Default Moving Oil Storage Tank

I have an oil storage tank for CH, which is in the way of a wall I
intend to build. I intend to move the tank by buying a new doubled
skin variety, siting it with all the pipes etc and then transferring
at a suitable moment. How can I transfer the oil in the old tank to
the new? They will be about 10m apart. I have googled for various
types of pump, but they all seem to be permanent solutions and I only
want a one off


Umm. It might be that a cheap model aircraft fuel pump will do the job.

Albeit very slowly.

I'd probably try a siphon for the first half tank.

Then run the rest dry. Or simply empty it into cans and tip in.
