The first one (vane pump) won't likely move anything but warm VO - I have a more powerful one than that and resorted to only using it for B100.
The 2nd is a gear pump and will work OK, just don't expect a lot of volume from it. This pump is used by alot of veggie folks.
For similar money you can get a 1hp gas-powered water pump that will move 3x the oil. I have a Honda pump, but know a couple of people with cheap 2 stroke versions that seem to work as well (except for being PITA 2 strokes). I read where someone got one for like $139 recently...2001 F350 XLT 4x4, dually flatbed. 6637 air filter, single-shot injectors, straight-piped, BTS tunes, 200 gal main VO tank - 180k greasy miles

The main thing I'm going to use it for is when I need to fill the tank when I'm pulling to the races during the summer, so I'd imagine the oil should be plenty warm, especially being microwaved inside the enclosed trailer
I used the leaky harbor freight barrel pump this past weekend and that got old FAST!-Drew
V3'd 2000 Excursion - gone but not forgotten

I ordered the pump that DFA sells - there's two nozzle sizes - Jason said the larger one should be good for what you need it for, Marv. I bought the smaller nozzle ones for a similar setup, but to move clean oil from storage into my tank.
When I receive it and get it in operation, I'll let you know how she works.'02 7.3L Excursion Limited; ~242Kmi total; ~157Kmi on WVO

I just looked at the DFA website and have a quick question - can you order the unit with a pig-tail for the 7-pin plug already on there?
Maybe I just mis-understood what they were referring to.

I used the leaky harbor freight barrel pump this past weekend and that got old FAST!
For that application I would buy a $20ish hand pump. It goes really fast and even my girlie arms can pump 50 gals of warm oil in just a few minutes... Put as long a hose on the discharge side as ya need. I got the last one from www.jmesales.com and its my favorite so far (I have 3 or 4 different ones).2001 F350 XLT 4x4, dually flatbed. 6637 air filter, single-shot injectors, straight-piped, BTS tunes, 200 gal main VO tank - 180k greasy miles

for pumping clean oil into the tank, you can't beat this pump. Even cold oil will flow - slow but i aint in a hurry when i fill up really. I can pump about 50 gal. in 15-20 minutes when its cold and twice that fast when its warm.
Its not self priming but mount it down low and once its primed, it stays primed._____________

Its prolly close to FillRite 12v pump for volume, but WILL NOT push through a filter.
Using the cubies like I do now isn't that bad, but sure would be nice to just hook it up, turn it on and let it run for a few minutes while I kick back and take a break.Greasin & Grinin

Then open the valve on the barrel and turn on the pump and start filling up whatever I use as a collection tank.
