i read a few months ago from "bigboy" about using a valve stem and air pressure to pump (or push) fluid from a tank. honestly i chuckled and thought what a great idea.
well, about a month ago i was able to obtain two plastic 55 gallon drums made for transporting sodium hydroxide and so i finally went to work on this myself. whatya know, for about $5 a drum, i was able to assemble a great and sufficient pumping system. also, i just use a rechargeable air compressor you keep in a car. it does take a couple of minutes to get pressure, but after that, it takes about two minutes max top fill a 5 gal bucket.
so simple this was, i'm thinking of getting 2-3 more drums.
when i get my 15 gal containers for spraying chems, i may be doing the same thing with them with my little ole compressor.
for something so simple, this was prettty darn cool i thought.
