I am referring to what we call 28% liquid nitrogen. This pump is a
centrifugal pump powered by a five horse engine. I was not sure that
this type of pump could move HFCS seeing that it is so thick.

Does this pump need to be brass? I was thinking of a gear drive
hydraulic oil pump. These pumps will pump fairly thick oil.
