    Oil syringes

    I don't remember which clever soul it was who recommended a half-litre syringe for transferring fluids out of bottles and into diffs and such.

    Just had tcase oil running off the back of the syringe and up my nose.

    The original thread is buried in the archives, way to deep for me to find, so that person misses out on the long and loud thanks that I would like to offer to them.

    Would be just as easy to up-end the 4 litres over my head and stick my finger in the fill hole.



    Cheers
    Simon

    LOL


    the back of the syringe is sealed by rubber, is the oils bypassing the seal?

    Just a small correction.

    Yeah, something like that. I've also got a couple of grease guns with the same backwards leaking seal.

    Love it.

    Speaking of which does anybody know how to get their hands on a large "horse" syringe for injecting fuel additive into a fuel tank (not my landy but my mates 63 Val)?

    I've tried everywhere, even a vet!

    I use a 5 litre garden sprayer for filling diffs, t/case and gearbox. Just remove the spray end and insert tube, pressurise and away it goes.

    I have never had any success with syringes - on my vehicle I can't even get them near the gearbox filler because of the chassis, cross-members, etc. You're better off using ATF bottles with longer tubes.

    I use a pump bottle - Tom Thumb brand - that I got from the local AutoOne motor shop. It's excellent and I no longer get nasty-smelling trans oil on everything.

    Just don't put oil additives (eg Nulon) into pump bottles. They gum up the pump.
