where can i buy a electric water pump that will run on a 12 volt battery, need to be very very quiet,and cheap?


a small bilge pump for a boat might do the trick. boat dealer very good sporting goods store or even ebay

water pump not working?

Hi, I bought a small 6-12 volt water pump for fountains etc, and when I go to hook it up to power, it doesnt seem to be working…

When i first turn the power on, the pump makes one small clicking noise then it does nothing…

Anyone know if I’m doing anything wrong?

Check its input requirements:
* ac or dc?
* voltage
* current
* startup current or VA

Probably there isn’t sufficient current to start the motor. Another possibility is that the pump impeller needs lubrication.

how can you check a fuel relay switch on 1995 grand prix and where is it located at?

ive pulled the pump out and I have voltage (the key is in on position) to the float switch at top position i have 12 volts. As you lower the float, voltage decreases to about 2-4 volts at bottom position of float but no power to the (pump?) part. before I started dismanteling I had pulled off the lines to tank and couldnt get gas to flow out. So basically I cant figure out if its the pump thats bad, a short somewhere, or the relay switch possibly,, any answers for this? car ran good, then one day it started to sputter a little then died .now it wont start. it will once in awhile sputter start it spits and sputters (runs like its full of water you would think) then dies outits a 3.1 liter v6 19995 pont grand prix… thanks

dont worry about the float, its only there for your gas gauge. check the power and ground to the pump. with the key on you should have power to the pump for about 3 seconds. this primes the pump for starting. While cranking and running it will be continuous power. Now if you have that you whole power circut including your relay is good. next check for a good ground to the pump. If its bad its just a body ground and repair it. Check it with a test light by poiwering on end and touching it to the ground. will be grounded at all times. fuel pumps in all these gms were very notorious for failing. you most likely have a bad pump.

Underwater CCTV Video 2:3 – Seafox ROV – Buntzen Lake BC Canada

You are watching video #2 of 3 videos in this series, to view video #3 go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuRj114QZkM

Underwater video from my Seafox ROV (Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle). A CCTV camera is mounted inside and the ROV is powered by six 12 volt 1100 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) bilge pumps.

Two 12 volt car batteries connected in series (24 volts) are required to power the bilge pumps because of voltage drop through the 100 foot tether, which is made up of Cat5 cable and 18 gauge wire. A simple control box with toggle switches is used to turn off and on each pump, along with a switch for the 50 watt bulb aboard the ROV.

The ROV frame is made of 1/2″ PVC piping, the 3″ PVC piping on the top with end caps is water tight and provides flotation while the 1″ PVC piping at the bottom holds the ballast. I use metal washers on each top corner to fine tune the buoyancy for fresh and salt water. Most materials can be bought at Home Depot, the bilge pumps came from Canadian Tire.
