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
