| In theory you can drive a pump with any engine. You have to match horsepower and speed.

| What the other guys are saying is important. The pump will
require a HP at a certain RPM. The HP requirement will go up
above that RPM, and the HP requirement, and thus GPM will
go down below that.

| How would you change the gearing on a diseal to compensate for the RPM difference

| So only worry about the HP I was worried about the RPM gas vs diseal
Thanks

| The RPM is very important, a diesel may not rev up
enough with the current gearing to pump well. As the
RPM goes up on a pump, the horsepower requirement increases dramatically!

| Can you, yes. Will it necessarily be that easy, no. I live in cranberry country and guys swap pumps and motors out all the time. BUT a certain size pump will only work with a certain HP rated motor. You may have to make an adapter plate to bolt everything up. The pump may/should have a plate on it saying what HP it requires.
