pusher pumps

guys.

i have a 2 tank system in my hilux. 3x 20 ltr poly drums in the tray, which is gravity fed to the front. so far this has worked ok.
just recently tho i have had a few hiccups with air in the system, probably caused by me trying out new things with the fuel supply lines, and it has caused me NO end of greif.
i now want to put in a pusher pump, wired directly from the pollack valve, placed near the WVO tanks, so that everytime i change a filter or do something with the supply lines, i can bleed the sysstem better, also to help out the IP.
what i am asking now is, who has one and what type of pump is it? i have heard all about walpro pumps, but, i see that most are high powered pumps and push a lot of fuel thru, i dont wish to overload the ip with too much pressure, just in case the seals cant handle it, and i dont want to plumb in anything extra, like surge tanks etc.

i have seen on ebay, some pumps that may handle the oil, but how much pressure is too much?

would something like a 4/6 psi pump as shown work ok?

any advise please..

cheers H1K
