The present invention provides a fast connection between the two components that completely compartmentalizes the fluids.
Claims21
A fluid change apparatus for removing used fluid from an engine and inserting new fluid into the engine, comprising:
- (a) a first portion adapted to be connected to the engine;
- and
- (b) a second portion mating with the first portion and adapted to be connected to a source of new fluid and to a receptacle for old fluid.
A fluid change apparatus for removing used fluid from an engine and inserting new fluid into the engine, the engine having a new fluid port and an old fluid drain port, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) a first portion connectable to the new fluid port and to the old fluid drain port by separate connections;
- (b) a second portion removably connectable to the first portion and having connections to a source of new fluid and to a receptacle for old fluid;
- and
- (c) a mechanism mating the first portion to the second portion and connecting the source of new fluid to the new fluid port and connecting the old fluid drain port to the receptacle for old fluid.
A fluid change apparatus for removing used fluid from an engine and inserting new fluid into the engine, the engine having a new fluid port and an old fluid drain port, comprising:
- (a) an engine-mounted first portion connected to the new fluid port and to the old fluid drain port by separate connections;
- (b) a second portion connected to a source of new fluid and to an old fluid receptacle and being removably connectable to the first portion, thereby connecting the new fluid port to the source of new fluid and connecting the old fluid drain port to the old fluid receptacle;
- and
- (c) a spring-loaded trigger within the second portion making and breaking a connection between the source of new fluid and the new fluid port and simultaneously making a connection between the old fluid drain port and the old fluid receptacle.
