hi chaps, major headache this winter with so many tanks having water and contaminants in bottom of 'em - the recent cold snap meant frozen oil lines etc etc...I have a hand sludge pump but looking for recommendations for a decent 240 v supply pump for this purpose ....typically 100 or so litres to dispose of into 20 litre drums... cheers
 
We got one few months ago had enough of hand pumping!
Got what I think was described as tank installers kit from fueldump.co.uk we went for 110v pump for safety in bad weather but 240v and 12v were available around £300
Complete with all hoses filters ect . No problems so far
