Whatever you do don't advertise running VO or WVO. Possibility that men in black suits will pay you a visit with rubber hoses (revenue boys).

I have seen those air powered barrel pumps at harborfreight >>> How do they work? Do they build up decent pressure and pump the GPM that they say they will.... I have a $1200 transfer pump for motor oil that I hate >> I was just curious as to how those worked....

i got that one ebay for $59 and all i do is put 10psi in my barrel and that fills up 4 5gal cans in like 5 min, if i dont turn it on slow it shoots oil all over the place because of the pressure.
