I used a 5 gal plastic gas jug which collapsed partially. So if you are
going to create a vessel it needs to be pretty strong to withstand even
a small vacuum....
Which is why I like Grants suggestion which allows the fluid to run
through the pump and only the tubing using the vacuum..

The vacuum could easily collapse Rich's receiver, too, if he allows
the oil tube to get blocked; may even collapse my kerosene can, also,
if I allow the oil tube to get blocked and the vacuum keeps running.
After all, atmospheric pressure is (big surprise) 14.7 lbs/sq inch;
doesn't take much power to collapse weak structure with 14.7 psi
sitting there ready, waiting and trying to crush it.

I used to use a five gallon bucket as a topsider before. The shop vac
creates enough suction to collapse the bucket.
