I see you are in Iowa. If there is an ag-chem (spray) equipment dealer in your town or area, they would have many choices of suction hose to choose from.
I use a 1/2 inch metal pipe thats 4 feet long screwed into my pump. You can lower it into the waste oil as far as you want and keep the water and crud out.
My WMO pump works great until the suction hose collapses...
Any suggestions? There is a hose used in firefighting.... but I'm looking for something to buy locally....
I have a bunch of sections of hoses intended for use on a trash pump/water pump. They are approximately 15' long and have quick disconnects on each end, one male and one female.
They are 1 1/2" diameter. Also have the pump which runs on 208, 3 phase juice. Make me an offer and they are yours.
Tactor supply, Farm and Fleet or a Grainger will also have what your looking for. You can look up on line for what you need at all three Grainger may give you a few more options though.
Good shopping and post what you decided to use.

that water piping they use instead of copper pipe in new homes.... I picked up a small section of it and inserted it into the hose I was using...
I forgot about Grainger....
and the metal pipe is a good idea... just to awkward I'd think.
With my set up Id still need a flexible section anyway.
I'm using and old electric motor to spin a Chevy small block oil pump....it spins at 1700 rpms according to the info on the motor. I think I want to slow it down some too...that would help.
