Nov 6, 2021 #1 Rienstra Industrial Nov 6, 2021 1 0 0 US I have a waste oil tank with a 10an drain fitting. I have a 110vac, 4.86gpm waste oil pump with a 1" inlet. My question is, if I adapt the 10an up to the 1", will it work or will it starve the pump?

In general, it helps the pump hydraulic with a larger size of the pump inlet, but it might not be necessary. Upvote 0 Downvote
