I have two Vane Groco Diesel fuel transfer pumps. One is moving fuel well from tank A to B. The second one is not. The pumps are little over a year old and only been use a few times to move 100 gallon each time.
A good friend suggested putting an oz of motor oil or so in the pump head to help get better suction...I asked Groco and said sure that might help get it flowing.
Anyone have this issue and possible solutions as it seems when the pump sits for a few months unused this happens. And why would one work fine and other (mirror image setups on on the port and strb have issue and the other not?
