Contact some pump suppliers with your request, or do some basic research using the same devices that brought you here.

Viscosity, specific gravity, temperature, and many other properties you don't seem to know will determine the proper pump characteristics you need.

You may want to solicit professional help, instead of a casual forum.

Try this. You young whipper-snappers have it so easy with this internet/Google thing (if you'd just learn to use it). We used to have to get the book off the shelf.
