[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 100241, member: 357"] everything depends on run time really, when I used to run bilge pump I didn't work in the same way I do with a petrol pump. I used to take several large buckets with me i'd dig and classify into the buckets and then turn the pump on and run them all. One quick clean out into a separate bucket and your back into filling buckets. there's no reason to run your battery all day and a battery should not be heavier than a petrol pump. The benefit of a petrol pump is many, longer run times, able to tranfer water at great lenghts, not limited by power etc etc but when your on a budget as per TheFossickingKid 's situation a petrol pump with all of its fittings can be prohibitive you would have to allow at least another $100 for fittings and hoses for a petol pump so he wouldn't get much change from $300 for going petrol. Bilge is a good starter but not a long term solution. [/QUOTE]
