  • Clandestine sampling apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5595152
    Abstract: A stationary or movable object suitable for holding a fluid can have the fluid sampled unobserved, and the sample is separate from the working and/or storage system(s) of the object. For example, an engine oil collection apparatus effectively collects engine oil during mimic of a normal oil change procedure, and allows for collection of samples without the sample going through the crankcase of the engine. The collected fluid, for example, the oil, can be set aside and/or analyzed for its composition afterwards.
