another silly question.
 

so at work we have this epresso machine and it has a little hydraulic pump in it.
i think its rated at 10-15 bars. well drinking my coffie i was wondering if anyone has ever used a pump out of one of those machine to run a hydraulic r/c model?

Re: another silly question.
 

I wonder if the shaft seal would be compatible with hydraulic oil?

It's about the same size, as that furnace oil pump, that I bought.
