Just thought I would post this, it makes pulling the head off a snap. Without spilling a drop, plus you can put it back in just as easy!

PA has the fluid extractors, 8L and will suck what ever you want.... Stand up unit, works very well. Has three different hoses with it.

The plunger style in the pictures is not the 8 Litre unit I don't think. It looks like a 1L unit and they work for a little while and then eventually the plunger flap wears out. They work well enough for coolant but DO NOT try to use the PA one for removing oil or gas, it will stop working guaranteed, whatever sealing rubber they use in the plunger does not like hydrocarbons. :D Been there done that and then threw it in the trash...:)

I have had the same one for almost 15 years and use it for filling diffs, pulling out hydrolic fluid out of tractor, pulling out antifreeze......it works for everything.......and still works great. I think I might have even got it at Princess Auto. sorry modman....but mine loves hydrocarbons lol

maybe you bought the high end one. I just bought the cheapo one and it worked good up until I tried to suck some AV gas with it one day, it didn't like that, still worked after that but leaked a lot of suction past the plunger, a full 1 L stroke only netted about 400 mL of fluid. I'm thinking the fuel buggered the plunger seal but maybe I got a lemon?

The reason me and PA don't get along is I often times I don't use the tools for their intended function :D, and I'm too honest to take them back after I've wrecked something and lie to them and say it was a tool failure.

Works like a beauty. Drained ours sleds more than I care to mention last couple years and still have not emptied it or changed the filter.
Thanks Flabajaba!
