You might want to take a look at this. It is certainly less expensive if it will work for you:
Pail - Harbor Freight Tools pump
Yes, that's my plan, set it on a bench and use it to fill a gallon container. Seems like it would be so much easier to pour some oil out.
What is the GPM on this little gem?Home depot has a little battery powered pump that works awesome. My wife and I use it to fill the lawn mower. It is powered by a "D" cell battery and is pretty fast. It will work on any fluid. I have a couple of them. I have used them on water, gas, diesel and oil. The last one I bought cost me $10. They are in the lawn and garden section.
