Yep, tank refueling is what they are used for.

Would that not change if a motor is used? The tube could have a
dameter of say 1/2" and this would transport quite a bit of etchant in
a short tim - no? I can imagine that such a pump could do but then I
don't have experience with pumps. It just apealed me because they seem
to be easy to build and - based on their principle of operation they
of course also would resist the etchant.
