I Found Nemo!
Been using This High Volume Pump from Harbor Freight for several months for collecting oil. It has an impeller similar to a roots blower, and move alot of oil with minimal effort. Much faster and easier than the common vane type barrel pumps.
The other day, the small gear inside broke in half while pumping thick partially hydrogenated. On a whim, I pulled the side cover and attached my cordless drill to the shaft left by the missing gear, and to my surprise, found it ran the pump almost effortlessly! Emptied a barrel in no time.
