I have been condsidering one of those so I can get extended run time without refueling. I can run my gas one for 14-16+ hrs at WOT. Empty gas tank. Unhook gas line. Get a 5-6 gallon gas tank that has a bottom outlet. I took an old outboard tank (steel) and welded on a fitting at the bottom with a small ball valve. Place the tank on a 5 gallon bucket next to the pump. Connect the external tank to the pump, fill with gas and fire it up. The regular outboard tanks with the fitting on the top will work - for a while. The pumps sip gas, and eventually a bit of air will work into the line causing the pump to starve for fuel. I fought it for over a month trying different things before I swapped external tanks and the problem was solved. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
