Anyone tried to use a fuelpump to pump water or oil instead of boring fuel??

me and a firend want build a semi homemade water2air ic

i have a walbro pump -->brand new (NOBODY want buy it), which i want use.

the fluid will be cooled from a oilcooler (bmw bike)

can it pump water?
can i pump 0w40 oil------>oil cools better



and pls

for gods sake
ITS NOT A AIRTOWATERINTERCOOLER IS USELESS THREAT!!!!!!!!!

 

i dont know man water is corrosive and the oil might work i dont know i thick that ---- is but the same ---- is fuel came from oil so i dont see why not. people use fuel lines for ghetto oil lines for turbos so just try it

 

0w40

is like water LOL
ive filled up my dads turbo diesel one time

JEZZZZZ that thing pissed oil out everywhere^^

 

wont work, the gerotor is mild steel. It'll rust, and the oil is too thick, it will overheat. Harbor freight has a sidewalk sale october 2-4th, man up and og buy a real water pump.

 

i don't think you need a 100 psi fuel pump for a water/oil pump in a a/w inter cooler set up. water might damage the pump (corrosion) and oil would be to thick and might not even pump it. you should look into a bilge pump from a boat supply house. i hear they are cheep and work well for what you need to do. use the fuel pump to pump fuel in your setup. and use water/coolant in the system not oil.

good luck on your project.

 

yeah i forgot about blige pumps that wouls be exactly what you need people use them for cheap oil return setups where the turbo is to low to use gravity to drian

 

*news time*

found (stole LOL ) a electrical water pump from Mercedes 3.0 engine on the yunkard
Flow around 100litre per hour ---------> should be enough ;-)

threat can be closed

 

thats an intersting setup. good luck!

 

did u try this yet

 

although he didnt try the idea. i think it could be done if you had enough coolant in your water. coolant is anti corrosive so i bet it would work
