Will this pump handle filtered used oils like motor oil &amp; Hydraulic?

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.

You can try it, but my guess is that it will jam up the pump pretty quick. I would suggest that you try it w/ the filter in there first to see how it goes.

No, but as long as the pump is DC powered and it is no more than 0-24 volts (max rated controller voltage) you should be good

Yes, I use the e2000 for powerstroke diesels. Works great for a inline pump.

This is a gasoline pump but diesel is less volatile and astringent so it will be fine. Just remember that these pumps are primarily for pressure and won't have a great deal of volume. The most important thing to remember is that gas is extremely flammable with sparks and you need to be mindful of your wiring and switch.

While we haven't had our oil sprayer long enough to need cleaning, we'll rinse it with warm soapy water, running some through the pump, rather than using the dishwasher. Not sure the pump would survive machine washing.

won't hurt, but most pumps come prelubed. just don't run it without water ever and oil.

Hi, no it doesn't need oil. It's a paper media filter. If you got a K&N; aftermarket filter that is cotton filter media, then yes, you would need oil.

I put used motor oil in mine to spray my vehicles, Fluid Film should work just fine in it.

Probably not. If cleaning it fixes it, I assume you mean cleaning the impeller, and it will work until it clogs up again, my guess is, based on the iformation you have prvided. The problem would be that the pump is not designed to pump what ever is clogging it. If it works after it is cleaned out the switch would be operative.

It will if you don't mind a current flow in the tank as it does move a lot of water. You can adjust the valves to decrease the amount of water it moves but I'm not sure if that will eventually damage the pump. Not sure if that will put added strain on it or not. It is a great filter system.

My experience was that this is not a very powerful pump. I used it to pump oil to a tank at a higher level and it quickly burned out. It comes with a screen to filter out debris but if the screen gets clogged it might over-stress the pump.

It should be able to be used in any systems that use a straight hydraulic or universal hydraulic oil. It does increase the viscosity which helps if pumps or seals are a little worn, but will not help major defects. Also be careful what percentage is used, especially if used in very cold weather - it can cause systems to be over pressurized. 5-10% should be OK. 10-20% use caution when cold.

The old pump that I replaced had to be filled. I filled it with oil but it still didn't work. The new had no place for oil and appears to be sealed. I have run it for 30+ hours and it is still working great. I still question if it could be filled but assume that it doesn't need oil out of the box.

I do not believe this system would work with oil!!! The pump and seals are designed to work with a heavy grease. I believe the oil would run out and spray everywhere. I don't have a solution to your problem at this time. It is very unusual for something that requires oil to have grease fittings. I would recommend that you try to find some old instructions for your machine and see if it had a different lubrication system or used a very light grease. This gun will pump almost any type or grade of grease, but I believe oil is just too thin!!!

I use this pump to move lite oil and it has worked fine for me. I guess it all depends on what your application is . Thanks Dan

I used it while it was full of oil. That should not make a difference. The saver only flushes the water out of the pump.
