WMO pump,
August 6, 2010
"I use this pump to power a filter system that I made for cleaning WMO for my deuce and a half to run on. By hand it pumps pretty slow so expect to wait of you are doing 40 or so gallons.
I drilled out and tapped the handle shaft and installed a stud that I can attach a large corded half inch chuck Milwaukee drill to. It will make you have fore arms of steel but it will empty a 55 gallon drum in minutes at about 300 rpm.
It is a pain to prime off of the drill but it works fine for a really cheap hand pump. Charges in about a second off of the drill."

hand operated barrel pump,

"I purchased this pump for the sole purpose of emptying a barrel of oil into smaller containers that I could handle easier.. the pump was very easy to assemble and required no special tools.. within minutes of opening the box I was ready to get started.. the feed tube reached the bottom of the 55 gal. drum and the pump was held stable by the bung plug surrounding the riser. The pump handle was very easy to turn and the volume of oil would fill a five gallon bucket in just a minute of two.. had no problems and would recommend it to anyone ..."

Will not self-prime if drum is less than 1/3rd cap,
February 22, 2010
By Impaler from The Last County, WA
"I purchased this to transfer off-highway diesel fuel from a drum. As the fuel level within the drum drops the pump becomes more difficult to self-prime. When the fuel in the drum drops to about half capacity then the priming effort of this pump takes on a cartoonish comical effort! When the fuel level drops to 1/3rd - 1/4er then no amount of human effort will get this pump to self prime. However, if the pump is in operation it will nearly drain a drum of diesel fuel down to maybe the last five - 10 gallons.
I gave up and upgraded to a 12 volt electric transfer pump which is what I should have done the first time."

Great for occasional use,

"Great price, decent rotary hand pump good for pumping fluids. Our company uses a lot of non-corrosive fluids which we buy in 55 gallon drums. This rotary hand pump is great for that task. Price was good, assembly was simple and pump works well. Would recommend to anyone."
