Just picked up a MEP002a - lots of hours but it runs well. I needed to replace a fuel line and found all the information I needed here on the forum. Thanks to all the contributors!
I'd like to plumb this to my 330 gallon home heating oil tank. I'm aware of the auxiliary pump, but not sure whether its got enough power to do the job. Since the tank is in the basement, the hose will need to travel 8' vertically and be about 35' horizontally. Will the auxiliary pump provide sufficient lift?
I checked the Facet site and it indicates the 480517E is rated for 24" of "Lift Min Dry". That doesn't sound very promising, but on the other hand, it says "Min" lift. I'm not sure how to interpret the rating - is the "max" lift much higher?
Has anyone tried running the auxiliary pump to a tank in the basement?
Thanks
