I am sure after I read the instruction book (yes I know  :thud) it states cannot be used for pumping petrol or diesel fuel ??? Martin

Hmmm... it does say on the advert "For pumping out engine oil, diesel and heating oil"   ???

The middle of Lidl changes twice a week - you have to be up quick to get the bargains.
You will often see people coming out with trolly loads of the "better" items - only to go on eBay when they get home  :shakeinghead

They ought to put a limit of 1-per-customer ???

Aldi are similar, except they do mail order on their offers  :first

It's very clever marketing as it draws the punters in.
These 2 supermarkets are on the up and consistently come out as cheaper than the tradition brands.

Craig, keep your eyes on the poster outside advertising next weeks offers or check website.
You need to wait for the auto type weeks.

Pumps are not for petrol.  To volatile.

No good to me then. I've got 25 litres of EP90 to decant into manageable sized containers.

Could do but a bucket of warm water will do it. My syringe pump is useless with cold oil but very easy with warm oil.
