(I hope it's not over 100 lbs, because my tractor loader cant handle
over 1000 lbs of lifting weight).

thanks

volume is pi*(radius squared)* length.
for 300 feet
I get 6358 cubic inches 27.6 gallons 230 pounds.
Somebody should check my math, 'cause I'm senile.

You could always pump out the water.


Not really, there is a foot valve or built in one way valve, and since
the pump is under water, it wont come out as air.
