The fuel is stored in the basement of the datacenter. That flooded, taking the pump that was supposed to pump up the fuel stored in the basement to the 17th floor.
This has nothing to do with buying a pump, that was already there, this has to do with the fact that the diesel tanks and the pumps for them are under water.
In the future I hope they put the pumps on higher floors, and make sure the fuel tanks are completely sealed, so even if the tanks are flooded the pump can keep pumping fuel out of it.
