Bill,
I have been contemplating(with a friend of mine) buying a portable pump for
sugar syrup. Never would have thought of  using (what appears to be) a water
pump to pump syrup.
Is the Shur flow pump you are using just a standard inexpensive Shur flow
pump?
Sorry, I am not answering your question but am asking one!
Any response would be appreciated, including a very rough estimate of the
life and cost of the pump
Thanks much
John Horton
