I purchsed this pump to transfer used oil from the pan I collect the oil under my car to a 5 gallon jug to bring to the recycle center. I used a 3/4" clear tube on the inlet about 18" long instead of the small inlet tube supplied. I used the black tube from the kit for the outlet. I placed the inlet tube into the pan and the outlet tube into my jug. I pulled the trigger on my cordless drill and watched the oil slowly come up the clear tube until it reached the impeller, then the oil pumped quickly. I pumped 5 quarts in about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. All the oil came out the tubes except what stuck to the sides. This pump did what I bought it for and I am pleased with the results. I would recommend this product.

This pump did not work. I tried it the day I received it and sent it back the next day for a full refund. Amazon was easy to deal with but the pump was not worth the money. I was very disapointed with this item as all I wanted it for was for standing clean water transfer.

The first pump would not pump so I was sent a new pump. I noticed that the second pump would pump thru the pump but not out the outfeed tube. The outfeed tube is so flimsy that it kinks at 3-4 places where the factory folded it to fit in the box. This is a permanent kink and doesn't allow fluids to flow out of the pump. I had to insert a more rigid tube inside the outfeed tube to eliminate the kinks.

No matter how fast or slow I spun the drill, this pump did not move any liquid. And yes, lubricated the impeller as per the instructions, and I was rotating it in the right direction. Absolute junk. Stay away from this pump. I would have given it zero stars, but apparently that's not an option.

Hooked up tubes, attached to a drill, the drill was spinning like crazy...NO FLUID CAME UP. Tube connections were tight, direction was correct, drill spinning direction was correct, but nothing happened. Finally my Siphons pump saved me. Very disappointed.

I felt that I might give it a try, hoping that the good reviewers outweighed the bad.
Well I wasn't so lucky.

Rigged the pump yesterday to my dipstick, and tried everything I could think of for an hour to get this to work.
NADA, ZIP, ZILCH, NOTHING!

Last I tried priming a "self Priming" pump with some fresh motor oil and pieces of the plastic impeller spit out the back end.
I guess I know why it wasn't working now.

hopefully they'll send a replacement.

Replacement was sent, and worked well.
Drained 5 Qts of oil through my dipstick in less than 10 min.

Now It won't pump. Don't Buy.

This little pump works great! I used it to empty a queen-sized waterbed, which I'm sure is beyond the scope of what it was orignally designed to do. It probably took me about 5-6 hours total of pumping. I didn't want to burn out my drill so I did the pumping in about 30 minute increments. It doesn't provide a super fast flow and so it took the good part of the weekend, but in the end this pump did its job and worked flawlessly. I would recommend it.

This pump is pure junk. I couldn't even get it to transfer water from my sink. Promptly returning to amazon. DO NOT BUY.
