The present invention is an apparatus for the transfer of fluid or fuel, from
a reservoir to a container, which may be a tank from which the liquid will be used
or a tank in which the liquid will be temporarily stored. The apparatus includes
a compliant base element, preferably having a tapered outer diameter and two holes
therethrough. The first hole is adapted to sealingly receive one end of a length
of tubing whereas the second hole is adapted to receive the intake end of a hand-operated
vacuum pump. Upon insertion of the opposite end of the length of tubing into a
liquid-filled reservoir, and insertion into and sealing of the compliant base with
a container or tank, the pump may be operated to negatively pressurize the tank
or container and initiate the flow of liquid from the reservoir to the tank or container.
