[ViPER1313]

Here is the trick for pumping fluid uphill quickly without a ton of mess. You need:

Tubing (3 feet of small diameter fish tube works great)
Bottle(s) of fluid
Drill / Soldering Iron (or something to puncture / burn a small hole the size of the tube through the top of the bottle)
Bicycle pump with needle tip

Drill a hole in the top of the fluid bottle and insert the tube all the way to the bottom of the bottle. Seal the edges of the hole with some duck tape. Put a small hole in the side (near the top) of the bottle using a pick or thumb tack and put the needle from the bike pump in to it. Then pump away - the pressure forces the fluid up through the tube. You can transfer the top of one bottle to the next. Works great and no mess unlike the funnel / large tube / pour away / get half a quart all over the pavement method.
