pvc for diesel?
pvc for diesel?
(OP)
I am an electrical looking for some info. I am building a test fixture which consists of two tanks and a pump between them. Will PVC be sufficient to plumb the two tanks and pump together provided that the liquid will be diesel fuel? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

As a plant engineer I would not let a rental, test, or demonstration unit with such construction in the facility.

If this is a classed installation note that classification requires steel pipes for flammable liquids.
Note also that class forbids threaded connections for pipes carrying flammable liquids.
Even though it is sometimes possible to do otherwise in installations without classification we should not forget that most of the time class rules are based on long experience and safe practice.
Good luck.
