Hello!
I was looking for a vacuum pump that is able to suck out water from an Underground Storage Tank (UST). The UST carries thousands of gallons of gasoline in it but overtime or whenever it rains, water gets in these tanks which affects the gasoline and the fuel pumps at gas stations in a negative way so I was looking to extract the water out with a 2” hose. For this process I need a specific pump that’s capable of sucking out gasoline since a small amount of gasoline that’s mixed with the water will be pulled out. Does anyone know of some pumps that are able to do this? I will also be powering it up with a diesel engine and the pump will extract the water/gas into a waste tank.
The normal vacuum pumps that’s used primarily for just water usually go bad after single use or a few uses. The parts of the pump need to be able to withstand gasoline since this pump will be used daily year round.
EDIT: looking for any kind of pump, not specifically a vacuum pump
