Don't think the Clarke pump will be up to it either.

A Mono will really be your best bet.  By the time you've gone through several pumps at 70 -80 quid a pop you'd have covered the cost of one.

I have a search continuously running on ebay, if one comes up I'll give you a shout, but there's been nothing for months.

you got a bot running all the time on search Julian? if so what ya using?

I think those have the same/similar internals as your vane pump at the top of the thread.

It's just a function of ebay.  You can make a search, save it and get ebay to email you notifications daily.

that macerator one looks interesting, but that £58 one above could be good if it is German made and not a chinese import.

Have you seen Mikes wiper motor rotary pump

yeah, i have a rotary pump, but i also have about 600L to move at a time, from and to different drums, at different heights so would be a bit of a ballache.

although i did toy with fitting one to a drill....

i think the german one may be my next try, but yeah, that macerator looks interesting

all depends on what the vendor says tomorrow.
