Something with twin diesels would probably be 24v!
Or return the pump for a 12v.
Otherwise, it takes 3-4 starter solenoids, and a spdt switch. You'd need to be able to isolate the ground of battery #2, use the relays to reverse it's polarity when the switch is in the opposite position,, then switch back to make it parallel to battery #1 for usual operation.
I did it once 35 years ago to run an aircraft starter motor as a winch on a 1/2t Dodge WC Panel. It worked.
