1, Put the pump on top of the ibc and draw around the base of the pump with a marker pen. Allow a bit of extra space for the jubilee clip that secures the transfer hose to the outflow of the transfer pump.

2, Drill a hole on the marker pen line large enough to get the blade of a jig saw into the hole.

3, Use a jig saw to cut along the marker pen line.

4, remove the cut out piece of plastic.

5, Plop the transfer pump through the hole.

Thats what I did so I know what I mean  ;D
