Nice little device with tubes and catch jars that can get almost anywyere. You can probably get one at the local autoparts hardware store. Mine is in a neat little carry case, bout the size of a timing light case. I have this one: http://www.toolfetch.com/Category--A...ic_Tools--Engi... HTH I'm hoping there's a cheaper, simpler alternative! That is cool though. -- John *H* Cheaper?? How much did you pay for the boat? Mine gets the most use if I overfill something... Anyway, I did not notice the price when I posted. I bought mine 20 years ago but some kind of suction pump is handy in any garage, check wallmart for a cheaper version sometime, great to have around even if you don't use it on your boat. |

complicated, just park the engine over a street drain and let it flow into that. You are not serious are you? Besides contaminating everything you can end up in jail depending on where you live. |

There are a couple left here who just want to stir things up, most of us completely ignore them. If you see a "suspect" post, and it goes unanswered, you can probably assume they are in a lot of killfiles |

I would suggest using an old milk jug or if that seems too complicated, just park the engine over a street drain and let it flow into that. Much less complicated than using an old milk container. I wonder what the fine would come to. When I was attending Colorado U the local city busses had a sign that warned of a $250 000 fine for causing a disturbance on the bus. Not to mention a good sized jolt of prison time. Casady |

Casady I dunno but a friend of a freind owned an oil company and filled a 250 gallon tank only to find the tank had been disconnected in the basement.. Dirt floor, downtown Essex CT... What a mess, they had to remove it all, lots of earth, what a mess. The DEP stood on their nuts till they did, then they had the fines. |

I was thinking of the neighbors yard. of course if your driveway is gravel you could drain it there and start your long waited asphalting project. |

Maybe if brain-dead Herring would look at his engine, he'd realize that gravity will drain out the oil and if attaches the right sized plastic hose, it'll drain right into a container that can be taken to a place that accepts oil for disposal. Any competent boat salesman would have introduced a new customer to someone in the shop who would have demonstrated the various owner-maintenance features. But I guess if you buy a new engine off ebay... When I change the lower end oil on my mercruiser[s], I save the old and put it in the lawnmowers crankcase. it's cheaper than buying more oil for a lawnmower. besides. Briggs engines don't need no respect anyhow... |
