You can buy an enexpensive venturi vacuum generator that will do the trick.
You
can either get one from Graingers or from many auto parts places. They sell
them
for air conditioner work. on 100 psi air pressure it will generate about 29.5"
of vacuum. The auto parts one I have cost $50. The beauty is that if you're
pumping something nasty (water, oil, munge, etc), there is nothing in the pump
to
get contaminated or wear. No moving parts.
