Harbor Freight sells a 5 gal pail pump that doesn't suck. I used it to fill my Mahindra with 8 gallons of hydraulic fluid without any issues. Way better than dumping into another container over and over again.

I use a big funnel, cradle the bucket with my right arm with spout up, and pour. No point in wasting time with a pump for 5 gallons.

If it doesn't suck, what good is it? Take it back for a refund.

I usually just pour from the 5gal bucket into a sizeable funnel over the machine I'm trying to fill. I hardly ever re can fluids unless I'm running out of space and have a clean empty oil jug.
