It's really easy work, but so incredibly messy, no matter how careful you are.

I'd like to hear more about that collection system... all my previous sources just gave me the oil in cubies/buckets. This is the first time I'll be using drums & sucker tank.
What do you use to create the vacuum in the tank? How much vacuum do you need in the 40 gallon tank, about 25 inHg? Is the vacuum applied directlty to the 40 gal tank, or into a secondary vacuum tank? What size hose do you use to suck the oil up? I was thinking 1", but am now thinking that might be too small
Sorry for the flurry of questions, but I'm building mine this week, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
