Orion Motor Tech Lever Action Barrel Pump 55 gal 🛢️
Description:
This heavy-duty lever action barrel pump is built to move viscous oils and lubricants from drums with minimal effort, making oil changes and fluid transfers faster on the workbench or in the shop. With a telescoping suction tube that fits 15 to 55 gallon drums and a 3/4 inch spout, it dispenses up to about 10 fl. oz. per stroke according to the manufacturer, which helps when you need controlled pouring of motor or transmission fluids.
Key Points
The pump kit includes the lever-action drum pump, a telescoping suction tube that reaches different drum heights, thread seal tape, two wrenches, and a custom storage case for organized transport. The extended handle offers a firmer grip so you can apply more pressure with less fatigue. Materials are focused on durability to withstand repeated use in garage and maintenance environments. Consider that the unit is intended for heavy, non-corrosive liquids and is not rated for gasoline, diesel, water, or other corrosive fluids.

Usage Recommendations
Operate the pump by inserting the telescoping suction tube to the required depth in the drum and secure the spout outlet before actuating the lever. Pump in steady strokes to maintain a controlled flow when filling smaller containers or adding fluid to reservoirs. For thicker oils, work at a moderate pace to avoid splashing and allow the pump to prime between longer strokes. Wipe the spout and fittings after use and store components in the included case to reduce contamination and keep seals in good condition.

The kit format keeps everything together for mobile repair tasks or shop use. One nuance to note is that this pump is not suitable for volatile or corrosive fuels according to the manufacturer, so matching the pump to compatible fluids is important for safe operation. 🛠️🛢️
