Some people never bother to read the full post lol

And my unit is full, theres no room to move anything!!

And it wasnt the roof, it was the monsoon we had the other day creating a puddle bigger than the red sea out the front which poured in!!

I like it, a mini hippo pump. did you have to suck on it to prime it through?
About 15 years ago, when I was young & naive, I used a washer pump to drain my nova 1.2 fuel tank so I could stick a new level sender in. The damned thing had 8 gallons in it & the pump got too hot to hold, but it worked.....I would not recommend it
