I am wanting a 110 volt transfer pump to pump diesel fuel to fill my tractor and to empty a half full 275 fuel oil tank. I have a couple of hydraulic pumps. Would they work for this application. I would drive them with a 1/2 hp motor.
 
They will pump diesel, but diesel doesn't have much at all of lube properties to protect your hydraulic pump. Add 2 or 3 quarts of ATF to the fuel, then the pump will get lubed, PLUS the added ATF is better for your injection pumps. I add at least one quart for every hundred gallons of diesel for injection pump lubricant.

So, my tractor calls for low sulfur fuel. Will this up the sulfur content? Also, what’s left in the fuel oil tank is for a fuel oil furnace.. I want to empty it to move it from the basement to outside, then pump the fuel oil back into it for heat.
