Today we headed out to pump with the engine and attempt to draft some water. Kevin Gibney met us at the farm and we headed out to a pond in Fawn Grove to set it up for drafting. I recently purchased two sections of used 6 inch lightweight hard suction. We got everything setup and I crossed my fingers as I pushed the primer handle. We waited while the 37 and a half year old former city engine started pulling water. Within 30 seconds the old bulldog started pulling water. We discharged the water out the 2 1/2 inch nozzle I purchased in Allentown. We were able to easily flow 265 GPM and had it up to 600 GPM.
Sweet! Nice to get that checked off the still-works list.
