Those small portable gas engine powered pumps (and pretty decent CFM in a big hose/pipe) arent too expensive buttttttttttt look at its cost versus if you will ever use it again or look at the rental cost if this is a one time project or maybe you already own one?????
The smaller CFM electric pumps (kinda like a sump pump) arent too expensive (MUCH cheaper then a gas) but thats gonna take a much longer time (depends on CFM) to pump a lot of volume...
Id say it depends on what you already own???????The rental cost of a gas unit??????? If you can buy a cheap electric or a more expensive gas powered BUT IS IT ANY USE TO YOU IN YEARS TO COME???
I just cant say sittin here, too many unknowns, cost,,,,,,,,how much use in future,,,,,,,,,CFM,,,,,,Total gallons,,,,,,,,rental cost,,,,,,,,,BUTTTTT a cheap electric sump pump type wont set you back much

I think Id run to the local rental shop and rent a big gas powered pump n be done with it, an electrric powered AC pump would do the trick also, is there AC power close by????

So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
