(Add a valve) There's still about 55 gallons in the tank so I hope that will last a while longer. I'll probably see you at the legion.<br />tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-62327665761743177202012-09-07T13:14:13.141-05:002012-09-07T13:14:13.141-05:00David,

I can do it two ways with the tank and that is that I have a large submersible fountain pump that moves a lot of water fast, but doesn't have a high head. Should still do the trick though. If that doesn't completely do it then I can just switch a hose and use the SureFlow pump to transfer the rest. (Its fairly slow though) I couldn't have used the fountain pump on the drums because it wouldn't fit through the openings in the drums.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-5769106388110152502012-09-06T10:35:42.532-05:002012-09-06T10:35:42.532-05:00Seems like a decent price for the tank and it look...Seems like a decent price for the tank and it looks easy to plumb up.
