Yeah, I had that thought, too, about staining, but I all of my original
teeth ('cept wisdoms), thank you, plus several crowns, of course. I even
still have an upper front tooth that was knocked out by a B-47 cowling latch
in 1958; held it in my fingers, went up in the airplane cockpit and used
pilot's rear-view mirror to facilitate pushing it back in place, accompanied
by lotsa squishing and crunching sounds. I often wonder how many times that
gets done and a tooth stays viable/useable for another 55+ years. 'Had root
canal on it fairly soon after the accident, and finally had a crown put on
it maybe 10 years ago.
Oh, I've never been much of a coffee "nut;" probably haven't had a cup of
coffee in 30+ years; drink too many Pepsis, though, I'm sure. Getting 6-mo
cleaning Mon.; glad I don't have Diesel stain on 'em.
BTW, 'nearly killed myself one afternoon in summer of '70. Needed fuel for
lawnmower to finish lawn cutting job; too lazy to go to ser sta; went to car
and tried to siphon gas from tank, never got the liquid in my mouth, but got
enough of just fumes that the valve at top of my wind pipe slammed shut and
I absolutely could not breath. 'Finally was able to force myself to get
very short little gasps, otherwise, I knew that I was gonna die. I had not
sucked on the tube with my lungs; sucked with just cheek action, etc., but
as I finished that and pulled away from the tube, I took a breath and got
fumes in my lungs, etc; LAST time I siphoned by mouth.

Yes, another reminder - it doesn't really take much power to get the
suction/siphon started. 'Could probably start the HOT oil siphon by

nature (atmospheric pressure) after the oil reaches top of the hump in
the evac tube, anyway -- after the siphon is started, one could POSSIBLY
remove the vac hose from the receiver, and let nature do it.

Hey Wilt, if you decide to siphon the oil by mouth, remember to take out
your teeth first. Wouldn't want to stain them!
Randy - who needs to go have his teeth cleaned - too many cups of coffee
