Anyone in Canada purchased this Extractor at Princess Auto? If so how does it perform, it's big enough for the oil change we do.

G) 2-1/2 Gallon (9.5L) Manual



Fluid Extractor
• Nylon tube dia.: 3.5 mm, 5.3 mm, 7.8 mm

Make sure you report on it ifen ya likes it

 

OK, I'll get it tomorrow.

I also want to drain the tank of a Mustang, how much is in the tank I have no idea. The fuel is unleaded, so you can guess it's been in there a long time, since 1976 actually.

It's a 1966, six cylinder model that my wife had when I met her. I always intended to fix up, but as time went on I lost more and more interest. Now my son who was not born when it went into its 35 year hibernation wants to fix 'er up.

My intent is to get him to move it somewhere .... anywhere will do.

I guess I could use the vacuum to suck it out. (?) It would be cleaner than using an ice pick.

What do you do with old gas? I have a friend who has camp fires at his cottage and he is an advocate of the old woodsman's method of fire lighting, a match and a can of gasoline. Anyone know an arsonist who wants some cheap gas?

I guess it may be OK in a lawn mower with some of that leading stuff in it, what do you think?

With the price of gas what it is, that tanks contents has appreciated more than my savings. Little did I know I was putting away some retirement income.

 

what do you hate your lawn mower that much
Burning it sounds fun, whatch the hair

Mustang would be a cool father son project for sure

 

Dave, I have the larger sized manual/pnuematic extractor from Princess Auto. I used it for changing the oil in the XF without issue. I connect it to my compressor. It was fairly slow (10+ minutes but let me enjoy my coffee while I watched it flow through the tube into the collector. It was really easy and got out almost every drop. Just make sure you release the filter before you start in order to maximize the drainage. I paid about $80 for it. I won't use it again until December.

You are welcome to borrow it if you like. Save the money for something else.

Also, on the matter of the old gas. Canadian Tire has a program for taking back used motor oil and they also take old gas if you put it into something appropriate. At least the service centre at Sheppard and Leslie has taken mine with a nod and a smile. Good old CTC!

 

Thanks for the offer John but I purchased it and used it, I put back 8 liters and the full mark was not quite reached. So I guess it did a pretty good job.

The kit came with a hose and shut of valve to suck brake fluid when you bleed the brakes and two sizes of extractor hoses. It is made in Taiwan, not mainland China. Hooray for that.

I replaced the filter that was put in by the Chrysler dealer with an identical Mann filter, both #HU 718/5. The Chrysler dealer one had the MB logo and part numbers.

As for the extra O-ring to put on the dip stick, my spare was too big, the one that would have fitted is the smallest in the pack of new ones and there was only one of them.

 

I purchased the Mityvac 7400 from amazon do to the fact that i didn't really have anything to lift the car up with and i am extremely afraid of the car somehow falling on me. It makes changing the oil extremely easy, but it does take a while to get all of the oil out. i am still not 100% sure if it is getting all of the contaminants left on the bottom so i think i'll take my car in the next time it needs an oil change.
