Looks like a good pump, Roy, but too expensive for 3 or more of these
things.

My criteria is hurting me or, rather, my pocketbook.

A decent hydraulic pump seems to be the way to go. As others mentioned,
none of these pumps like dirt so slow and old works fine. Here is a 9 gpm
pump for under $80

Well, guys, I just want to empty 55 gallon barrels of oil as soon as
possible cheaply.

I want to build up 2 to 4 of these things.
Oil will be dirty. Actually, it is wvo.

Thanks

You say "pumping oil", as opposed to "putting oil under pressure".
It would make a big difference it you comment on the pressure you NEED
and the flow in gpm that you want. Also, is the oil clean or not? I
don't think power steering pumps like dirty oil. Are you "building up"
several separate systems or do you want several pumps just to get to
some particular volume?
IIRC, many power steering pumps only deliver somewhere in the range
of 2-4 gpm, but at 1000 psi or more.

I want to build up several gear pumps for pumping oil. I figure that
getting steering pumps from an auto junk yard will be the cheapest
route.

I wonder what vehicle may have the highest flow pump. Should I just
consider that the larger the vehicle, the faster the flow rate?

Thanks
