In reassembly of my jdb331al2405 pump, the manual recomends diesel fuel. Are there any less odor alternatives. Starret precision lube(light mineral oil), 10w engine oil(nd or hd), stp, etc. Over the years(30+) of handling diesel fuel, it has come to bother me, and takes a day of washing my hands to get it off. My brother can spill a gallon on his clothes or whatever, and spend all day in them. Anyone else experience this?

There is injector oil that most shops use in place of regular diesel fuel. It has to be special ordered. It contains lanolin among other things and is easier on the hands. If regular diesel fuel is used and the pump sets for a while before being used , there is the possibility the pump will seize up.I used to keep several pumps rebuilt ahead and ready for exchange. Never had one to lock up using the injector C from Shell Oil. Last I knew, it came in barrels only. Not something the ordinary guy would want to have around.lol.So I would do as Bob suggests and use the surgical gloves and use the fuel you ordinarily burn in your tractor.You might try using some hand lotion that contains lanolin before putting on the gloves if your allergy is thet bad.

When I took diesel injection pumps in school, they had us assemble pumps with all parts submerged in clean diesel fuel to prevent oil from our skin damaging the various surfaces.

I agree, if this is the case, wearing surgical gloves should solve your problem.
