I find this bloke's videos are very useful.

I was using a handpump bottle from Burson or long hose with a funnel to pump gearbox/diff oil when I could've made his simple pressure pump bottle and save lot of time and effort.

It's embarrassingly simple and didn't quite cross my mind until I watched the ingenious bloke's video.
I thought it's a good thing to post it here for everybody's reference.

I'd worry that the air compressor would blow the s#$t out of the plastic container. Food grade PET is crap!

Vise grips...the guy uses VICE GRIPS!

Obviously you don't just hammer away on the air..
Pressurize it and turn it off and let it De pressurize. Once the oil stops or slows then hit it again..

Pressure gets absorbed by the oil as it moves along the hose. When or if it runs out of oil then the air vents.
I reckon that plastic bottle is quite ok as long as it's not super thin.
You can use a foot pump for the same pressure bottle with a simple modification.
Actually, foot pump is all you have, unless you have a 12V air pump.

Yeah, that's a safer way to do it.
