Hi,
I recently bought a Draper drill pump for emptying a fishtank. It is a pump spindle that the drill goes onto and a piece of hose at each end. The idea is that the drill is meant to draw up water through one hose and push it out the other. You guys must know the one I'm talking about....
Anyway, I primed the pump as the instructions said (few drops of oil in the inlet end and fill the outlet with water) and started the drill. Nothing happened . I've checked the seals for air-tightness and the hoses are short with no kinks. Anybody have any tips for getting the thing to work. Only cost a few quid and never expected the thing to work brilliantly, but come on! (fed up of watching the outlet hose for a drop of water )
