Using vacuum from benz for wvo sucker tank

My 79 240D runs on WVO, and while some may say this post should be in the alt fuels forum, my question has nothing to do with WVO.

I would like to build a WVO vacuum tank (sucker tank). Ideally would be a 20 gallon tank in the trunk that utilizes the benz vacuum system to pull vacuum on the tank while driving, and once at the collection site- close one valve and open another sucking the oil into the tank.

Is this a feasible plan? Has anyone used their vacuum systems for anything other than car functions.

Little unsure of my plan. Actually not my idea, read this idea on a wvo forum a few years ago. Always thought it was a slick idea.

Any responses greatly appreciated
