manholt Report post Posted April 13, 2017 Joe. My feeble, morning brain would like to know, how do you get the oil in the tank? Also, isn't 250 gallons a tad excessive? Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted April 13, 2017 Carl, drain pans, I usually take 15 quarts at a time from the coach, put the plug in, slide the other pan under and pull the plug for the remaining. My tank has a large vented funnel on top I can dump the pan into the funnel and let it sit and drip dry. My drain pans are 20 quart with 1/4 of the top opening closed off and a spout, similar to the photo below. I also poke a hole in the filter and let them sit up in the funnel for a few days to drain the remaining oil out. Its an old home heating oil tank, wall hugger type, got it for free.
