Well made pump. Pumps motor oil, fuel, most anything. Needs to be cleaned after pumping diesel. The cheaper pumps tend to leak badly after one use with diesel. This one is tight so far.

One of the best made small pumps that I've used. Pumping out used motor oil with the small tube is tedious, but it gets the job done. The small hose is useless for moving gear lube. I purchased some 5/8" clear silicone hose to use when filling transmissions and ptos,etc.(I like being able to see the lube in the discharge tube so I don't spill oil all over). Plus, the large diameter hose allows for fast filling.

Hand pump was purchased to remove oil from a marine engine. The pump worked OK but the hose fitting on pump inlet became loose with the warm oil (Oil temperature was about 110F)and kept slipping off the end of pump causing significant oil mess that had to be cleaned up. Because there is a jerking motion with this kind of pump I could not recommend if for its advertised application. Moreover, it was difficult to keep the discharge hose in the oil container because of the hand pumping action. If I were going to buy another hand pump I would consider only those that had a collection reservoir integrated with the pump. I have purchased an oil extraction system that uses a vacuum to draw oil into a six gallon tank. The time savings with no oil mess more than makes up for the addition cost. Conclusion: an inexpensive oil extraction hand pump such as this product is not worth the price even if it were free.
