Performance Tool W54285 DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) Rotary Barrel Pump for 55 Gallon Drums

I bought this to pump 90W gear oil from a 5-gallon bucket to smaller containers for recycling. The hose ends are just pressed on so I went ahead and put 1/4" hose clamps on both ends before I used it based on the mess others reported. I'd say they were correct because although it seems like low pressure when you are pumping heavy oil it creates a lot of pressure in the hose.**NOTE: The free HF 5 G buckets are NOT standard size and this will NOT fit the top. The HF is larger in diameter. TSC buckets and WM buckets are the standard diameters that will accept lids and this pump.PROS:1) I pumped heavily sludged oil with this from an old Farmall H with zero pump/hose leaks. You do need to pump more slowly the more heavy the oils is otherwise something may give. The bottom line is it will work.2) The pump slides up or down in the lid in case you don't want to be right on the bottom.3) The pump has stand-off feet to maintain an air gap if it is on a flat bottom.4) It saves your back and prevents a major mess trying to dump 5 G of oil into a funnel on a smaller container . . . I know.5) Zero leaks6) PriceCONS:1) you need to supply 1/4" hose fittings to reinforce the hose connections.2) The hose is cheap PVC, but it worked for me. I'm not sure how long it will last and trends to fold where it comes out the top of the pump, however, the pressure expands it open.

Read the previous reviews before I bought the pump and knew what I was buying. I followed other's advice and put hose clamps on both ends of the hose before pumping and NO LEAKS! It pumps a little slow but it sure beats holding a 5 gal bucket over a funnel into a 1 gal jug.

The pump works, but does not fit a standard barrel, no adapters supplied, just what is on the pump.

I'm not sure why the action is so short on the pump I couldn't tell you how many pumps it would take to get a quart out because after pumping for roughly 8 minutes I wasn't even a couple courts in while trying to fill my two and a half gallon empty oil container to dump it in my Duramax. But I can tell you if you disconnect it and use a pair of vise grips and use the pump action to its full stroke in four pumps or pulls it will fill a quart.

Do the job to fill a transmission

I’ve been using this product for a while now and I like it. I wish the hose was longer but it was no problem for my husband to modify it to the length we needed.

Found pump was well made and worked well. If ever I need another pump this would be my choice

Works well on 5 gallon bucket to transfer hydraulic fluid without mess
