All parts listed below in the description.
After many fires locally in the last week Alex helps Oli buy a petrol water pump and shows you how to fit the taps and hoses to set you up with a budget fire fighting pump.
Although it all costs around 400-500 Euros to build it, this pump could save your land or your home.

Folks in California could benefit by watching this video…if there is any water to be had, that is. Will sea water work?
I start farming next month at the port of the Sahara desert Foum Zguid original a Olive fin yart but we will combine it with dairy goats and cows poultry and vegetables. I'm a happy folower thanks too Jasper, I'm Dutch too and my wife is Morocan.
Alex when ollie was using the hoze i saw some kind of flytrao in the tree….what are you using inside thsat trap to attrackt flies?
congrats for ollie and jana to be able to move on to their land…wish i was at that stage already..:)
Nice setup there!
It’s criminal to see that you guys only have 4,5 K subscribers…..you are an honest no BS channel that deserves way way way more recognition !
Alex, this is absolutely a fantastic and essential vlog. I seen previously how ur farm was invaded by fire. see you have only 4.5k followers but to be honest any one in Portugal who portuguse is weak and English is better would appreciation this. I know it is a topic some people would ignore and want the service to be provided. A small suggestion would be the involvement of the bombersderios( spelling) who speaks good English to recommend preventive measures.( Fire cuts maybe you could give more ) On that point farmer for fun little Joe does subtitles in Portuguese. Maybe others could do subtitles in other European languages.Finally I love this one…… Fire drills at 4am thank you and stay safe
Great public service episode. It looks to be a very challenging fire year. Stay safe.
Turn the PTFE tape around 180 degrees. It will make it quicker & easier to apply.
Thank you, a very worthwhile video. While its not a difficult process it would be easy to make a simple mistake and damage a part or have something that doesn't work just when you need it. Very clear and well explained video 👍👌👍
God this man has a wealth of knowledge, please tell me that once I come across to buying my plot of land in central porragal you will be available for some info 😁
As per usual….get that ole man on and we learn things…..no more of the jibber jabber please …🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how unapologetic you are in your criticism of Chinese manufactured products. In my experience they are absolute garbage. Unfortunately they are also unavoidable in this society that we have created.
You are brilliant!
Sorry I haven't been in touch…I’m still dealing with trauma drama, but I’m getting it all sorted. Your demonstration was brilliant! You always know how to do things. I love your DIY videos. You’re all set, but I hope you don’t have to use it. Take care.
Really good video. This could save lives and property.
Hello Alex, Molly and Sandra! 😀👋 I always love watching your videos. 😊
Excellent video , very informative , very helpful . Thanks for sharing . 'Uma mao lava a outra' , one hand washes the other. Take care
Thanks
well explained information , great job !
Very well done! Excellent work, Alex and all. Congrats and very many best wishes to Jana & Oli!
This video speaks volumes about your compassion for your entire local and viewing community. 💖 Thank you.
Hi, everyone. Great informative video, hands on and a good tip to upgrade fittings. It is heating up and as you said the sun is hotter. Alex your so generous in giving your tips, information and lessons from life. Thankyou for sharing,I hope you had a cold beer after that. Glad your lass got the land sorted,stay safe everyone.
Yeah, because 1 1/2 inch is actually 1,5 x 2,54cm= 3,81 cm, so its less than 45mm, around 7mm.
Excelente trabalho! Parabéns!
The best defence is the atack. Start burning everything so when the fire arrive won't find anything to burn.
Another great advantage in using standard quick fittings is that IF the firefighters turn up they can continue from the hose you already have laid out or/and switch pumps to one of theirs. (I checked going to my local "bombers" with the fittings I had)
Great Vlog with important information. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic informative video, and one that could and would save lives.
Great collaboration where one family helps our the other and help is returned.
Let’s hope and pray that the fire engine is not needed.
Alex, try to change the oil on the engine with good oil, the Chinese fill these with crap vegetable oil or recycled oil
Thank you for this educational and life saving video!
That put a fair bit of water out ,quite a reasonable distance . so if there is a fire you could drench the surrounding area and hope that stops the fire well before it gets too near the house / Add a wheelbarrow to move it round quick and your sorted !
