|
|
Have been out changing oil in my many fuel operated things (ZT Mower, pressure washer, small mower, small (7KW) genset, tiller, etc) and when I came to the Honda EU 2000 that we use underway on the boat had some questions as to how to get the oil out of it. Found this neat video on YOU TUBE that I thought I'd share. Now heading out to make one and try it out myself! _________________ CHARLIE and PENNY CBRAT #100

Just amazing to me how people come up with simple and neat ways to do things. I'm just not that creative. _________________ You can tell a man his wife is ugly, but never ever criticize his dog, his gun, his truck or his boat.

A bit easier on the arms and back compared to the way, I do the oil change......I just pick up the generator and hold it upside down until it is all drained out. A guys got to get his exercise somehow.... _________________ Dave S.

I use something similiar to drain the oil from our Suzuki DF150 so it doesn't run down the leg and make a mess. Mine is made out of a piece of a plastic milk jug. _________________ "We can go over there...behind the 'little one'....."

I have one of the screw on aluminum fill adapters sold on Ebay but the pre-measured oil drop bottle thing is the way to go. With the adapter, I just push a piece of clear hose over the adapter end and then don't face the risk of having "loose PVC pipe" disease!
