Include

[RoGrrr]

I use a piece of garden hose with an adaptor to go to a piece of 1 inch PVC. On the PVC, I placed a coupler, which I filed out the web so I can slide it up to the top of the tube. Then I slide an O-Ring (what fits over the tubing) all the way up to the adaptor.

The garden hose then goes to the pump (I use a 6.5 HP engine driven pump from Horrible Fright) and when I light it up, it REALLY SUCKS ! I can pump 100 gallons in about 10 minutes. Then I can GET OUTTA DODGE !

The reason for the adaptor and o-rings is that when you withdraw the pipe from the tank, it’s covered with oil. I then slide the adaptor down to the end of the pick-up tubing. The O-Ring acts as a squeegee, getting most of the oil off so you won’t have to wipe it off to clean it. You’ll still have some to wipe but it isn’t as nasty as wiping your butt.

Have a spare O-Ring or THREE. The reason for having spare O-Rings is that you’re gonna drop one into the holding tank. And don’t ax me how I know this. Fortunately, I had a spare ring. (even tho I REALLY didn’t need it, since I didn’t drop that first one into the tank. Tha’ssss my story and I stickin’ too itt !)

The garden hose is stiff enough that it won’t collapse from your 12 volt pump. I have one of them too so I have that experience. I used it when I couldn’t get my truck in to make the pickup. I wheeled in a small tank and used my battery pump.
