I just asked my local furnace/ AC repair guy to save me an oil fired
furnace's pump for me the next time he replaced a furnace. This is the
unit that pumps the heating oil through a nozzle to spray it into the
combustion/heating chamber. Free for the asking!
I haven't set it up on the old Bridgeport yet but it's 110V and I can
pretty much use it as is. I just have to plumb some lines to it using
the threaded input and output ports and close the re-circulation port
too.
I believe I originally heard of this in this group?

swamp cooler pumps cost about $20 and work well enough for water based
coolants. Simply stick one in a 5 gallon bucket with the return line
back into the bucket.

shrug...if you elevate the bucket to just below table level, they will
also work well enough for light oil coolants
