My local Hazard Fraught has one for $15. My dad bought a similar one ~ 30 years ago. It died after trying to pump hot oil during an attempted oil change. Part of the problem was driving it with a single speed 120 V drill.
If gravity will work, try making a version of the 'auto start siphon' with 1" PVC.

We use a cheap 115V transfer pump to transfer liquid nitrogen fertilizer from an IBC tote to a ag sprayer on a tractor. Going to get a little faster one when this one fails.

We have an electric pump - since I don’t need the water moved quickly, we are looking for, ideally, a non-powered option.
