Dad worked for a company that made air compressors and vacuum pumps. We used air to transfer liquids more often than most folks, I imagine.
He saved tons of money buying farm fuel in a 275 gallon tank in the back of the pickup and using air to push it up into gravity tanks. (Not really, but he thought so).
We did use a plastic barrel to transfer 28% N from the co-op home, to mix in our weed sprayer in the vineyard. Was definitely cheaper than buying a suitable pump for that corrosive product.
I agree with the others, largest possible fitting for drain plus an adequate vent should be easier.
I remember the company picnic with Dad in the 70's, the employees had a raffle sheet with times, and they hooked one of their pumps to a steel drum, and started to draw a vacuum on it. The employee with the lucky time closest to when the barrel imploded won the prize ($100, I think). The Owner/CEO was speaking about how well they had done for the year when that thing let loose, what a noise!

Flax provided the fibre which w
