Title: Pumping water form ibc Tank
Post by: david68 on August 24, 2007, 07:53:37 pm

Hi all
What do you guys on here use to pump water from a IBC Tank (In garage) to your vechile .
Would you use a normal 100psi pump or an electric type pump?

I use a 400w electric pump with built in float switch, £20 from toolstation.
10m of lay flat hose for less than £15 from the same place.
