   Folks, I took apart one of the mercedes pumps (off a 300sd), and
they're pretty much the same as the 12v 40gph rv pump I bought for my
project.  Last I bought one of those mercedes pumps, it was about $150
for a used one. The rv pump was about $70.   If you want more volume (is
approx 1 gallon/minute not enough?), buy and plumb one of those summit
electric water pumps, they're like $150-200.  They flow 20-30
gallons/minute!
