I just bought a bench automobile fuel pump tester.
On its manual says to use Testing Oil to ISO 4113.

I am not familiar with this product or where to get it.

The propose of this machine is to test mostly correct pressure and detect licking problems on the complete fuel pump modules before installing it into the fuel tank.

My question is if I can use any other kind of product besides the one is recommended? Any other mix ? Some not falmmable.

I thank you in advance for your cooperation.

P.S. Any information where to get any of your options as answer will be highly welcomed.

google turns up some hits for ISO 4113. Had you tried that already?

Seria ISO 4113 Fuel Pump Test Oil (PUM)
This is a low viscosity water white mineral oil specially prepared as a reference fluid for diesel injection testing equipment. A fluid such as Seria Fuel Pump Test Oil is produced to very close specification limits, which are essential for accurate and consistent results in test equipment. It is not possible to perform these testing procedures with diesel fuels that can vary considerably in viscosity and density, even if purchased from the same source. In addition, diesel fuel is not recommended for this work because of the fire hazard and associated health and safety legislation.


 
Two sources I have used, Castrol Calibration Oil 4113, or CAT Calibration Fluid 6V6068 (5 gallons). CAT used to package from 1 gallon to 55 gallon containers, Castrol we could only get in 5 gallon containers.
