[QUOTE="timbrjackrussel, post: 813881, member: 8524"] You sure can, been using ATF for 14 years . Use a fine stainless pickup filter on pump suction in bottom of tank. Best to have tank above pump intake so there is no chance of cavitation. Use a large intake hose on pump that won't collapse. I use 1 inch. Put on a return line filter 10 micron and make certain return oil enters tank under oil level so as not to get air mixed in it. Put a magnetic plug on tank to get any supended magnetic junk. Start with a clean tank.I use Automatic Transmission Fluid with a 16GPM 2 stage pump ,10 Horse Honda, inverted 20Lb.propane tank for reservoir, 4.5 inch cylinder 2 inch rod. I left valve on inverted tank to allow draining of water or dirt.Make certain pickup filter has a suction bypass and return filter base has a 15 lb. bypass if it plugs. Change return filter after first few hours then after about 50 hours. Don't use any galvanized fittings , it can flake off. [/QUOTE]
