Check this out! The end all be all WMO starter?

[IronDeuce]

I was cruising Amazon looking for some oil pumps for a filtration system I'm trying to piece together, when I came across this:
Amazon.com: Spectre Performance 5971 Easy Access Oil Kit: Automotive

Looks like its really a good way to get a start, for cheap!

I just placed my order... will report back when it arrives on Wednesday.

Anything with THAT small of a power supply will be worthless.



























I really hope I am wrong for your sake.

Wow, just wow.

I didn't know such a thing existed. I would never put that on a car.

Now re-purposing it for WMO movement, which I assume is your plan, might not work out because of the pump capabilities, but I applaud your effort. All we can do is try most of the time.

I'm sold on the chevy oil pump mod for electric drill drive. I'm going to make another soon. One to stay in the garage and one to go mobile for Mad Max-like fuel scrounging missions.

Who runs Barter Town baby?

I don't think you got totally hosed on the pruchase though, it looks like you did get some hose, and some fittings and stuff. Might be able to re-use those if the pump gives up the ghost. What I might suggest to you is maybe not use it with a cool breeze blowing, on heavy-weight oil. Viscosity is going to be your worst enemy, so aim to reduce viscosity by pumping lightweight liquids (think old gasoline, or ATF, hydraulic fluid, brake fluid etc.) and maybe plan to pump on a HOT day. If you get discouraged by your initial results, maybe wait until late May, then try it again in the afternoon. And don't forget about gravity--the closer your setup comes to a fancy siphon, the less work that motor has to do, thereby extending its life.

I'm sure you already know all of this, but it doesn't hurt to state the obvious.
