Bill,
<<I did stop at an auto parts store and asked if they had 12v oil transfer
pumps. Apparently they've never heard of such a thing. At that point I
was tempted to just get a 12v fuel pump which they would have, but I
thought I'd check the collective wisdom of the crowd here first. >>
Motor oil is considerably more viscous than fuel and puts a much higher load
on the pump. A standard fuel pump would probably not work. After many years of
use, your oil pump motor probably shorted some armature windings causing a
much higher amperage drain. Northern Supply, a machinery and farm parts mail
order outfit sells oil transfer pumps which would probably work well. Either that
or a small motor rebuilder might be able to rewind the coils on your defunct
motor.
