diesel fuel lubrication March 13, 2009 04:14AM
I have stuck a few plungers in my p-pump and wondering if there was a good lubricant for the fuel. I have tried lucas, standadyne, and hydralic fluid. I have heard of people using tranny oil. Is there a tranny oil that works best?? Type atf, type f, atf plus?? Any other suggestions. Thanks for the time and help and thanks for the ad space!!!

biodiesel at 5% is better than any commercial product according to several tests

might also check all of your pressure settings,have heard of some pressures that are to high that might cause the plungers to stick. Make sure that everything is big enough to handle your fuel load( lines, injectors)

we have also stuck plungers on pumps that scheid built. do not like the way they do their plumgers,they do not have a luberication groove in them. I will not run their pumps, but they have verry good injectors.
