I've only known three men in my life that could lift a full barrel and put it in a pick-up truck. These men are built like gorillas.

this is exactly what the fil-rite diesel transfer pump at northern tool is for my friend. one end goes into the barrel and the other, a filling station nozzle, discharges into the bucket. about 135 bucks i think. runs off the battery or cut the wires and attach to a power cord plug.
