Would a drill powered pump work with fuel oil? How viscous is fuel oil?

Fuel oil is nasty thick black sticky stuff. How ever I doubt that this is
fuel oil much more likely to be 28sec kerosene (paraffin), it's runnier
than diesel (35sec).

Drill powered pump suitable for fuels is probably the best bet. A 20 l
jerry can of fuel is quite a weight to hoik up to the top of tank to empty
it in.

I should have said 'heating oil' which is what the OP asked about. If this
oil is thinner than diesel then a drill powered pump (of the better, more
robust type) will shift this easily.
