Used this pump our first season, had great luck with it. Pulls 16 to 18 inches no problem. I have a new rebuild kit for it. That was for emergencies, but never needed it. I built a homemade reclaimer out of a new sandblaster and steel wool. Has all piping and vacuum regulator with it. I will post pics this week if anyone is interested. Also have an additional Honda engine to go with it.
