Todays Project - What did you do today?

Yeah, that takes me w-a-y back...

The last shop I was in had a huge furnace oil tank for storing the waste oil. Connected to one end was a large pneumatic dual-action fluid pump with a 1-1/2" hose and a quick coupler. All of the oil drain buckets/drums were fitted with couplers and dip tubes that went to the bottom of the drums. The pump would transfer the oil from the oil drains (40 gallons) into the large tank in about 30 seconds.

During the winter the oil tank pressure fed the two shop waste oil furnaces hanging from the ceiling. The rest of the year they had an oil company truck that picked up the used oil once a month.

Still had a similar problem though when the transfer pump would suck a drain plug washer out of the bottom of a drum and get wedged in the hose or the pump. Had to tear the whole thing apart to get it cleaned out.

That Mayhem guy - he's a pretty fart smeller...
