air powered oil pumps? and recommendations?

Post by audiocontr »

Maybe one that clamps on a 5 gallon bucket? I'm really hating the little red pump.

I need it for 3 different oils so it would be nice to have one that cleans or transfers well.

Any recommendations?

I use a 5 gallon tank made for refilling oils from Longacre racing. Has a gauge to tell what pressure you have in tank (tank pressurized by means of an air compressor) and a 2" fill port to add oil as needed. I changed the fill hose to a 6' hose to make filling the pinz easier as it came with a 3' hose. If I felt the need for multiple oils I would simply acquire as many as needed. These are very handy and make changing/adding oils very easy.

I saw your post on it a while back - cant seem to find that piece on Longacre or ebay. It would be perfect!

Maybe a Samson 1320 ? Kind of pricey but is this what you have in mind?

I wanted to report back for anyone who seeks something similar in the future: this item is simply fantastic! I swapped out all of the fluids in the truck yesterday (minus brake fluid) in 2.5 hours, with very little mess. It was on crushed stone, so ingress/egress was uncomfortable. I'm sure I could do it in half the time in the future.

I poured a 5 gallon bucket gear oil into the tank, and almost emptied it by the time I was done. No more pump action fluid transfer for me, now that I have a device to do it for me! :wink:

I know once I got mine it made topping off and changing oils a breeze. I used to change all the fluids in my trucks two to three times a year (put a lot of time offroad in my trucks). Without a doubt it is one of the best "mods" you can get for the pinz if you use it and maintain it regularly.

This looks like an economical solution. For the price you could have several of them - $149.99

The Samson 1320 retails for about twice that. The ebay item was a GOOD DEAL!
