Recommend a Hand Pump for Fuel/Oil Removal?

[Jacalore]

I have an inboard gas tank I need to empty, can anyone recommend a hand pump or drill driven pump to do the job?
Even better if it doubles for removing engine oil thru dipstick. Thanks.

Just get one that's fuel rated so it doesn't get eaten by the gas, and so it doesn't leak and cause a hazard. I don't have one to recommend, but the drill driven type looks like a good idea to me. I have a stupid hand pump that takes forever to prime.

I've had the best luck with oil suction from vacuum driven suction tanks. They would work for fuel also but on mine you only get 5 litres and it's full so it might take a few times to empty a fuel tank. Mine is a Moeller brand.
