Oil Change Pump
I am trying to find an oil change pump; after a total disaster with one from an auto parts store (it just didn't pump, only sucked in air through the numerous cheap hose adapters), I am looking for recommendations for a brand that will actually work. Does any one have experience with either of the following? http://www.shop.com/op/aprod-~oil+change+pump-p8204138 http://www.bartswatersports.com/catalog.asp?P=7295 A manual one would be fine as well. Thanks a lot, Chris |

Thanks a lot, Chris I have one of the big translucent plastic cylinder vacuum ones, it works well, and is simple enough to have little to go wrong. -- Jim Richardson http://www.eskimo.com/~warlock You live and learn.

After trying all sorts of combinations, I finally bought a vacuum chamber
bottle from WEST and have been very satisfied with its performance. The mess factor is greatly reduced. |

Thanks a lot, Chris I have one of the vacuum type units, a circular metal one that I bought at West Marine. It works quite well and I appreciate the fact that I can get it working and go away to do other things while is does its work. Those drill pumps need some babysitting. |

I have been using the drill motor pump hooked to my Dewalt cordless.
I have tried the others out there, and this by far works best, only about $10 for the pump, $150 for the Dewalt, but you probably have a drill already. Mike "Chris" wrote in message oups.com...

IMHO, the only pump worth a flip is the Jabsco 12V pump mounted on a 3
gallon plastic bucket. I had to change it out for a five gallon pickle bucket since my diesel holds so much oil, but I've had this thing for years and it works perfectly, every time, with little effort. |

You'll get all manner of gadget suggestions, maybe more junk to
unstow, stow & screw with. But why not fit a permanent manual pump & spout as has been used for decades? You could even make one fairly easily of pipe & fittings if you can't locate one, it only has to suck well to the height of the bucket. |
