Collection Systems
 

Can you guys post pictures of how you set up the plumbing for oil collection. i have a 195 gallon tank with one bung and a water/trash pump 2" how do you guys keep ypur trucks clean? i want to set up basically a closed system were the oil flows in/out of the same hose so i can keep things clean....

I use a super sucker.. Like a giant wet-dry vac on steroids.

Pull down 20" of vacuum and open a valve. You can suck peanut butter.. just pressurize the tank to reverse flow.

Gotta have a pressure tank to do this.

Flash what kind of means to equipment do you have? Small generator, stuff like that.

I got a huge tank and a 5 hp 2" trash pump....

My totes have a forklift metal pallet under them. I just use a hose and fill from the top. Get home and unload with a forklift. Any plumbing you can think of will work.

I pretty much have the same set up except I use 55gal plastic drums to pump into.( easier to take in and out of the truck by myself) I use a 2" gas pump bushed down to 1" (easier to handle the hose) I use have a threaded on both ends 2 1/2' section of steel pipe on both suction and return ends (to hold the hose in the barrels while pumping) with a cap to thread on when done pumping (to keep any oil in the hose from dripping out when done) And I carry plenty of old towels to wipe off the oil on the hose's. I try to be as neat as possible but you almost always have some drips of oil on the tailgate and in the bed around the tank.

Old carpet dresses up the back and is easy to throw away later. Hmm? Mine is blue
