I an to old to pickup fuel cans anymore. I need to be able to pump diesel from the cans on the ground into my farm tractor. can this pump do it?

It can, but it's not particularly fast. If you are not in a rush this pump is for you! ;)

Some pumps are built for fuel also, I am pretty sure this is just strictly oils. I believe it says water can't go through it either. It does work great, but I have only used it for oils.

We have the same question since it is galvanized. The diesel fuel will not be stored in the. Can for long. When purchbased.

this can be used on the 7.3 diesel if the only reason why it wouldn't work would be due to pressure.... the 7.3 turbo diesel doesn't use an injection pump and furthermore you are looking for about 60 psi at idle. but to get the most accurate reading it should be tested under load. Not everyone that doesn't have a degree in Diesel mechanics should post about stuff they don't know....

Mine is bolted into the bed of my pickup truck, that I drive everyday. It is full of diesel most of the time also. No problems either.

Look for a Ford Super Duty parts truck, the pump is under the hood on the right side. Just cut the pig tail off and use that.

No it will not work for that purpose at all. Its best use is to transfer from gas can to gas can. Maybe a large farm gas tank but wont work on lawn mowers, cars, snow mobiles, etc. Intake hose is not flexable fairly ridged and only about 18 inches long. Diameter is to large for standard hole in most cars built today.

Probably not. The experience I have is that the mud and leaves will clog the impeller and the pump will get hot and you may damage the pump. You need a trash pump.

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

Not sure of that. I would check with the manufacturer. I would think it would handle hydraulic oil as it is a similar viscosity to fuel oil not sure about motor oil.

It should, I haven't tried it with diesel, but in my research I found one user who reported that his worked excellently with diesel fuel. He used it as a transfer pump from a bed mounted tank to the normally used stock tank.

You certainly can't use it to feed fuel from the diesel tank to the engine. You could use it to fill the fuel tank from a can or a larger tank, though.

I ' m useing to pump aviation fuel and as U know aviation fuel is a lot hotter than diesel , so should B ok

I am not sure. I used my for gasoline. Since gasoline is more volatile, I cannot see why it could not pump diesel fuel. Contact Airtex for their recommendation. They have a great support staff. When diagnosing the fuel pump in my 2003 Ford E450 RV, I needed to know the pin locations on the fuel pump connector. Wiring diagrams only go so far. Airtex was able to supply that information.

It should work since the tank can hold the air up to 150psi. However, considering the size of the tractor tire and the compressor's tank size (1.5Gallon), it will take pretty long to pump the tire and the motor will need to run without rest for ample amount of time. My answer is that this compressor can do the job you want but the job (pumping tractor tire) may make the compressor's life shorter than it meant to be. If you are not in a hurry and can take enough time to do the job, this one should be fine otherwise you need larger one.

NO...this pump is for light weight oils like diesel...you will need another type of pump for gas.

I woul think so. The pump works on suction. It is cheap chinse poorly manufactured, and needs some work to make it functional. The pickup tube needs to be sealed, I used epoxy. The pump housing needs to be air tight, use a torqwrench to tighten the bolts evenly(important - evenly), also the gasket may be defective - I used 100% clear silicone sealant as a replacment gasket. After I applied the above fixes, it worked just fine. Good luck!
