The drill pump that northern tools sells - takes about 20minutes to pump out of a 55 gal barrel into another 55 gal barrel. At first I thought it wasn't working, but if you just leave the drill going for a few minutes it finally starts working. Takes a while to self prime.

P.S. put the pump as close to the liquid as possible.

Yeah, but if you have about a 4 foot suction hose, you can stick it all the way into the drum, start the drill and while it is running pull the hose out as you push the drill below the level of the oil. Pulling the hose out will work like a siphon to get it primed, only you don't have a mouth full of stinky oil when it starts. ;D
Once the oil is in the pump you are off to the races. That's a good idea to put the pump close to the supply liquid.

Well, after making a (possibly) smart remark  , I have had two drill pumps and have not been able to get either one pumping anything. I ran them until they were hot, so they might now be slag. Ian T. used a HF marine pump ($39.99) to help me out, so I'm going to get one of those. I'm hoping they will go on sale before long. |

Those HF pumps died on me after one use. It would run but doesn't suck. Get the drill pump from redline pumps. Those are just a chevy oil pump and you can attach a drill to it. It's 60 dollars but should last a really long time. 6-10gpm.
