anyone using a hand pump to fill methanol tank?

I'm wondering what the easiest way is to transfer methanol from a 5-gallon drum to the tank in the trunk. Is anyone using a hand pump of any sort? If so, what kind? I just want an easy, no spill way to handle methanol.

Thanks.

i just transfer from the VP drum to a 5 gal gas can. You can just get a funnel with custom tubing. that should be easy enough.

I use a crappy hand siphon pump from pep boys for the moment. The location of my bottle makes it tough to get any kind of funnel or even funnel / tube combo in there

I put my meth in a windshield washer fluid bottle. I just use a funnel to pour from the 5g pale to the bottle. It's clear so it actually looks like windshield washer fluid
