Default Fuel transfer/polishing pump

Invalid statement. In one case you are talking about lubrication oil,
in the other your are talking about fuel. A diesel will run quite a
long time without changing the oil just a s gas engine will.

Not much difference between diesel and oil.

Perhaps, but there is a world of difference between the tolerances of a

fuel
injector pump and an oil pump.


True. But that's a red herring since it's not usually the oil pump that
wears out due to dirty lubricating oil.


Not quite. A 350 Chevy engine will run for a long time, years maybe, with

dirty
oil.
A diesel injection pump and/or injectors with dirty fuel will not.
