I have a few waste vegie oil providers lined up, and they store their used oil in 30 gallon steel drums. Where can I buy a pump that will allow me to pump out there old oil into my 300 gallon container? Any other suggestions are appreciated

Home depot had one that I used. it was about 100 bucks, 110 power supply use a garden hose in and out. What I did was get a metal coat hanger, straighten it out and tape the garden hose to it so it would keep the hose straight. I have since returned the pump as I no longer need it. but they have it. go to there plumbing area, not lawn and garden.

I don't have a recomendation as I never did actual bio diesel, I would however look into making my own bio diesel processor as I was looking into before I had a turn in events causing finances to go south.

Oops ! you also wanted a pump. you must get a pump for oil or fuel. a water pump may not take the thick oil and brake, mine broke. Northern supply or Haurbor Fright . the youtube will show you how to hook it all up. If you want to run just waste vege oil you must heat it or suffer my fate. I run cold wvo (waste vegetable oil) with bio diesel to cut my cost from $2 per gallon to $1.and now I'm looking for help to get my o2 running again. may cost me $1200 + .
