Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | I have a new machine shed with a finished shop on the South end. I am looking for suggestions on handling used engine oil.
In the past in the old shed, I caught the oil in various cans or pans and climbed up a short stepladder to pour the oil into one of those palletized shuttle tanks. This worked OK but was quite messy.
Now that I have this nicer shop/shed I'm looking for a clean and easy way to get the oil into the shuttle. I'm thinking about having the shuttle in the unfinished end and having some type of plumbing through the wall to the shop. The shuttle is fairly tall so just putting some type of plumbing through the wall and using gravity won't work too well.
I'm thinking that I would need some type of pump or possibly air pressure to push the oil up and through the wall. I believe I have seen some used oil collection caddies that are quite low so as to slide under trucks etc. but yet can be pressurized with air to move the oil out of the caddy.
I'm looking for any suggestions or pictures if possible. TIA |
