Actually I failed to mention the pump is supposed to work with ACs - altho I

You need a restriction to pull bucket bending
I just had a wonderful thought about using the venturi vac pump:
My air compressor has a regulated output. All I have to do it
dial down the air pressure to set the vacuum wherever I want it.
And the $8 vac pump is lightweight, compact, and I can probably find
a way to mount it to the lid of my

If the oil sucker pump pulls too much vacuum, reduce it with an additional

Seems like it'd be easy to get the hose (5/8 OD - 3/8 ID) and a gas
tank - then
