Claim:
1. A portable pump attachment interface for providing a fixed link between a first line having a remote end that is in direct communication with a fluid reservoir and a second line in communication with a mobile storage tank via a pumping mechanism, the interface comprising: an interface body having a substantially rectangular shape and having a bottom surface for resting upon a top surface of the ground; a conduit supported by the interface body to elevate and support the entire conduit above the ground, a back end of the conduit configured to be detachably coupled to the first line, and a front end of the conduit configured to be detachably coupled to the second line; and a spill containment catch basin formed below and in communication with a fitting access space, the fitting access space being formed within a top surface of the interface body, the front end of the conduit being disposed over the spill containment catch basin and disposed within the fitting access space, wherein the interface body is configured to be portably relocated from one location to another, while having sufficient mass by which to substantially isolate the first line from pulling forces exerted on the second line that would otherwise be of sufficient magnitude to reach the remote end, the substantial isolation being provided when the lines are attached to the conduit and the interface body is resting freely upon the top surface of the ground.
