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.

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!
