👆🏼that sucks balls

Yes it does. Using a loader to pick up the wood all the small stuff is naturally on the bottom. Next time I will ask them to pick the first load up and then dump it on top, and then pick up from the bottom again.

I can confirm the ALDI drill mounted pump doesn't like thicker fluids.
It struggles. And the shaft going into the drill is perfectly round and stainless so add a bit of oil and you've got no traction.
Unless you like friction welding .
MBs idea worked 300ml at a time ...

I use a long length of hose for the gear box, running up from the filler and into the engine bay, then with a funnel jammed in the hose. Then I just pour in until it over flows.

I bought a large plastic syringe what holds about 150ml and has a large dia outlet, maybe 4mm dia. I have used this on occasion to fill that last level point without having the fluid overflowing or ending up with the messy volume in the transfer hose. It works best when the oil is warmish, but when its thick and cold the effort to empty is significant especially in awkward spots. Its worth hunting down one of these I reckon as you can fill an entire gearbox with it, takes a while, but its very small, perhaps 30mm dia and 150mm long, and dead robust simple. It works with any fluid and just needs a simple flush out to reduce cross contamination.

I get a load of Redgum from the local garden supplies and probably 70% of it is tiny pieces. I will burn through this like no tomorrow. Atleast I dont need to split any I suppose.

Buying wood from any gardening supplies = wood chips. :]

Most of the suppliers around here prey on the fact that almost nobody knows how crappy the wood they sell is , I've refused loads in the past , son dropped me off a half trailer load of red box that was well seasoned probably over 12 years dead but still attached to the tree so was a massive branch .
I'm still burning it after nearly two weeks and next week I'm going to go looking for some more of this incredible stuff .

Last two lots weren't. They were nice big pieces that I had to actually split to fit in my fire place.

Ask 'em for a refund, or exchange.

Lol that means loading all back up in my trailer. I just have to make sure the next load isn't like this before they dump it in my trailer.

Half way through doing transfer and front diff oils ... Heavens open up ! Ok ... My fault for not checking radar.
Then my tom thumb pump breaks ... Great! Front diff I have room to tip 1L bottle up but transfer case I'm buggered . Oh well.

I always fill an old esky or bucket with hot water and put thegear oil drum in it and leave it in the sun untill I need it.
It makes it much easier to pump
