is pvc pipe going to stand up to diesel fuel?
I'm trying to build adapters for a tank drain... pvc is easy. .. will fuel eat it up?

According to this chart
https://www.spilltech.com/wcsstore/SpillTechUSCatalogAssetStore/Attachment/documents/ccg/CBOOM.pdf It should be ok at room temp.

It seemed to stand up pretty well to my WMO concoction of WMO, gasoline and D2. I have some PVC pipes that have been coated in the oil mix for years and no adverse effects have been noted so far.

White PVC works with fuel.

HDPE is supposed to be a little soft when hot with Diesel. I've had no problems with it. So just because a chart says something doesn't always mean it's the case.
The best test is to soak a piece in Diesel for a few days in warm temps and see what you get.

Outdoor temps only, so it looks like there's no problems! Sweet! I was dreading paying for brass or even galvanized parts...

I've been using a piece of 3/4" Schd 80 CPVC as a dip tube on a transfer pump for D2 on the jobsite. I lost the original dip tube a few years ago, picked up a piece of scrap, cut some threads, screwed it in & joy. I never got around to switching it out (just lazy, I guess) & it's still working.
