In this area where it is common to fry whole turkeys in lots of peanut oil, it is easy to find empty 3 gallon plastic containers which work well for moving used motor oil. They are translucent, letting you see the level, they have a large, about 2", screw on cap into which the portable pump outlet fits easily and makes it easy to empty. A handle is molded into the top, and most important of all, they can be sealed well before carrying them through the saloon in the case of my boat. This has worked well for me, what I am not happy with is the dipstick tube method of draining the oil. My surflow pump (originally mounted on a 3 gallon bucket) and tubes did not work well, even though the oil was about 150 degrees the pump cavitated a lot, got very hot near the impeller and took forever to drain the oil. I admit this is all based on my one and only oil change, so far, on my recently acquired Camano, I will give it another try, if the results are the same at the next change I will look for an alternate method.
