Abstract
A method and apparatus for removing a heavier liquid from a container having a cover and containing a plurality of liquids of differing specific gravities. A sealable access is provided in the cover and a conduit having an end positioned within the liquid to be removed is connected at an opposite end to the sealable access. A superatmospheric medium is introduced into the container through the sealable access to create a pressure on a lighter liquid which acts as a plunger to pressurize the heavier liquid and force it through the conduit to be ejected to an exterior location via the sealable access.
