    i have a septic tank that needs emptying. problem is that it is located in the corner of the back garden with limited access. short of knocking a wall to back a tractor into it, anyone know of someone or have something that reach it from 13metres? financially knocking the wall is not an option.

    perhaps a 3 inch sludge pump will do it. Its essentially a petrol pump with a pipe in and a pipe out, it may fill the tractor tanker from a distance if your run the pipe to it

    so far i can only find dyno rod who want 670 to come down to portlaoise and empty it. surely to god there is some1 out there with a hose long enough to reach the tank that wont cost a fortune to come to the house and wont require the knocking of the wall
