The present invention is an apparatus for the transfer of fluid or fuel, including, in one embodiment a container where a flexible tube is associated with a first opening in the container and where a vacuum pump is associated with a second opening in the container. The vacuum pump, a manually operated device, is suitable for creating a vacuum within the container so as to initiate the flow of liquid through a siphoning tube. Furthermore, the vacuum pump is an inexpensive design and is not directly exposed to the liquid being siphoned or stored within the container. Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to the method of using a diverter and an end-weighted siphon tube, operatively connected to a vacuum source, in order to more easily transfer liquid from an enclosed reservoir.
