914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914/6 oil tank- how to drain?

Posted by: rfuerst911sc Nov 27 2007, 05:02 AM

I have purchased a DW Design oil tank for my /6 conversion. If I understand the way the OEM/aftermarket tanks are made they do not have a drain plug like a 911 tank has. So if that is true how do you drain the tank when doing oil changes? Do you have to disconnect an oil line? That sounds like a stupid way to do it. What about installing a "T" at the bottom fitting of the tank so the one open side can be capped? Any other way to do it? Thanks

I have a T fitting. One of the three outlets from the T fitting is capped. I use that to drain the oil. Just be ready when you take the cap off cause the oil comes out fast.

Same thing I did and use. Works great and yeah, oil will come out fast.

Any chance of a picture of the 'Tee' piece.

I find it easy enough to split the lines between the two using the special wrench. Its not too messy after using the engines drain plug.....but I am poorer than many of you

Nice set up, Mike!
