Pat. - I use a Wayne submersible sump pump and it came with a garden hose adapter and it is 110v. Have used it for the last two years and has saved me lots of work. Have pumped from barrels on my Son's trailer through a hundred feet of hose to my storage barrels at the Sugar Shack. Also picked up a 12' hose and pump from my storage barrels to my feed tank. Quick and easy to use - hardest part is draining hoses when done. ------Mike------
I was looking for the same thing years ago. My brother pointed me to home brewing supply houses. You can get food grade pumps, both self priming and non priming pumps and you can get them that will handle hot liquid as well. They were not too outragious in price and have worked well.
good luck!

Thanks Flat. The price is right and they are all food grade. At first I thought you were joking with the name of the web site. Good luck this year. Lee

I was thinking about using a regular bilge pump. I've seen a few others using them. Anything I should be looking for when I purchase one? I'll be using it to transfer sap off the truck and into my head tank.

Is there a way to clean the pump? I would think that there will be sap left in it alittle that will get nasty.
