Economy Portable Poly Oil Drains
JohnDow Economy Portable Poly Oil Drains are just the ticket for home garages and lower-volume shops where quality and affordability are the name of the game. Features include:

  • Available in 8- and 18-gallon capacities
  • Lightweight construction
  • 16-inch funnel
  • Four 2 1/2-inch diameter casters for easy rolling
  • Translucent poly tank allows for easy viewing of oil level

  • Gate valve for gravity draining (18-gallon model only)
Fluid Evacuator and Oil Drain Combos
JohnDow Fluid Evacuator and Oil Drain Combos remove used oil and other non-flammable fluids from any vehicle when conventional draining methods are not practical. It uses a combination compressed air/venturi vacuum system to remove fluids through special probes and adapters connected to the suction hose. This makes the drain combos perfect for European and other vehicles not equipped with drain plugs and for easily correcting overfills. And when the tank’s full and needs to be emptied, it can be done quickly and mess-free using the included evacuation hose. Other features include:
  • 20-gallon heavy-duty steel tank
  • 16-inch offset funnel with expanded metal screen to keep drain plugs and other debris from entering the storage tank
  • Six feet of discharge hose and seven feet of suction hose
  • Powerful venturi vacuum generator with gauge
  • 50- to 70-inch height adjustment
  • Two 4-inch front casters and two 7-inch fixed rear wheels that are oil- and chemical-resistant for longer life
  • Six suction probes and three OE-style adapters with storage tube
  • Sight tube for quick fluid level readings
  • Model JDI-20COMBOB is equipped with a 2-gallon transparent bowl that’s heat-resistant up to 212° F for checking oil quantity and quality before discharging into storage tank
Low-Profile Oil Drains
JohnDow Low-Profile Oil Drains are a more convenient alternative for draining fluid on heavy-duty trucks, buses, RVs, and other low clearance vehicles. They have expanded metal shields to reduce splash and long-reach T-handles to make positioning the drain easier. Plus, the T-handles fold up for compact storage.

Low-Profile Oil Drains are available with grab handles for manual tank draining or with an optional foot pump or electric evacuation pump for transferring used fluids into a waste containment system. Other features include:
  • Heavy-duty steel or lightweight poly construction
  • 7 3/4- to 10-inch ground clearance (depending on model)
  • 4-inch casters on polyethylene oil drains and 6-inch industrial casters on steel oil drains
  • Front swivel and fixed rear casters for easy positioning
  • Polyethylene oil drains have recessed drain valves for optimal protection and ribbed reservoirs for added support
  • Steel oil drains have enclosed reservoirs to prevent spillage during transport and a gate valve for gravity draining
