This is the one I use, and I use the 1" 1/4 transfer hose.

I think that B&Q are now selling this pump for a few quid cheaper so might be worth having a look  :D

If that pump is poor take it back

I would use a wickes one cost £39.99 last time i looked this is what I use, fills 650l in about 10 mins or less
 had 2 from b&q one lasted a few days the other an hour, this was classed as a booster pump I think but the casing is so shocking it splits when 4040 pressure backs up to full pressure  ::)

I dont need anything great its just so that I dont have to carry the containers around the side of the house, instead I can throw the hose over and fill up at the car.
