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.
