Pump to fill a van
«

I will have 800L of RO'd water stored in my back garden. In the morning I want to pump it through my mid-terrace house into my van parked in the street.
Question: what kind of pump should I use: a bilge pump or an inline pump? Would a bilge pump be too noisy in the garden? Alternatively, would an inline pump located in the house work ok--the kind used to feed water through the poles?
Thanks

I use a sump pump(bilg pump) to pump my water about 30 mtrs to the van, takes 5 to 10 minutes 300 to 500 ltrs.
I think an in line pump would take a long time??
I use a cheap and chearful sump pump from screwfix not very noisy (can hardly hear it) it has lasted about 6 months so far no problems.
Andrews water does a very nice stainless steel pump the kind that last for every.

you could use a submersible puddle pump, some of them are very powerful and can move alot of water.

How long would that hand cranked pump take till empty a 25ltr container.
That sounds handy for filling my trolley up.

235 litre a minute pump
The cost is £120.00 for the pump and £57.00 for 100' (30 metres) of reinforced 1" hose
Omnipole
The above is part of a PM I had over on another forum from Glyn at Omnipole (obviously)
Submersible pump 235 LITRES A MINUTE!!!!
4.25 minutes to fill up a 1000 litre tank
Now thats what you call a pump

Thanks for all your comments, guys.
Quickness would be great. I am now looking at the stainless steel submersable pump from screwfix ("order" no 71885-77, p.558 spring 2005 catalogue). Anyone got this? Unfortunately they are not able to tell me how big it is! My IBC tank will accept 5.5 diameter entry point (cap).
Here is a picture of the pump on their web site:
