Sometimes you can use the laundry detergent pumps from the gallon or half gallon pumps. A pressure fitting, or whatever will fit in the hole will work in some cases. The fuel goes in the container though. Good to see some kids thinking instead of playing on the computer all day. (hey what am I doing now)

Tried that a couple of times (Yes, I'm cheap!) but found that it wasn't long before the plastic soaked up something in the fuel and the pump seized.

I'm on my third electric pump. I don't even use it any more. Just the old rubber bulb, The biggest one, maybe 6 or 8 oz. It works every time.
