Stahlbus drain plug

Postby FJ111200 » Wed Jan 31, 2018 8:12 pm

Has anyone fitted a Stahlbus drain plug to their Custom?
Seeing as there is hardly enough room to get under the van to drain the oil the Stahlbus seems like a good idea. It's a valve that you just push a coupling onto with no need to use a spanner and the oil flows out via a tube into the drain pan.

I've bought one but not yet fitted it.

Bought it off eBay, for a bike really, but it's a M14 x 1.5 thread, and was £39.35.
The website I linked to lists the Transit Bus with the same thread, so I reckon it'll be good to go.

Yes, I was trying to figure out how it fitted all sizes of drain plug, and then I scrolled down to see the list of sizes available :roll: :P

Price seems good for what it is, but I've just invested in one of those suction pumps that takes it out through the dipstick, mainly because my cars all need undertrays removing to get at the sump plug, and they're too low as well :!:
It would be good on the Transit though 8)
