This may be a stupid question (forgive me....I'm stupid about these things) but can you run a 12v fuel pump from 240v by connecting the wiring to a suitable plug-in transformer?
I've been trawling fleabay and the web and 240v pumps are a lot more expensive than 12v and usually much bigger than I'd need.
I want to build a sort of parts washer, I say 'sort of' as it's not actually for washing parts but would work in a similar manner. Basically I need a pump to circulate white spirit over a silicone mould continually for several days. It's to be an alternative to my usual method of complete submersion which I can use when the mould is too big to be submerged.
Are small fuel transfer type pumps like this ok for continuous use?
Any advice gratefully received.
