Thanks for the reply BillA. While the selection is certainly limited, I am coming up with some reasonable candidates. I have not called Iwaki (bigben2k) but the word from a distributor is that Little Giant doesn't make anything good for -40 that will fit my space req's (under 12" length). I do have a candidate from March (www.marchpumps.com) with their 809HS in stainless steel as well as a possible from Finish Thompson (www.finishthompson.com) with their KC5 in PVDF. Interestingly enough, FT stated they had never rated their pumps at the low end of the temperature scale but they would cut me a significant deal on a pump if I would "test" it for them. While I would want some clarification on where that would leave me should their pump fail, I told them I would keep the offer in mind...:>) I have about 4 more companies to contact that I think might have a good candidiate and I will certainly post here if I get any winners. Also, while I know most are not willing/able to pay for the kind of pump I am looking for, I am fortunately able to be a bit more "generous" with this project. I will keep everyone posted on what I find.
