Oil drainer pipe.

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello all.

 50hrs reached today on the fsib20 grinder.

Time to change the oil but...

Effing drain plug is inconveniently placed.

Not at poorly placed as a Quadchips, that really is a headache.

What is required is one of these:

Does anyone have a source of similar in U.K or E.U?

 

I found one on Ebay.co.uk but it's £70 with postage.

 

  Regards

Just undo the plug and let the oil piss out where it likes, stick some kind of pan under to catch the worst of it.

 

Tighten up, refill, then don’t worry for a year or two.

Not done an oil change on my machine, is probably (over)due. Yeah I'll probably do as mick says and clear up the mess.

The drain plug on my machine is the same, I had a length of hose with the right size fitting made up at a hydraulic place. Less than a tenner.

Why not take the plunge and buy one of those pneumatic oil suckers?

We bought one primarily to change the oil on Quadchips...?

[Ty Korrigan]

I could always nip over to Super U and do my oil change in their carpark under a street light.

Save me cleaning up my own driveway...

 Briggs oil suckering hand pump, are they effective enough to remove all the oil then?

I will add, I already f**ked up a simple oil change this year when the drain plug slipped out of my hand and blocked the hole in the oil catching device, spilling oil over the ground sheet and driveway.

Looks proper council now it does...

Yep, been there myself. You can't believe how quickly the funnel (blocked) overflows and the fuller it gets, the more impossible it becomes to unblock it. - a one man, self induced ecological cock-up. If you tell anyone they look at ya as if you're Mr Simpleton who shouldn't be trusted with anything more complex than a paper bag.

I use ez drain valves, they work excellent but don't fit every engine as they need space to be screwed/rotated and the tap sticks out. Think of this before ordering. They won't fit my lombardinis for example.
