Plumb into the bung on top and turn in upside down. Not trying to be a smarty. What are you trying to do? That or would turning it on it's side do what trying for?

Buy or build one of these: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_18789_18789

or, eliminate the hassle of tipping and get this instead : http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_22732_22732

the pumps work pretty well, and are cheap enough.
