Diesel Fuel Transfer Pump
 
Can an ordinary automobile 12V electrical gas pump be used as a diesel
transfer pump on a boat to transfer fuel from one tank to another?
Transfer rate is insignicant. Self-priming may be significant.

May depend on the pump. I used a rotary motor fuel pump to run the
differential oil to a cooler on my race car years ago. 90W oil is a lot
heavier than diesel.
