You might remember this original thread, which prompted a lot of discussion...
http://forums.iboats.com/forum/othe...transfer-pump-for-about-60-00?_=1454673181470
I got down to Stuart, FL a week ago and started draining the old fuel out of my 16-footer. I don't know why the pump setup worked so much better on the boat than it did at home, but I filled a 6-gallon can in less than 20 minutes. That gives it a flow rate about double the 10 gph I saw when I tested it at home.
When I 'bench tested' it originally at home, I had plugged it in to a 5-amp converter (110V to 12V), and I measured a 4-amp draw from the 2 pumps. On the boat I plugged it into my portable jump starter. I dunno if or why that would make a difference, but the little pumps were cranking along pretty well.
Just wanted to share. Thanks.
