So that saves draining the sump?
How does the hose get into the sump? Not knowing how an engine works but I thought it was semi-sealed around pistons and such like?!

The same way you measure the oil level Deano - you don't put it down the cylinder through the spark plug hole!

Nice find, got one already but a spare one is probably wise. Very useful.

Would take about 25 minutes to drain a sump, might get one however for pumping purposes

Yeah just put the outlet hose whereever you want the stuff going.
Not sure on the head but they do have some force on them, probably enough to get it up to a gearbox from underneath.
