Is this pump ok to use with diesel?

Yes, I use the e2000 for powerstroke diesels. Works great for a inline pump.

I am not sure. I used my for gasoline. Since gasoline is more volatile, I cannot see why it could not pump diesel fuel. Contact Airtex for their recommendation. They have a great support staff. When diagnosing the fuel pump in my 2003 Ford E450 RV, I needed to know the pin locations on the fuel pump connector. Wiring diagrams only go so far. Airtex was able to supply that information.

I don't know about that, my car isn't diesel. Sorry. It is a GREAT produce for regular gas powered cars, I do know that!

If it is not adjusted correctly for the type of fuel you use it could. Might doesn't. I use kerosene . Diesel probably do it more

This unit 85250 will NOT work on a diesel.You would need Edge number 85200.Please feel free to give me a call if you need more information.Thanks,Davemonster performance870-580-0940

I use it for diesel but there should be no reason why you couldn't use it for Gasoline.

Yes, you can use diesel, however the manufacturer recommends using Kerosene 1. It can shorten the lifespan of the product and requires much more maintenance.

I use diesel in mine with no issues, second season of use. Just followed cleaning instructions after first season.

this can be used on the 7.3 diesel if the only reason why it wouldn't work would be due to pressure.... the 7.3 turbo diesel doesn't use an injection pump and furthermore you are looking for about 60 psi at idle. but to get the most accurate reading it should be tested under load. Not everyone that doesn't have a degree in Diesel mechanics should post about stuff they don't know....

I have used this hose with gasoline-works fine. I don't know about use with diesel.

I don't see why not. The hoses should hold up. It has a rotary pump, so that is unaffected. You may have to change the filter more often because, in my mind, diesel fuel is "dirtier". No big deal as long as you can get to it to change it. Remember it is alow pressure pump and in supercold weather the fuel may wax, and the pump becomes non-functional until the temps go up.

My husband said his boat has a Diesel engine and it worked fine for him.He has a Willard and is very happy withthe Racor.

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.

I've only used the pump once so far and it seemed fine pumping plain water. I don't know how exactly it works but I know the instructions say don't run it dry. Real heavy oil might just cause it to work too hard, overheat and burn out. It should work fine with thin oil.

No! Its not meant for fuel to run through it. Like others have said it will read poorly at the lower pressures normal vehicles run at. I actually had an Oriley employee suggest doing the same on my F350 diesel. Lets just say I bought a tester there, had him do it and promptly refund my money as it didnt work as he thought ;-)

Have not tried that. Depending on where the hydraulic oil inlet is placed, that could run the pump dry and ruin it.

Refer to your owners Manuel. Newer diesels require a special oil because of the urea injection into your exhaust. If you don't use recommended oil you will ruin this system.

This is a low pressure gauge, can only be used on the transfer or upload pump of a diesel engine which is 4 to 7 psi.This is the pump that transfers fuel from the tank to the fuel filter and to the high pressure pump.I have it on my 6.5 td and it works fine.
