I originally bought a topsider because I didn't have any outside electricity at the apartment complex. Once we bought the house I started using the shop vac as its quicker. Recently I went back to using the manual pump on the topsider. Why? Its quiet... I find changing the oil with the topsider quite relaxing.
I would bet dollars to donuts the topsider hose is the same diameter as snowmobile/motorcycle/dirtbike/ATV fuel line. I've got both in the garage maybe I'll go see... I did and it is. The standard clear 1/4" fuel line is thin so the OD is a little smaller. The blue type is thicker so the OD appears to be the same or maybe slightly smaller but the difference is really small. -Curt Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 08:55:05 -0400 From: "LarryT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Vacuum Pump for Oil Sucker To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original you;re probably right - I'll try the shop vac before I do anything else. I have some hose that's a little on the small size - wrapping it with tape may allow it to work. Now I need to find one of the gas cans I have and modify it to attach the oil hose and the vacuum hose..
