Anybody had any experience good or bad, with a chep transfer pump?* My son (I still love him) pumped about 10 gallons of water into one of my diesel tanks recently.
I took a fitting off the top of the tank and using a borrowed pump pushed the tube down to the bottom of the tank and pumped until I got clean diesel.* Then I ran the engine for about two hours and watched my racor super close.* It picked up a little water, but not much.
I'm thinking of making a super simple portable polishing system using an ebay pump I found for about $70 and a used Racor 500 I have to turn the fuel uel over 8 or 10 times.*
The tank seems clean, but I'm worried about the fuel.
Is it OK to buy a cheap pump here, you think?* I'm not expecting real long life out of it.
