Heard a guy at the fuel dock say he runs his pump at 80% max RPM
I was grabbing diesel in Portland yesterday and overheard a captain talking to his deckhand. He said he never runs his pump wide open anymore, keeps it around 80% of the max RPM on the gauge. I always thought you had to push it hard to move material. Tried it this morning on a sand bar and the wear on the impeller looked way better after four hours. Anyone else run their pumps slower for longer life?

My pump probably thinks I'm a real jerk for running it flat out all the time.
