@efaciler2462 some times it takes a while saturate the soil enough for it to fill up. And if you have very sandy soil, it may never hold well. I’m along a creek bottom so it does tend to hold water well.
@@fowlplayoutdoors68 ok awesome .I bought the things you suggested to increase run time on trash pump . Going to be getting it ready this week. It's a pain to constantly have to fill the small tank up . Love your vids. Learning lots .
Great tip on extended run time, I think we’re gonna try that on our ice eater in Ohio that we use with our generator. Always enjoy watching a passionate waterfowler 👍👍
I’ll see if I can but it was pretty obvious. Only three nuts hold it on and once loose some pliers will release the clamp on the fuel line and you pull the line of the outlet on the tank. Of course that only applies to this specific engine. Other will vary.
@@fowlplayoutdoors68 I have two pumps. The big 3” commercial pump from harbor freight and the regular 3” pump. The big one has easy access to the fuel hose but the smaller 3” pump is hard to get to. Never occurred to me to take the tank off. Got my gravity fed tank hooked up yesterday and it’s a game changer! Love your vidoes
@@therealjonmoss That's awesome man! My original plan was to leave the tank on and install a 3 way fuel valve like a 4 wheeler has to turn gas off or switch to reserve but the fuel is tucked to tight under the tank for that to work. That might work on your big pump. www.amazon.com/dp/B08YVQKWLS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Once you flood it , does it stay flooded all duck season or are you having to refill it?
We typically get one or two big rain events each winter that will back the river up and flooded it as well. So far, that’s been good enough
@@fowlplayoutdoors68 oh nice !!! I just built me a duck impoundment but it's having trouble holding water which is why I was asking

Glad you enjoyed it. You call is passionate, my wife calls it obsessed. Same thing. LOL
Can you show in your next video how you took off the gas tank? Which bolts/screws and where they were connected

@@fowlplayoutdoors68 that’s exactly what I’m using on the big pump.
