Fill-Rite 7 GPM/10.5 GPM, 12/24 Dual Volt DC Pump works good.
I am now using a Diaphragm pump that will pump up to 3/8th inch solids. You will need a pump that is self priming.

Where is the best place to get an inexpensive diaphram pump? The ones I saw were pretty pricey. Thanks Tom

I don’t know where you can get one cheap. I am using a 1 inch double pneumatic pump that’s $1200 new. It will flow about 45 GPM is you have enough air. The list price in Grainger is between $250 and $3400. The low end is ¼ inch inlet and the high end is 2 to 3 inch inlets.

The beauty of the diaphragm pump is they will pump anything.

I use a gas powered 2" trash pump bushed down fto 1" hose for easier handling. Works great even in the winter when the oil is really thick.
