JohnDow Pneumatic Oil System for 55 Gallon Drums

Manually pumping oil out of a 55-gallon drum all day wears you out and slows down every job. The JohnDow Pneumatic Oil System for 55 gallon drums (model JDOL-55) mounts to the drum and runs on shop air, giving you steady, hands-free transfer for motor oil, synthetic oil, hydraulic fluids, and ATF. It's a complete system, not a bare pump. Everything you need to start dispensing is in the box.

A 3:1 ratio medium pressure pump keeps the flow smooth with no air bubbles or stop-start interruptions, and the differential air motor with heavy-duty control valve is built to run daily without babying it. The 10-foot delivery hose and oil delivery gun mean you're reaching vehicles and equipment without dragging a 55-gallon drum across the shop floor.
