	I have a client that needs to pump SHELLSOL D60 for test stand. It has a .763 specific gravity at 15.6 C and a 61.1 C flash point. Conditions are 18 USGPM at 1050 PSI and 75 USGPM at 170 PSI. We are a pump supplier but have nothing for this application. Location: Detroit, MI USA. Thanks, Joe T. __________________ Inga Binga Bunga Banga Boonga Binga Buuuunnnnga

	It probably wants a hazardous area motor, just to be on the safe side. Looks like about 17kW. __________________ Essex jobs for Essex yobs! <Burp>.

	Diaphragm pumps have been used to pump nitroglycerine, so you may wish to concider the following pumps:- 18/1050 -One x D35 Hydra-Cell Pump from Wanner Engineering, Inc. 75/170 - Two x H800 Wilden Pumps.

	When I worked for a company that made control valves I sent a sample toggle switch to a customer who wanted to pump nitroglycerin, I never heard from him again & often wonder what happened. We also had a stainless valve returned because the PTFE seals had degraded, the customer was pumping boiling radioactive nitric acid!!! It was the radioactivity that killed the PTFE. __________________ I didn't have a really important life, but at least it's been funny (Lemmy Kilminster 1945-2015)

	Google "Metering Pumps" SS Diaphragm likely. __________________ If it eats, it's going to be trouble!

	Last I checked this is what you would call charcoal lighter fluid. Typ use double mechanical seal, Cl1 Gr D div 1 motor. Any major pump mfg could provide.

	High pressure fuel pumps are common for oil-fired boilers. Maybe you look up Danfoss Fuel Pumps . They might be carrying a pump for your application. __________________ I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow. Woodrow Wilson
