A garden hose at that point is just an expensive way to feel useless. The \u003cstrong\u003eBianco Vulcan BIA-MH15SHP\u003c\/strong\u003e is the answer to that: a single-impeller fire fighting pump shifting 390 litres a minute at up to 74.5 metres of head, driven by a Honda GX160 that starts on the recoil after sitting in the shed all winter. It self-primes from 6 metres down, so the dam, the creek and the tank all become water you can actually use. At 28.2 kg you can lift it into the ute on your own, and the other 364 days of the year it’s just as happy doing washdown, dust suppression, tank filling and crop spraying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd one to your cart and stop hoping the mains hold up.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping Australia-wide.\u003c\/strong\u003e Assembled in Australia and backed by a 2 year pump parts and labour warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBianco Vulcan BIA-MH15SHP: What You Get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou get real pressure at the far end of a long hose run\u003c\/strong\u003e — 74.5 metres of head off the single closed impeller means you can run line up a slope or across a paddock and still have something worth pointing at a fire, instead of a sad little dribble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt fires up when you need it, not on the fifth pull\u003c\/strong\u003e — the Honda GX160 runs a transistor magneto ignition and a dual-element paper and foam air cleaner, so it shrugs off dust and months sitting idle between seasons and still starts on the recoil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne person can get it where it needs to go\u003c\/strong\u003e — 28.2 kg in a 510 x 410 x 425 mm roll frame lifts into a ute tray or onto a tank stand without a second set of hands, so you’re not standing around waiting for help when minutes count.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhatever water is on the property becomes usable water\u003c\/strong\u003e — it self-primes from 6 metres down through a 1½\" inlet, so the dam, the creek and the rainwater tank all count, not just the tap that stops working when the mains drop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParts and service are actually here in Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e — it’s assembled locally around a Honda Australia approved engine with Bianco spares stocked in-country, so a worn mechanical seal down the track is a phone call and a part, not a write-off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/7083\/8839\/files\/bianco-vulcan-bia-mh15shp-fire-pump-front-left-angle_480x480.jpg?v=1789010232\" alt=\"Bianco Vulcan BIA-MH15SHP fire fighting pump front left view showing the red cast aluminium wet end and Honda GX160 engine in the roll frame\" style=\"float: none;

You’ll want a 1½\" suction hose with a strainer on the end, a foot valve above the strainer, and whatever delivery hose suits your block. White International sell a matching 1½\" fire hose kit (FFK01-B) if you’d rather not piece it together yourself.

The other big one: fill the pump housing with water before starting, at least 2 litres, and top up the suction line if you can. Running it dry chews out the mechanical seal in seconds and voids the warranty. Prime it, then start it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far can it draw water up, and how far can it push?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt self-primes from up to 6 metres below the pump, so a dam, creek, bore tank or rainwater tank is all fair game. On the output side it’ll manage 74.5 metres of head or 390 litres a minute — not both at once, mind. The higher or further you push, the less volume comes out the end. For most house blocks and small farms that’s plenty of pressure to reach the roofline and the back fence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe to run near the house, and what’s the warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOutdoors only, always. The exhaust puts out carbon monoxide, which you can’t see or smell and which will kill you — never run it in a shed, garage or under the house, even with the doors open. Keep a metre clear on all sides, and don’t touch the muffler until it’s cooled off. It’s covered by a 2 year parts and labour warranty on the pump, with Honda’s own engine warranty and service network behind the GX160.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/7083\/8839\/files\/bianco-vulcan-bia-mh15shp-fire-pump-honda-gx160-recoil-start_480x480.jpg?v=1789010241\" alt=\"Honda GX160 recoil starter and fuel tank on the Bianco Vulcan BIA-MH15SHP fire fighting pump viewed from the engine side\" style=\"float: none; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/7083\/8839\/files\/bianco-vulcan-bia-mh15shp-fire-pump-discharge-outlets-roll-frame_480x480.jpg?v=1789010249\" alt=\"Bianco Vulcan BIA-MH15SHP fire fighting pump showing the 1.5 inch BSPM discharge outlet and protective steel roll frame\" style=\"float: none; margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bianco NXT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42437209849911,"sku":"BIA-MH15SHP","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/7083\/8839\/files\/bianco-vulcan-bia-mh15shp-fire-pump-front-left-angle_94138569-1802-42fe-a671-e0b09192097a.jpg?v=1789010644","url":"https:\/\/outbacksafetrack.com.au\/products\/bianco-vulcan-bia-mh15shp-honda-gx160-fire-pump","provider":"Outback SafeTrack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
