Milwaukee 2771-20 transfer pump update. Pumps oil and diesel, updated video! 

I literally have to do no trial and error. Watched both of your vids on this tool and I'm ready to go to home Depot.

Im a hydraulic field mechanic, and this video convinced me to buy this unit since i have the milwaukee line of power tools and batteries. Thank you sir.

Be aware that this thing is not sealed in the vertical position and liquids can drip down into the electronics when you have it positioned vertically like in the video. It has weep holes on the underside so that when it's used horizontally it won't reach the electronics. I found this out the hard way and had to take it apart and replace an internal fuse.

You weren't half way through the video and I already had one in my Amazon cart! Thanks for the tips on the washing machine hoses as well!

Another excellent video, thanks! One exception to pumps which only use a rubber impeller is Jabsco; they use nitrile impellers in their bilge pumps, since boats can end up with all kinds of stuff including oil or fuel down in the bilges. Reasonable prices and they have some models with brass or bronze pump bodies instead of a plastic. Jabsco has been around for years, another reliable company.

I use my Milwaukee transfer pump for glycol and I’ve never had a problem. If I am close to a water source I’ll flush with water for a few seconds to purge out the hoses and pump itself. This pump kicks ass for a lil unit 👍

Thanks for the over view. I had no idea Milwaukee made a pump. That would be very handy around my shop. Thanks again!

I bought this (pump) with the intent of using as a diesel transfer pump. Hoping it would work. Put together the adapters, hoses, etc. But after spending the money for the pump and accessories I had my doubts. This video put them all to rest! Thank you

I might add a red headed step child into my makita family. Thanks for the videos. Great info.

This is badass, thanks for this video. I work for a Cummins dealer and we don't have a lot of the luxuries that most shops should have like oil transfer pumps and the like. This will be very helpful in our shop as we fill 6-12 gallon engines by hand. HUGE waste of time for our customers. Glad to hear this tings serves your purposes well. God Bless bud.

I'm a field service generator tech for Cat. I bought my M18 pump 2 years ago. I've only used it for coolant. Never ran anything else in the pump. It can move 110 gallons of coolant pushing from the bottom up in maybe 30-45 minutes. I will have to time myself next time. I noticed my pump one day about a year ago was pumping weird, I found one of the impeller fins was missing. It pumped out 110 gallons but going back in with the new it got almost to the bottom of the first drum and wouldn't pump anymore. I replaced the impeller and bought a spare. It's been fine ever since. It's odd that mine broke on just coolant!

Thanks for the review, exactly what I needed to know. Gonna pick one of these up for pumping oil. Just did some service work on a pipeline job, and at -33C even with the equipment running at high idle, the engine oil was barely warm enough to drain. This pump would speed things up so much! Thanks again

Just had mine last Friday. We'll be getting hoses etc for it this week👍🏼 Good video!

Thanks for the video. We have been using ours on some gasoline and it DID swell up the impeller to where it wont even spin now. However replacing the impeller had not even crossed my mind until watching this video. I was about to order an entire new pump.

Great job on your video, you answer everyone that has a question for this pump .

I own car washes and pump some pretty harsh chemicals through mine. High pH, low pH, ammonium biflouride, etc. I do run a 5 gallon bucket of water through it after, but it’s held up great.

I've pumped literally thousands of gallons of oil water a variety of contaminated fuels and more and have not had any issues with the impeller. Same here. I just cap off the lines and left whatever was pumped last inside.

Man you answered every question I had,,, I was on the fence about buying it but now I’m sold. Thanks

Thanks for doing this video. I've been on the fence over this little pump forever and this was just what I needed to climb on down to the right side! I'll still probably wait until I can get a deal on one, but get one I shall.

Great review with lots of details to questions the most of us would have asked!!! Especially pumping heavy gear oil, diesel and gasoline!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for the well detailed video. Here in Montral, i just ordered one at Home depot for 248$ ( tool only ).

Great news, thanks for the update. I was one of those warning about possible issues. Yes, nitrile and Viton are the rubbers of choice for petroleum. I didn't know what these were made of. Did the Grainger site ID the rubber? There's no test like a long term field test. I know your eyes will roll on this part, but what about the shaft seal? The reason I'm so wary is that I build spray systems. We started off with off the shelf pumps and found that some wouldn't last a week before impeller or shaft seal failure pumping pesticides cut with both water and mineral oil. We started ordering pumps with Viton seals and stainless impellers(for our centrifugal and rotary vane pumps) and haven't had to replace one for a seal or impeller failure since. I still won't be using one of these for gasoline because of the brushed motor and confined motor housing that could trap vapors. With oils and diesel it's not such a big deal. With gasoline it's, "Are you willing to bet your life on it." But that's just me. Thanks again. Great update!

I have a pump like this and I run a truck repair service. Motor Oil and Diesel I have no issue with. I know the pump wheel is nitrile coated which is great, not sure what kind of seal is on the pump shaft to the motor. I has lasted a year with no issue. I would worry about solvents or alot of gas. There again it has worked thus far.

Just what I wanted to see struggled today trying to pump 100L of cold gear oil into a piling rig today gave up with my drill pump had to result to a very slow poor into a small funnel taking nearly 3 hours. 😩 good to see the flow isn’t to much as well as filling reducers and track motors if I pump to fast it will blow out the hole.

Great review this is what RU-vid should be like.

Any knuckle dragging Mechanic that knows words like "cavitation" and "nitrile" and understands the real world applications is no dummy. Great video for others to have confidence in 'alternate' applications not specifically approved by Milwaukee.

If you're warrantee is done, you should put a plug on it and have a drop cable that connects to it with a momentary switch like a winch. You can lay under a vehicle and pump it and shut it off as soon as you are full vs having the pump near you to hit the switch on and off. Should be able just to tap into the existing wires without bypassing the factory switch. Have the drop cable on a plug to disconnect if you don't need it for a certain job.

Thanks for the video. I just bought one.

Gotta try this out on transmission oil!

Fuel lines have anti-static properties , a necessary safety feature . A static wire is enclosed in the fuel line !

how about the m12 stick pump can it pump anything other then water

I was planning to buy this pump for working on boats, doing oil changes and draining contaminated fuel! 🤣

Pretty sure they say it can’t do it for liability reasons of pumping flammable and possibly explosive fluids. Thought that was fairly obvious.

Mechanics always find a way to get the job done. It may not be the "right" way or the way someone else would have done it but we always gets the job done. Milwaukee probably knows that or at least is trying to make the best quality tools they can within budget.

I'm going to buy this pump now after watching your review of it,thank you. My question is,I have a 95' Chevy Kodiak that I need to replace the fuel tank on. And the replacement tank is a used one,what would you do to clean out the tank to have as few contanimates as possible?

Great video! Thank you for the information gonna go ahead and order!

Enjoyed your video. Very informative & with a layed back no bull shit. 👍

If you would have heated the gear oil a little, would it flow easier and faster with less cavitation. Another observation , if the pump were laying down as compared to standing, wouldn’t this also help with the ease of transfer???

Sold me, mines on order! Thanks

Man i wanted this pump but i didnt knownif it would handle 80-90 i do contracting for military vehicles and hand pumping 80-90 is just painful after a couple trucks. You sold me this pumo milwuakee should thank you for gaining them a costumer.

Thanks for the video, is very helpful

THANK YOU BROTHER!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this information

Great videos!! Your channel is super under rated!

😅 I bought a harbor freight wet dry vacuum to pump out a gas tank it still works and I didn't catch on fire

Thanks for the Review, I watched the first one and had the same question will it pump gear oil? Well done.

How about def fluid pumping through the pump.I’m new on here.Sorry if you have already answered this question.I’m really enjoy your videos

Im looking at doing mobile oil changes with this pump instead of buying an air powered lube skid to mount in my service van. Could i run this pump at the end of a 50’ reel for recovery? Im thinking if i had two separate pumps for recovery and new oil, i could install an in line flow meter to measure how much oil i pump out. And for recovery just drain into a pan and suck up into the recovery tank. Only thing im on the fence about is if i have oil tanks on a pallet in the truck i would need a long hose to reach the truck im working on. I guess i just need to buy one and test how long a hose i can pump 15w40 and still maintain a decent GPM.

Can it also pump transmission fluid? Also, what size are the female connectors for the hose adapters.

Thank you so much for making this video!!!

Best video ever. Thanks for the demonstration.

Thank you brother!

I pumped over 100 gallons of 220 gear oil no problem but uses batteries fairly quick. I even reduced the output down to 1/4" to fill small gear boxes. also pumped over 100 gallons of 460 gear oil! but!!! it would only pump for 30 seconds to 20 minutes then turn off. Just turn off then back on.

Milwaukee isn’t stupid. They put on the label “water only” so if you do pump oil or some nasty stuff and it goes bad then they don’t have to warranty it because you didn’t go by the book.

Can I ask where you got your brass barb fittings that screw on to the pump for the 1/2 I.D. ? Thanks

How is it at pumping used oil? Do contaminates chew up the impeller or housing?

Hydraulic fluid? Having slightly aerated motor oil is one thing, what about using it for hydraulic fluid on my tractor?

Why switch hoses all the time, just stick with the 1/2" and be done.

You think tgey wrote it because brushed motor can generate spark and cause a flash fire?

Interesting…. I’ve considered the m12 stick…. To do dirtier water….. but this seems like it may do it. I read this is supposed to do cleaner water…

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!

Very well put together review 💯

Great review! Thank you!

A great information video. My concern was did it work with gear oil, And you answer my question. Great job Keep it up .

Have you tested this on a vehicle? Connected a hose small enough to fit a dip stick?

That pump is fine as far as safety for gas

What connects are you using for the 1/2” hose you were using? I bought everything on the links you provided in the description. Thanks

Hey mate just seeing if it can suck out engine oil out of the dipstick tube? Thanks for the video.

super helpful

Always good to know 👍🏻

Thanks for the video really really useful

Hey Was looking for transfer pump for fuels and oil and glad I came across your video tutorial. Subscribed also. Excellent video

How long of hoses can you use? For Diesel fuel?

I was thinking of using on a tractor trailer to suck oil for oil change but for what i see i dont think that it will work..

Like the quality of Milwaukee tools. Had a el cheapo Chinese tool from Harbor Freight that failed.

Just picked one up hope it lives up to the hype cuz I'm sure tired of suck starting diesel and hydro oil drain hoses lol

Thanks for the great video 👍🏽

Cool video man, thank you

You can also buy an improved polyurethane impeller, thanks for the review.

Are battery included ? And or charger ??? How much total? Look like a neat tool to have

I'm supper interested in this idea! I'm a dewalt guy, need to do some looking!

What happens when you derestrict the outlet side tubing to a larger inside diameter?

Can you use it for Gasoline ? I need to pump out a car fuel tank

My wife an are using a transfer pump for slip to make molds. Its just watered down clay. I was wondering do you prime it with water or use the slip to prime it?

How would you recommend going about cleaning the pump before switching fluid types? Say your pumping diesel into a tractor and then need gas into ATVs Would you say before pumping the gas into the atv just prime it by pumping some gas out on the ground first make sure all the diesel is out of the system?

Will pumping oil , gas / diesel Void the warranty

Hello, would this pump be of suitable power to add and inline filter for the oil? Thanks for posting the video!

What about GL-4, GL5 or SAE J306? Thanks in advance, congratulations great channel.

Great video thanks

Considerations to use 1/2" hose for everything?

Hahah warm soapy water 💦😅😂 do you recommend I’ll handle rear truck gearbox oil tranfer and regular car transmission oil tranfer I had a 12v but motor seem to over heat and burn cost like 20ish . ?

I'm debating should I get this or the zuwaUSA drill pump, They are the same price, Zuwa is for industrial work, and they are easy to fix and it's smaller since it rely on a drill to run it. Anyone have any experience with the ZuwaUSA?

What size hose should be used for oil change on euro cars

My imeller was destroyed after trying to pump out a 50 gallon barrel of dielene

Has anyone had luck with the 12v stick pump for gasoline?

Great review, quick question I bought because of your review. Were would I get a clear hose like the one you had and what would it be called

Sold. Subbed.

Thanks for this wonderful video, I can see what you have done with it but for clarity purpose I want to know if this pump is designed to transfer water alone or it can also be used to transfer diesel and gas fuel. The second question that I will like answered is that does this pump come with the connectors for the hoses. If all these things checks out then I really need this pump and I will not mind the price because the price will not do what this transfer pump will do for me .

What is that little impeller used that comes in the box

How has the Milw pump been holding up after year of use?
