The quickdrain is great. Beware that if you leave it open for a while,
eventually the oil will drain around the outside of it and down the
outside of your tube. I've left mine to drain overnight before and
had that happen.

How can this happen? I bought a clear piece of poly tubing from the
hardare store that I put on the quick drain and then go home and finish
the job the next day. Never once in 9 years of changing oil has oil
somehow got onto the outside of the tubing.



I've got a few gallons of used oil in the hangar in buckets since I
don't drink enough milk to put it all out for recycling. One of
these days I need to schlep it over to the big oil recycling tank
at a nearby airport.


See if there's somebody you know that uses an oil burner to heat their
shop or garage. I have a 55 gallon drum in the hangar that friends
around the airport come and put their waste oil in. When it gets about
3/4 full i call my buddy and he comes and gets it.
