From having had to hand-pump a zillion gallons of motor oil a few weeks ago, when the oil cooler blew and the motor nearly filled-up completely with sea water. See a previous post for a look at the sludge which got pumped out. An additional 5 gallons or so of fresh motor oil was later put through the motor, to help flushing out all of the remaining sludge. The hand-pumping went on for several hours over 2 days. Not again. I sure hope I will never again face such a dilemma. To assist with future oil changes, I have now installed an electric, 12 volts "Reverso" pump, as a back-up to the hand-pump. A valve allows easy switching between the two.
