Water Pump wanted to pump water out of a large barrel in to smaller ones?

Hi I am wanting a small pump to pump water out of barrels in to smaller 25 litre ones, I only want a cheap one, it can be 12v powered via a car cig lighter or electric, is there anything that will do this for me?

I picked up one of these for about £10 from Maplin when they were selling them off

Take the shower head off and they run from a car adaptor.

Hi, this looks just what I am looking for, I could have a number of users for the, can you tell me how long the power cable is? Can it pump light oil and how wide is the filter, thank you for this

Be careful if using it for flammable liquids, sparking motor could cause an explosion. Water and light oil are very different.

not sure it could do oil - it has a filter on it.

The lead on my one is quite long - about 3m IIRC. Plus the hose is at least 2m long.
The filter is about 2 inches diameter.

is what I would (and have) used, why use electrickery when gravity is free (but probably only because the !!!!!!s have not found out how to tax it yet )

A siphon is so easy to use, just a bit of plastic tubing.
