They can handle thin and low viscosity liquids such as water and gasoline. They are not suitable for highly viscous fluids because higher viscosities prevent the blades from moving freely in the groove.
  
  Because they can handle a variety of viscosities, vane pumps are commonly used in gas stations, fuel transportation vehicles, solvents, alcohol, and even soft drinks and syrups.
  
  Vane pumps come in many different configurations and can also handle fluids with a wide temperature and pressure range. Because vane pumps are commonly used to pump clean hydrocarbons including gasoline and light oil, vane pumps are usually made of ductile iron casings and metal rotors. The blades are usually made of carbon, which has good lubricity to keep the blades sliding in the groove and cling to the inner surface of the shell.
  
  The type of fluid being processed plays a large role in whether the pump is suitable for a particular...    less
