Will a fuel pump pump oil?
Had an idea and before i spend any cash I was just wondering if anyone knows whether an inline electric fuel pump will pump oil through with any reasonable pressure?
Exhaust Guru
No. The oil is too thick, the pump will be working too hard and burn out. Also, a fuel pump is a higher pressure than an oil pump. An oil pump works on volume not pressure.

Mod a power steering pump? I have heard of people in the states using a holley red to scavange oil in the use of rear mounted turbo setup's. You need something with steel mesh gears, nothing plastic...
Oil on the tyres for burnouts? lol

If a VY has trouble ripping it up, it needs a new driver...and if this mod was seriously for that purpose then there is something very wrong with you!

You're gettin close to the mark, of course the vy will drop good burnouts but imagine the rubber you'd save with a bit of lube and the extra smoke? It's ok I'm mad as a march hare, just toyin with the idea. lol
Haha don't toy too much! Things tend to go wrong very quickly.. lol

Yeah I hear you man, I think I've got too much free time on my mind sometimes!! If I ever get something like this going though, I'll post some pics of it in action.
For external use only
You'd be better off with a large jerrycan, four second hand windscreen washer pumps and a few lengths of window washer line

Anyone say write off? LoL
When I had paddock bashing cars on the farm, I had an oil squirting windscreen washer bottle set up on a VB, it worked very well.......................................once.
A wiper motor will pump enough armour all on the tyres to kill yourself pretty fast if that's what you want to do and it sounds like it. It really would be safer to just get more poweryou could buy a VN V6 for the price of a pump and a can on armourall and be done with it:P
Want to save rubber? Don't do burnouts. You are an idiot.
