    I hvae heard Facet pumps should do it, I don't fit them to diesels myself but they are great for petrol systems. Only 1 moving part. Beware of chinese copies.

    I have run a facet on a 300 tdi on vegi oil and diesel, and it worked fine. I run a drill through the pump inline filter so there is less restriction and appears to allow the pump to flow better. I still run the sedimenter and main filter. They are a push type pump so closer to the tank the better. $90.00 last one i bought from super cheap.

    closer to the supply tank and preferabley as low as you can get them...

    they dont provide much suction so dont give much lift height but they will "push" a long way.


    dont forget to link the breathers of the 2 tanks so that you dont burst the lines/tank/fittings/cap.

    Also mount them to a hard point, as they rattle like a banshee if not solidly mounted. As previously mentioned they dont like Drawing but can push with nill issues from the end of a wagon to the front so you should have no issues transfering between tanks. Just for info. I used to have an old cruiser with twin tanks, worked out range for non guaged one, ( 300ks) and just switched over by 3 way ball valve. nil electric involved worked ok for me.
