55 gal drum: What transfer pump to use?

I have bought fuel by the drum for years. Gas and methanol.

I use the hand pump your friend described. They sell for less than $20 and work fine. When the drum is near full....it will syphon and you don't have to pump it.....Takes maybe 5 minutes to fill a 5 gallon jug.

When you race a methanol powered dragster with fuel injection....you burn a lot of fuel and buying it by the drum saves a lot of $$$
