Thanks for the tip about the driveshaft being in the way. I got around it ok, but I just figured I'd utilize a universal joint on the extension next time.
I checked oilguard's site for an aluminum cap, but I didn't see it.
How do you guys dispose of the fuel you've drained from the HFCM? I mean the little bit I caught in the bottle. I think there's a good gallon soaked up in the t-shirt I was wearing.

The used diesel makes "Roundup" look like "Miraclegrow". I use it on weeds in the driveway, and mix it with gasoline and used motor oil to start brushpiles when I'm clearing land. One third of each makes a very impressive "whoooosh" when lighted.

oilguard oil cap
Just FYI, I e-mailed oilguard,this is the reply.
Happy to hear word gets around about OilGuard. Yes, we make a machined from
billet, Red, Blue, or Black Cap. Since an O-ring Seal must be used and
replaced whenever the cap is installed or removed from the engine, we sell
the cap with a Racor Oil Filter Cartridge which includes a fresh O-ring.
Price is (with replacement cartridge): Blue or Red - $81.00. Black -
$71.00. You can order by phone (760) 967-0892 if you wish. We also are an
authorized dealer for the 6.0 PSD Fuel and Oil Filter Cartridges. The price
info is on our web site
Thanks,
Roy Meddock

Hey Black,
Hey, I live in the outskirts of Houston also...just FYI, parking at the end of my typical residential driveway, backed in, with my front tires near the street, gives my truck enough of a downward slant to do the job easily. Also, whoever suggested that diesel does 10x better than Roundup was right!!! Not that I would EVER suggest doing that for fear of the EPA police

My driveway's so flat, it barely was enough grade to activate the surge brakes on my boat trailer. Really it wasn't the grade, but the bump at the street that would set them off. Pool tables have more terrain relief than my neighborhood.
Yeah, I wasn't asking the question about disposal to get anybody in trouble. I was honestly curious. It appears if I let it sit uncovered, my disposal issue will evaporate itself away.

Yup, Houston is short on grades. My friendly neighborhood Korean owned Texaco is more than happy to let me dump anything I want into their used oil tank.
