Guess you're headed for the hardware store.
Always move forward. Never look back.

I use one of these to pump the water out of the tanks.  Hose to the faucet works to get the water back in.  I have a smaller one but bought this one because it said it worked as inline pump.  Tried it but couldn't get it to work. I guess I haven't figured out how to prime it.

I'm not afraid of work.  I can lay down right next to it and go to sleep.

You should be able to make the pump self-priming by putting a riser on the downstream side that holds water. You have to hang the end of the hose up when you aren't using it though, or the water will pour out.
