that is why i mounted a 12v PWC battery to it!!!

E-Z, im the new generation tech, lol

Quinner, thats the style i have and it works great.
I always tell the guys to grab the Johnny holmes super sucker, thats what i call them.

Boatdr, yes, that is the same fuel pump that you harped on the last time I posted that pic. If it makes you feel any better, it exploded yesterday. I still have the original '66 fuel pump with a glass sediment bowl on the bottom, it's not marine either.

Quinner just likes to pump it and suck it.

I stick my hose in the hole and then drain it.

Tim I am sure you have that non marine fuel pump there to avoid painting your new Coast Guard Approved Fuel Pump.
Tell me I am correct, and you will not be using the unit that is installed now..................Boat dr

I have an attachment also with pipe plug and will hook up to the drain line too, the pulling the cooler line is kind of a pita but works when you dont have the means to suck it out. but i thought about it for a while and i find myself always grabbing the suction pump and draining that way. as soon as the engine is done i stick the tube down the dipstick on the trans and pump it a few times and go on to the next thing while it is draining, im surprised you dont have a pic Pete, the one im talking about stands upright, no electric pumps, just a handle that you pump a few times to create the vacuum and thats it, real clean and easy and its a one time investment. I use it for everything including sucking up gas when you take a carb apart and i always find something new to do with it. a matter a fact one of the guy's used it today to suck out the oil around a spark plug before he pulled it

I have 2 hand crank plastic pumps, they go right down the dipstick tube to the bottem and work well, i have 2 so i can multitask...one for the engine one for the trans kidding aside, it will hold 2 or so gallons and over the years found it to be the best and easiest method for ME...of course adding a drain line is good method but then you have to worry about draining the trans

you put the tube down the dipstick tube pump it 5 or 6 times and walk away, come back in 10 minutes and they are drained

Easy enough.
Thanks.

That sounds like a pretty good method- but you may want to consider adding a quick drain hose next time. SkiDIM sells one for $26, and I bet you could build one for less.

Edit: Damn, I type too slow.

Just install it. When not in use, it gets capped and draped over the timing cover.
