After much procrastination, I got the pump built and dry tested. Havent got to move oil with it yet, that happens in a few hours when I get off work.

Basicly I follwed the instructions on how to convert a chevy small block oil pump into a transfer pump, and coupled it to a 1hp washer motor. Ill report back on how well it works.

Here is a few pictures.

Looks just like my setup. I haven't gotten a coupling yet, what did you use?

I use the gear off the end of a junk chevy disributer. I punched out the pin, removed the gear, took a 1/2 bit to make the large enough to fit over the motor shaft. Put the pin back in, and pounded the gear onto the end of the shaft, untill the pin stoped it, then the slot on the pump fits in perfectly.

I have a similar setup & it works great. I sometimes use it with a 1/2hp motor, but usually just w/ the 1/2" drill.

perfect for use with a centrifuge.

that would work just for transfering oil into my main storage tank right?

Yes it will work. I built one and it pumps about 7 gal per minute just using by 18v drill. I have never timed it hooked up to the 120v motor.

Nice

Looks good! I think I may need one of those, would this work as a recovery pump? Would it pump oil out of a container on the ground and pump it up into a drum in the back of a deuce at a reasonable rate?

Have the same set up. My prob is that I'm not sure what pick-up hose to use that can handle the type of fuels and not collapse under suction. Would like to be able to run a long pick-up hose. Have tried a few things and I keep getting sections sucked flat. Would also like to NOT spend HUGE amounts on the hose.
