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

We've just switched from oil to gas and I gave our old tank to my
Brother-in-law for use as a spare diesel tank on the farm.
It still had around 100Litres of kerosene in it, so he transferred
that to his own fuel tank using 10Litre Jerry Cans under the valve.
Apparently didn't take that long and he was able to keep an eye out
for any sludge that might have been in the bottom, not that there was
that much anyway it seems.
