[AT] @$#@$#% Cub - red engine oil

[charliehill]

LOL I agreee Steve but like I said, I'm  in no hurry.  I usually pump off 
from the top leaving just a little contaminated oil/fuel in the bottom of a 
drum.  then I pour that off  into a 5 gal bucket or two and set it aside for 
winter.  Hey, some years we don't even get a hard freeze.  I MUST to be 
patient!
