Re: [MBZ] Oil Extractor

That does look like a good idea! I have one of these on the Cessna - https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/safOilDrainValves_06-00637.php which makes an oil change on it easy - push up and rotate and the oil comes out. The oil in the Cessna gets changed more often than the truck, so even

Home despot, lows and HF all want $5-7 for plastic bucket with a lid now.   The sad thing is that they will collapse with vacuum.   I can get Brill icing buckets form the grocery bakery for the price of washing them out. I like the idea of using a 20 lb propane tank.   the dumps are littered
