Do you have an electrical system? If so how about one of the "clicker" pumps
like the Cherokee uses. They are made in uncertified versions that are quite
cheap. The Ercoupe O-200 engine installation STC uses one of the uncertified
versions to pump from the wing tanks to the header tank.
If you have C-75 or 85 why not fit an engine driven pump?

Thinking about this pump. Half a pound and $35

That one looks usable - about a 1/2 gpm
Looking at it reminded me that windshield washerr motor-pumps are
designed to handle alcohol mixes - the bugaboo of fuel pumps. Might also
be worth a test?
