Title: Pumping from IBC
Post by: Pittmonkey on August 04, 2008, 05:11:12 pm

Will a sub pump fit into the opening of the IBC. or will you need to cut an opening in the top of IBC to lower the pump inside. Not sure of any of the Dia spec for the pumps so if anyone does this already any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Wayne

I use the same one and so far its lasted me 19months wth no problems, if your going to use the lay flat, then get the yellow one and not the blue one, it will last you twice as long.
