Pump? - River Song - 31 May 2013
I looking for a kind of pump that can suck.
I.e. suck water out of a tank and petrol out of a tank in a garage when there's no power to their pumps. Any ideas?

Ok my pumped arrived this morning its a neat plastic bodied pump with soft fit end caps and a single stage pump handle . Total length is only about 10 inches when closed and about 3 inches wide if you include the spigots.
It comes complete with 2 x50 inch fuel transfer red hoses and one black one for using in conjunction with supplied adaptors for inflating air beds or bicycle tyres.
It comes in a plastic shrink wrap semi rigid packet which is probably OK for storing in a garage, but if you intend on keeping this kit in your vehicle its probably going to be safer if you repack it into something a bit more solid like a plastic box.
Made by marksman but its a fair asumption its of Chinese make because of the spelling mistakes on the instructions ( Liguid not Liquid). As a back up fuel transfer pump its worth the six quid, but I think if it was needed for more frequent operation we would be better buying a steel bodied pump with rotary handle from some place like Machine Mart. 10 Browny points to Moss Trooper and the same to RS for raising this issue.

I was thinking more post TU when there's no power to the petrol pump and the
guys have gone sick anyway and the station is devoid od persons.
Then I was wondering on going to the forecourt and lifting the tank covers and .....................
