You can get them at any local autoparts store. I got one that screwed into the top of the bottle. It is a lot like a soap bottle pump and has a long tube that goes into the fill hole. The end of the tube also has an apparatus that holds it into the fill hole so you don't have to hold it. I think it was around $6 or so. Just go and see what a local parts store has in stock.

Get what Ken described if possible, shop around.

Most places around here sell something that looks like a cow inseminator and those are nothing but a huge mess, and gear oil is the last thing you want to get on you.

I'm assuming that you only know what one of these looks like because you're from Kansas... so I'll let it slide. 8)

On a serious note, there are ones that look just like a tube and have a valve on them that you turn (not sure if those are the 'cow inseminator' ones), but they're a waste of money. Get a pump one.

Try this method.

Go to a pet store and buy the clear air tubing for aquariums.

Drill two holes on top of whatever fluid cap your going to use.

Slide the tubing into the holes and attach one to a hand pump.

This might take a while to pump but its the cheapest way I can figure.

Go to a Napa Auto parts store, or even Kragen. They cost like 3 bucks. Not expensive at all :roll:

Oil gear oil smeels great.

No, Dave Attell's "Insomniac" show. They had him inseminate a cow. Despite living in Kansas I have never been closer to a cow than passing one on the Interstate. We just borrowed one when changing a friends diff and it got coined that, it was also enough motivation to go buy thie siphon pump kind.
