That 12v pump looks like the ticket. Thanks for the link
I have to agree with you that it is not designed correctly if one can't even get a quart to pour into the filler. But to engineers it looks good on paper, in the field is where things must be done to either correct their mistakes or find a way to work around them, sad but true.

Our diesel I can pour a quart in with no problem, but trying to pour from a gallon container requires a funnel plus move hands than I have.
Pouring 22 quarts into the engine during an oil change is a pain.

So I was thinking of ordering that 12 volt pump also and give it a try.
