I need to suck the water out of the bottom of my pontoon boat fuel tank. It is mounted in the transom so siphoning won't work unless I take it out of the water, which is a major PITA. The bottom of fuel tank rides at the water line, no way to get a collection vessel lower than that. I would like to pull the water off the bottom of the tank into a container, I need about 4' of lift and 8' of horizontal run. I don't have a compressor at the dock to do the air suction trick with a piece of hose. Further, my compressor is 240V and I only have 120 available at the dock.
I looked at some gasoline-rated transfer pumps on the AMZ but holy cow are they expensive! $100 - $200 is a lot of dough for a once a year or so tool.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a external or internal battery-powered pump at a reasonable cost (+/-$50) for this? As said above, I also have 120VAC available if needed. Or any other suggestions to get this done fairly easily and cleanly? Thanks in advance.
