How do you pump water with propane? generator?

I’m in the same situation. Must pump water with electricity. Hand pump works, but is NOT fun for very long. I have a gasoline-powered generator and about 400 gallons gasoline stored for long-term power outages pumping water and running refrigeration/lights/FreeRepublic.

I am 100% wood heated with a propane heater backup for if we leave town (keeps the pipes from freezing).

You can get motors that run on propane.

Propane delivery trucks frequently run on propane.
