You can pump with 2 psi of CO2, however sometimes looking at glass cross-eyed will cause it to break.

Now is probably a good time to mention that I bought the carboy from a guy who found it at a Pennsylvania Dutch antique store and that the bottom is date stamped "1938".

its pretty neat. i'll have to post a pic of it on here sometime. The glass has a very subtle bluish tint to it. The owner said it was likely used as a farm acid jug.

You could buy a diaphragm pump to do it.

Problem solved
Now I use the carboy/corny cleaner ah-la sump pump to clean most everything in my rig.
They aren't that hard to clean, really. Although I'm considering figuring out how to hook a CIP ball to my pressure washer  |
I had the same fear...
Below is a thread related to a modification I made. I haven't updated the thread yet but I changed the seal to a big silicone o-ring and found some decent clamps... it worked fantastic!

What do you drink out of a sippy cup? |

I've got a 6-gallon carboy with 1923 stamped on it. I'm trying to move away from glass (so far just cornies, but a full sanke makes sense when I hit 10g batches) but it sure is fun to use that old glass. It's and has neat small bubbles around in it.

Take a mag light remove the cover and tie a string to the end then lower it into the keg. You will be able to see everything. And after a good day or two of an oxy soak it should be gtg
