    Hi all

    I was wondering can you suck water through the smaller conenction on the back of the tanker?

    You could but the pump would be under pressure, why would you want to use that connection?

    You should adjust the little screw and "up" the rate of lubrication oil flow. Also, if using the tanker to wash down yards etc, when finished for the evening suck a cupfull of diesel up the pumps "exhaust" .
    A mechanic from a local Abbey dealer advised me to do this, he claims that the main cause of broken vanes/jammed pumps is from sucking loads of water, then if the tanker is left idle for a couple of weeks rust forms inside the pump, and jams or breakes a vane the next time its used.

    You can use it for that, you need to get a reinforced pipe and run the pump very slow. I have a pipe for that reason a neighbour has a tank that needs emptying once every 3 months and it can't be reached unless you drive on the lawn

    The pasture won't load for me,but I presume it's for a septic tank,but you can buy a pipe for septic tank for that has the same size connection head as a normal pipe for your slurry pit on to your tanker,see if I can find one online.
