Yeah. It's all good. If you get the Fumoto with the nipple, you can stick a hose on it. True it doesn't come with a hose, but how much is a foot of hose? Also it is entirely brass, so if salt doesn't corrode brass, the Fumoto valve is safe from salt.
What does salt do to brass? I wen't and looked and the issues on Sure Drain seem to be bad sizing info for some makes and slow draining (up to 15 minutes to drain engine). The Fumoto dumps it out in around 3 minutes. Sizing looks equally up to the eyeballs of the purchaser to figure out on...
I personally don't see any issues with standard fumoto valve design. If you don't want dirt getting in it, you could stick a rubber cap over the nipple. Frankly, how is dirt going to get into an engine through a small hole that is closed most of the time and when open has hot oil gushing out...
Instead of $1 a pop for compression washers, may I suggest a fumoto valve for ease of future oil changes? I have one on every car I own and they make life so easy.
I seem to recall Hydrogen is powerful enough to explode a blimp...it should do alright exploding in a cylinder.
And if this is true, why was there no news coverage?
I wouldn't go getting excited just yet...it might take them a few minutes to change the entire world's infrastructure over to H. Remember they invented fiberoptic cable over 10 years ago and HDTV about 20 years ago and we're all not on that stuff yet.
Look, I know Rickman personally, so I'll try and clarify what I think he meant:
The list is all the brands available locally (or that he's aware of on the internet). Anything not listed is not listed because Rick was unaware of it. If you know of something better please list it (He siad he...
I think most Asian cars have similar stock mags. They're all made in the same factory anyways if you look at the little cast character on them. At least Mazda, Infiniti, Nissan and Subaru that I've looked closely at.
