Fluid Transfer Pumps - Ben Jay - 12-03-2012

This weekend i'll be mostly welding a handle onto the spigot of a power steering pump...

Man can you imagine trying to siphon vegetable oil, that'd be a bitch of a job.

Let me know how that goes! Could rig up a small motor to do that and give that a go.

also looks quite handy - there's loads on ebay..

Use an old lift pump from something and connect it to a battery. Slow but gets the job done.

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - Toby - 12-03-2012

Got to be wary when buying hand pumps like that Ben, you may find that the inlet tube is wider than vegetable oil drum outlets. The 20l ktc containers I get from JJ Foods have a fairly small opening.

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - 4WayDiablo - 12-03-2012

I just pour it straight out of the bottle/ container into a funnel and straight in
If ive just been to tesco for "fuel" then i buy a 19p bottle of sparkling flavoured water and cut the bottom off. It makes a perfect funnel due to it long neck

Just buy a funnel, or the best thing I use is a watering can. 12 litre one from b&q, Was only a fiver.

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - Dum-Dum - 12-03-2012

I like using a fluid transfer pump, makes it easy but an electric PAS pump and a bit of wiring will be alot faster.

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - THE_Liam - 12-03-2012

Fluid transfer lol

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - 4WayDiablo - 12-03-2012

Haha such a child!

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - silverzx - 12-03-2012

Any cheap hardware store e.g. "ProperJob" sell 99p & £1.99 funnels.

They have a mesh/filter in which is a great extra precaution but you can easily cut them out if you want it to go through quicker. Smile

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - stevieg - 13-03-2012

use them for work for moving the oil out the 200ltr barrels into 5ltr jugs. will move around 5ltrs in about 10-15 secs depending on how fast you crank the handle

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - Ben Jay - 11-05-2012

Just found this in machine mart. What do you guys think?

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - ben87 - 11-05-2012

i just got a £1 funnel from local car place and used that...nice and simple and no mess

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - Jenkosowls - 11-05-2012

holding 20l of veg up and trying to pour it into a funnel equals waste and takes an age iv tried decanting it into smaller containers etc just makes it worst

Re: Fluid Transfer Pumps - Harky - 11-05-2012

I just pour in from 20l drums with a funnel. I have this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-3L-TRANSFER-FUNNEL-STRAINER-FUEL-OIL-ACID-/120524571888?pt=UK_Measuring_Tools_Levels&hash=item1c0fd304f0#ht_1317wt_1166 funnel. I cut the very bottom inch or 2 off it to make it flow a bit quicker, then I open the boot and clip the clip onto the gas strut. Funnel stays in place and only takes a minute to pour it in, only problem is you've no auto-cut off so overfilling can be a problem!

Having said this I like Dum-Dums ideal of and electric PAS, might have to investigate.
