<p>A device for draining and collecting sump oil from a motor vehicle has a drain plug which is closed by a ball valve or rupturable membrane. Oil is drained from the sump by inserting a drain spigot into the plug body to open the valve, or to rupture the membrane, so that oil drains through a hose connected to the spigot into a shallow vessel which may be located beneath the vehicle. The vessel may be pyramid shaped or may, for example, be U-shaped so as to afford a clear working space beneath the sump. Two of the pyramid-shaped vessels may be held together base-to-base, one vessel being filled with fresh oil for sump replenishment.</p> |
