    Looking for oil drain pan with reliable non leaking pump to transfer used oil to disposal container. Must be min. 12 gals. capacity. All pans I saw so far seem to have pumps malfunction and messy outcome.

    I installed a drain valve inplace of the plug and using a hose I drain directly into the old jugs for easy disposal

    Every one I saw was modified by the user. One place had a transfer pump from the drag tank in a pickup truck bed. This was the most sturdy set up I ever saw.

    17-Gallon Low-Profile Oil Drain » John Dow

    Dont get an electric pump evac kit, they will not last with regular use and really dirty environment. Get the air evac kit or buy a stand alone diaphragm oil pump and just add a quick coupler to the drain cart.

    The steel carts hold up the best. Plastic ones not so much. If you drain hot oil the plastic gets soft and the casters sag over time.
