pump lubrication

[turbobuick1035]

I have Razors Alky kit and i think i remember reading about just spaying a little WD-40 or something better if there in the tank alky tank to lubricate the pump?

 

[Razor]

Add nothing or else

Run it plain.. no additives..plez

how do you lubricate the pump then?

 

[Razor]

You dont.

You have this type of pump confused with like an inline EFI type pump that has steel rollers... The alcohol doesnt touch any metal surfaces. The first gen SMC kits required lubrication for the pump.

The motor has bearings.. but those dont touch alcohol..

Adding a lubricant may attack seals/rubbers in the pump. Now you know why I said better not
