Had a barrel of waste oil donated to me today for my workshop heater so had to devise a clean way to get it up to the storage tank upstairs on the loft.
I located an old electric motor with a pulley on it, found a hydraulic pump that came off an old MH 780 Special combine that we had decades ago (never throw away useful junk...) and a lump of girder.
A bit of cutting, plumbing, wiring and a shower of sparks later I had a transfer pump...took about 20 mins to quietly pump 200 litres of oil to the tank without spilling any.
The A-team would love it here...
