An adapter system for use with an internal combustion engine flushing apparatus which permits connection to the crank case and the oil filter of internal combustion engines. A first adapter enables a conduit hose of a flushing apparatus to be connected with the drain plug port of an oil pan of the engine. In one form this first adapter fits within the drain plug port of internal combustion engines and a connector and upwardly directed hose are attached to the adapter. This adapter is intended to be permanently in place. In another form of the drain port adapter, the construction is relatively slim in overall depth thereby to facilitate location in awkward positions. An oil filter adapter includes adapter cap with an elongated threaded post which fits at the oil filter port leading to the oil filter adapter of the internal combustion engine. The cap for the adapter is connected to the post. The post is surrounded by a cylindrical ring which is part of the oil filter construction of the engine. A second conduit from the flushing apparatus can be connected to the vehicle engine so that a flushing solution in the apparatus can be circulated through and clean the internal combustion engine.
An adapter system for use with an internal combustion engine flushing apparatus which permits connection to the crank case and oil filter port of an internal combustion engine for introducing fluid through the oil filter port and draining of said fluid through the crank case, said adapter system comprising:
An adapter for use with an internal combustion engine flushing apparatus permitting connection of a conduit from the apparatus at the oil filter port leading to the oil filter adapter of the internal combustion engine, the adapter comprising:
An adapter system for use with an internal combustion engine flushing apparatus which permits connection to the crank case of the internal combustion engine for draining fluid through the crank case, said adapter system comprising an oil pan adapter sized to fit within the drain plug port of an oil pan of the engine to create a liquid tight seal with the port and an elongated conduit connected with the adapter, the conduit being in fluid communication with the adapter and being directed from the drain plug port and being intended to be located relatively permanently adjacent to the engine, and wherein the oil pan adapter includes a connector for threaded engagement in the drain plug port, and an elbow element engageable at one end of the elbow with the connector under rotatable action with the connector, and engageable at another end of the elbow element with the conduit, the connector being for substantially flush location with the port, and the overall depth of the connector and depth of the elbow being about equal.
An adapter system for use with an internal combustion engine flushing apparatus which permits connection to the crank case of the internal combustion engine for draining fluid through the crank case, said adapter system comprising an oil pan connector sized to fit within the drain plug port of an oil pan of the engine to create a liquid tight seal with the port and an elongated conduit connected with the connector, the conduit being in fluid communication with the connector and being directed from the drain plug port, the connector including a threaded portion at one end, the threaded portion being for threaded engagement with the threads on a drain plug port, the connector including radial key elements for engagement with radially outwardly directed fingers, the fingers being formed at one end of an elbow, the other end of the elbow being for connection with the conduit, the connector being for location in flush relationship about the port, and the overall depth of the connector and depth of the elbow being about equal.
