Fluid draining system and method

Abstract

A fluid drainage system is described for automobiles and other abandoned or wrecked vehicles. A vehicle is elevated on a lift and a puncturing apparatus is positioned under the gas tank. A protuberance on this apparatus punctures the gas tank and the gasoline in funneled through the apparatus into a receptacle. Pump tubes are inserted into the containers holding the brake fluid, power steering fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and antifreeze overflow, and these fluids are extracted into to individual receptacles. A lift unevenly elevates the vehicle and drains various automotive fluids, such as radiator fluid, transmission fluid, differential fluid and antifreeze. All of these fluids are stored in a common holding tank and are then pumped to a liquid, gravity separator, which separates the mixture into its component parts.
