Handy Siphon Pump for Removing Oil from Cannister

Home away from home

Hi Packard Friends,
I thought I would share a quick way to siphon out the oil in the canister of your Packard when performing oil changes. Harbor Freight sells one for around $6.00, less when on sale. This has been a valuable tool during oil changes. When I'm finished I simply place all 4 ends of the hoses in an old gallon oil container for the remaining oil to drain. To me this is so handy that if I had to purchase one of these for each oil change I would !!! I have attached a photo of this item. Hope this is of some help.

I've always had an even simpler and cheaper and more foolproof method: been using a turkey baster for 40 years.
? Never failed me
? easy to use
? no hoses to fit or unfit
? oil removed is visible
? tapered end fits deep enough to snork out gunk at canister bottom
? cheap... even now under $6.00
? available just about anywhere

Hey guys, get with it and don't stay stuck in old technology. I have an app on my phone that operates a suction pump, I can empty the canister while I'm on my boat or flying to Rio
