That's a Hobbico Hand Crank Fuel Pump, designed for fueling RC Model Planes and cars. According to that link, it's about $11.
Other supplies needed:
Flashlight
Rag
Funnel
Something to catch the old fluid (and dispose of properly, of course)
Some DEX III or better ATF Fluid. I got the Advanced Auto brand for $3.49, but decided to go with the $8 Lucas Oil brand, for quality's sake. Keeping the Adv Auto as extra, for refills, if needed.
My friend's instructions (having done this method before, successfully) was "drain the reservoir, refill, drive around a little, repeat until the fluid is coming out red instead of brown-black."
So I set up the pump with a bottle to catch the old fluid. (Note: after the first drive-around session, things will be HOT so be careful where you put the bottle...) It was pretty easy to set up, but making sure the hose is actually IN fluid was a little rough at first, because I couldn't see inside the reservoir.
Once it's set up, just turn the hand crank until the fluid drains from the reservoir. It takes a few cranks to get it started, but once it is moving, it empties quickly.
This is how much came out each time:
Once the reservoir is empty, use a clean funnel to refill it. Pour slowly -- the reservoir is baffled and will overflow if you pour quickly. Use a flashlight to determine when the reservoir is between min and max. When it is, close everything up, and go for a short drive to pump the fluid through the system.
Note: You could probably sit in the garage with the motor running and turn the wheel from side to side and accomplish the same thing, but where's the fun in that?
When you get back from your drive, the fluid in the reservoir will again be a nasty brown-black, instead of the pretty red you put in. Don't worry...drain the reservoir again and refill.
Drive again.
Repeat as necessary until the fluid you're pumping out is a nice, clean red.
For me, it took four drive-arounds to get the fluid coming out red again. Then I topped things off, and cleaned up. Ran about a pint or two of water through the pump to clean it out.
Mmmmmmm.....Sobe Dex is my new favorite flavor. And some Dasani Dex-water to wash it down. That's how much came out, total. Little less than a quart!
So that's how I did it. I will be picking up one of these pumps. I'm betting they have it at Hobbytown USA or some such place. Handy device.
Whole process took me about 40 minutes, but will be faster next time.
One final note: Apparently, women find the smell of ATF fluid, especially used fluid, extremely offensive, so keep that in mind when deciding where to do this.
