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.

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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
