FuelPump: Water/Oil instead Fuel
Anyone tried to use a fuelpump to pump water or oil instead of boring fuel??;D
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!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes: |
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
|
im pretty sure water definitely cools a ---- of a lot better than oil. oil only lubricated due to the adhesion to what it encounters, just be a pro and go to Academy and get a 500GPH pump in the boat section for 20 bucks like i did for my W/A intercooler.
|
On our race MR2 we used a rubber impeller type compact water pump for the water to air intercooler. Was cheap from princess auto, and works great! never had an issue.
|
I pumped oil with a Walbro fuel pump and it only lasted for about a week...lol

Here in Australia Davies Craig make a proper electric water pump they are available worldwide and not that expensive just google davies craig
