Default Smoke oil transfer pump

I'd like to put together a simple smoke oil transfer pump system so that I don't have to remove my tank every time I want to fill it from the 5 gallon containers. Anybody have a recommendation for an electric pump that would work, and a source for it?

TIA!

Default transfer pump

I use pretty much the same 12V pump as the system. Northern tool or tractor supply has them. I use my jump battery box for power. Hope that helps.

Default Manual Smoke Oil Transfer Pump

I have used a manual transfer pump for my "Smoking Airplanes" smoke system for the past 7 or 8-years. The system was copied from a Nanchang pilot's web site. All my pieces came from Northern Tool, Walmart and or Lowes. It works great when working with small quantities like 5-gallon containers. If working out of a 55-gallon drum, then something other than what I use would be desired.
