Here is the setup we use for pumping syrup. Powered by a 5HP Honda "trash" pump. The "T" in the line before the pump was used as an intake when filling the bulk tank but we now use the boom on the 5 ton truck to empty barrels directly into the tank. Dismantling the pump for cleanup is easily done to prevent corrosion of the seals from the syrup. A ball valve is used at the end of the feeder hose and there is negligible pressure buildup between fillings and no bypass was necessary. http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/claudehachey/?action=view¤t=HPIM0431.jpg http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/claudehachey/?action=view¤t=HPIM0429.jpg http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/claudehachey/?action=view¤t=HPIM0428.jpg ----- ******************************************************* * Search the BEE-L archives at: * * http://listserv.albany.edu:8080/cgi-bin/wa?S1=bee-l * *******************************************************
