Portable "Oil Vac" Sucks Out Used Engine Oil

Portable "Oil Vac" Sucks Out Used Engine Oil ENGINES Engines 22-3-31 A hydraulic hose sucks used oil out o the engine oil pans and into the tank. After the old oil is removed you can hook up an other set of hoses to the second tank and blow new oil into the engine crankcase. "It saves a lot of time and labor and eliminates oil spills," says Gary Sage, Dalhart, Texas, about the portable "Oil Vac" he built to remove used oil from engines in tractors, trucks, and combines, as well as irrigation engines. Sage came up with the idea for his "Oil Vac" four years ago (Vol. 18, no. 2). He used it on his farm to remove used oil from irrigation engines. Now he's got it on the market. He displayed it at the recent 3I show near Great Bend, Kansas. The trailer-mounted unit is available with twin 125 or 250-gal. tanks or with a single 250-gal. tank. The single tank model can handle only used oil while the twin tank models can handle both new and used oil. All units are equipped with a 5 1/2 hp gas engine and an air compressor, with compressor hoses hooked up to one of the tanks. The compressor creates vacuum inside the tank. "It lets you contain used oil and recycle it with a minimum of spillage," says Sage. "An optional heavy duty oil filter crusher is avail-able to crush any size filter right on the spot,. The oil is squeezed out and can easily be vacuumed into the used oil tank." The twin 125-gal. tank model sells for $4,395.
