American Forge & Foundry 24-Gal Waste Oil Drain & Evacuator (8895)

Description

The American Forge & Foundry 24-Gal Waste Oil Drain & Evacuator (8895) is a professional-grade solution designed to simplify the process of draining and evacuating used fluids from vehicles. This robust system handles engine oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, and transfer case fluid with efficiency and cleanliness. Combining both traditional gravity draining and advanced vacuum extraction through dipstick probes, it offers versatility for various automotive service needs. The unit features a substantial 24-gallon steel tank, powder-coated for enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity in a demanding shop environment. Its intuitive design, including dual air ports for pressure and vacuum, makes operation straightforward, providing a comprehensive and reliable method for waste fluid recovery.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Dual-Method Fluid Recovery: Efficiently recovers waste fluids using both traditional gravity draining into the large funnel and advanced vacuum suction through dipstick probes.
• High Suction Capacity: Offers an 18-gallon suction capacity with a rapid extraction rate of 1/2 gallon per minute, speeding up fluid removal.
• Large Collection Funnel: Equipped with a 16-inch collection funnel that holds 4-7/8 gallons, minimizing spills and overflow during gravity draining.
• Effortless Evacuation: Features pressurized evacuation of the tank, allowing for quick and clean emptying of collected waste oil with minimal effort.
• Versatile Probe Kit: Includes six flexible evacuation probes and specialized adapters for VW, Mercedes, and BMW vehicles, enhancing compatibility across a wide range of car models.
• Corrosion-Resistant Tank: The 24-gallon steel tank is treated with a powder coating, providing excellent protection against corrosion from automotive fluids.

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Position the drain/evacuator near the vehicle from which you intend to remove fluid. Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface.
2. Gravity Drain (for under-vehicle draining):
   • Place the large 16-inch collection funnel directly under the vehicle’s drain plug.
   • Loosen and remove the drain plug, allowing the fluid to flow into the funnel.
   • Once draining is complete, secure the drain plug.
3. Vacuum Evacuation (for dipstick extraction):
   • Select the appropriate flexible evacuation probe and adapter (if needed, e.g., for VW, Mercedes, BMW) and securely attach it to the suction hose.
   • Insert the probe into the vehicle’s dipstick tube until it reaches the bottom of the fluid reservoir.
   • Connect a 100-115 PSI shop air line to the vacuum air port on the unit.
   • Monitor the vacuum gauge to ensure proper suction is created. Fluid will begin to extract into the tank.
   • Once fluid extraction is complete, disconnect the air line and remove the probe.
4. Tank Evacuation (Emptying the Unit):
   • Once the 24-gallon tank is full or you need to empty it, connect a shop air line to the pressure air port.
   • Position the drain hose over a suitable waste fluid collection drum or container.
   • Apply air pressure to the tank to force the collected waste fluid out through the drain hose, emptying the unit efficiently.
