I moved the diesel barrel to the new shop a week ago and now I want to wire it in the right way. I have it 'farmerized' right now with a plain wire coming out of a hole in the building but it will be done right in the end. There also will be a yard light pole in front of it with a dusk-dawn light up on top. I stuck a fence post in the hole so you can see where the pole will be. The plan is to have a disconnect attached to the outside of the building and flex conduit going from the disconnect to the barrel pump and a separate one to the pole. On the pole the flex conduit will go to a box with a 110 Volt plug for whatever. from the plug-in box a rigid conduit will go up the pole to the light. Another route would be flex conduit from the disconnect to the pole and then flex conduit from the pole to the pump. I like choice #1 better. One question; does the disconnect need to be fused? If so can it be fused right before it goes through the wall to the disconnect? Power will come from an outlet box inside the shop. This probably will never be inspected but I still want to have it up to snuff. Thanks. Jim
