hi have things changed or do you still need to cut a hole in a ibc tank or a baffled tank to fit the transfer pump in or are pumps smaller now and do baffles get in the way of the pump seems a shame to buy a tank and cut it apart thanks

dave if you have a small lidded tank then it will need to be cut, if large hole then a wickes transfer pump drops straight in, I use this and have not cut my tank, many ibc have the smaller whole, if so just cut a slice into it and seal it after.

You can still get ibc tanks for about forty quid - why pay £200?

I use a Lidl suction pump that sits outside my tank these days.
