Dear All,
we are trying to pump 15 lpm odourless kerosene for continuous operation (hours at a time).
We have tried both 17 lpm and 30 lpm vane pumps designed for organic use (diesel, kero, light oils). In both cases the flow rate starts at a reasonably acceptable level (about 14 lpm) and drops over about 10 minutes to 2-5 lpm. It appears that the vanes are softening when pumping the kero, and we cannot get the flows we need.
Has anyone any experience in pumping kerosene
Thanks in advance,
TISM
