Frequently Asked Questions

How does this compare to other 16 gallon portable drains?

This JohnDow model features superior mobility with its four-caster system compared to basic two-wheel designs. The adjustable height from 50-70 inches works with more lift configurations than fixed-height alternatives. The heavy-duty steel construction and EPA-compliant design also outlasts lighter plastic tank competitors.

Can this work with pump evacuation systems?

Yes, this gravity drain system is compatible with pump evacuation equipment. You'll need the optional male coupler (HA-15242-00) to connect to most pump assist oil evacuation systems for faster fluid transfer.

What vehicles can this drain system handle?

The 50-70 inch height adjustment accommodates most passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs on standard automotive lifts. The 16-gallon capacity handles multiple oil changes before requiring emptying, making it perfect for busy service centers.

Is this drain system EPA compliant?

Yes, this portable drain meets EPA requirements for used oil collection and storage. The gravity drain valve seals when not in use to prevent environmental contamination, and the steel construction provides long-term durability for proper waste oil handling.
