    Hi all,

    I'm looking at buying what I believe to be the IF542 heater, but it it's missing it's pump. Would this have had the large type with a tee handle? Is it the same as the FL6 large type?

    Many thanks!

    this one??

    its a standard tilley male pump thread on the tank so a standard pump will get you going .. just might take longer
    ;)

    for the differences between the two pig heater models have a search for this excellent thread by Mr Snowdon

    Yes that's the type! Good to know on standard threads. So I assume it's the same as the FL6 narrow type?

    the IF 54 uses the donut type of filler with the cycle attachment?
