I picked this pump up at TSC around 6 weeks ago. Like most people, I didn't read the specs before buying. Picked the most expensive one there, wanting a good one. Assembled it no problem. Shoved it in a barrel and pumped, no problem. About 6 weeks later, went to pump with it, and it was seized tight. Problem. Took it apart and saw a cast iron drum with some type of high carbon impellers. Guess what I had been pumping.....water! Sucker was rusted tight! A little wire brushing and some WD-40 got it good as new. Great pump.....just not for water! Maybe I should take my glasses in the store next time so I can read the fine print! Now to go buy another pump. I have a great one, just no use for one that can't pump water.

This pump flat out sucks if you install a filter kit. It won't even put out a gallon of diesel per 100 revolutions.
