Abstract: A money saving universal fuel recycling machine has a reservoir for receiving fuel from a used fuel filter or other source of used or old fuel. A pumping device selectively moves the fuel from the reservoir through the filtration devices. Each filtration device has a lower portion for collecting water and other waste material for selective removal to a waste receptacle. The filter fuel that can be selectively routed to either a new fuel filter or a recycled fuel container.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing spent oil from an internal combustion engine and purging at least a portion of oil retained in an associated oil filter via air actuated valves in communication with a source of pressurized air. The apparatus has a waste receptacle and a venturi communicating with the waste receptacle for creating a vacuum therein. The air actuated valves include a timer to introduce the pressurized air to the oil filter for a predetermined amount of time to purge a portion of the spent oil in the oil filter into the internal lubrication distribution passage system.

Abstract: A dipstick oil change system is provided wherein oil to be removed from the engine is drawn through the conduit that encloses or sheathes the dipstick, The conduit includes a first opening positionable in the oil pan of the engine, a second opening that can be selectively sealed, and a third opening for receiving the dipstick. Oil removal means such as vacuum means can be engaged with the second opening and define a vacuum to draw oil out of the oil pan. The connection between the second opening and the vacuum means can include quick connect fittings.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing transmission fluid from the transmission fluid reservoir of a vehicle and the associated fluid cooler with an optional transmission fluid replacement includes a quick connect valve located in the transmission fluid recirculation system positioned upstream from the fluid cooler for selective connection to a source of pressurized air and a source of fresh transmission fluid. The quick connect valve restricts the flow of the pressurized gas and fresh transmission fluid in only one direction to direct the flow of pressurized gas and fresh transmission fluid through the fluid cooler and then to the transmission reservoir. A quick connect valve may be also located in a drain plug of the transmission reservoir for communication to a waste receptacle during the removal of the waste transmission fluid.

The fuel collection and rehabilitation device having conduits for releasable fluid communication with the interior volume. A pumping device selectively moves the fuel from the fuel filter to a collection receptacle and then through a filtration device. The fuel then can be selectively routed back to the fuel filter connected to the diesel engine.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing spent oil from an internal combustion engine and evacuating oil retained in an associated oil filter or filters which includes the steps of connecting an external, separable apparatus to the internal oil lubrication distribution system at a first point upstream of the oil filter, and at a second point in fluid communication with the oil reservoir; introducing a volume of purge gas in a manner sufficient to evacuate retained spent oil to the oil reservoir; and removing spent oil from the oil reservoir and measuring the amount removed.

Abstract: An apparatus for changing oil in a vehicle having an internal combustion engine with lubrication passages, the apparatus having a system for air purging the lubrication passages to expediently remove the oil. The apparatus includes a pressure transducer in the fluid line of the air purge system to monitor a pressure drop of the compressed air when the spent oil has been removed from the engine. When the pressure drop exceeds a predetermined value the air purge system automatically deactivates.
