. The yellow can is the correct color coded can for diesel fuel. I have used these cans for years and they are far superior to the cheaper plastic cans. Easier to use and less spills.

I don't know, but they say that no aditives should be put into the fuel pror to using the funnel. I have my doubts that I will work with a gas mixture, because the oil acts like an aditive.

No, don't believe it can be used, as the fuel pressure is much higher for a diesel.

No! Its not meant for fuel to run through it. Like others have said it will read poorly at the lower pressures normal vehicles run at. I actually had an Oriley employee suggest doing the same on my F350 diesel. Lets just say I bought a tester there, had him do it and promptly refund my money as it didnt work as he thought ;-)

I'm not sure. The stuff I bought works very well but was designed for it. My friend had one that used diesel so my guess is that yes, probably need an oil based product, if water based you would make steam...right?

Sorry, but I couldn't find any info about this pump and diesel fuel. Suggest you contact Carter for further information.

I don't see why not. The hoses should hold up. It has a rotary pump, so that is unaffected. You may have to change the filter more often because, in my mind, diesel fuel is "dirtier". No big deal as long as you can get to it to change it. Remember it is alow pressure pump and in supercold weather the fuel may wax, and the pump becomes non-functional until the temps go up.

No!!! It extends the life of the injectors by adding lubrication to a very dry ( low sulphur ) # 2 diesel fuel sold today in the USA.

Yes. It is labeled for use with kerosene or high quality diesel fuel. I have not tried diesel fuel. Performs very well on kerosene. Joe M.

I would not recommend this for that use. Even if not a high pressure system, the integrity would not be what is required for a fuel system.

You can,and it should remain reasonably safe. But I would get a normal gas can as its safer and can help prevent dangerous leaks. Its also safer to pour. Though if you want to put gasoline inside make sure its tightly sealed and take care not to damage the bottle. aluminum doesn't give Sparks either.

No you can't put real fuel in the tank. I use traxxas top fuel it last longer I hope I answered your question

I use mine for kerosene so I don't see a problem using diesel fuel. I think the thickness of the hydraulic fluid would be a factor as it may not pump as well. ATF would probably work fine but i would wonder about heavier fluids. Temperature would also be a factor.

Yes it will store regular gas, as well as diesel, unleaded and lite oils of any type. Its a great thing to have and a great price too.

Not sure what you mean but im pretty sure you could store and pump any fluid in here (non edible). I use it for standard gas.
