[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 29633, member: 586"] While I understand some people wanting to make their oil tanks suitable for surgical procedures I cannot see how you can justify cutting a hole in the UFM. If a thorough cleanse with solvent and physical agitators (ball bearings, nuts, old cuff links etc) doesn't shift what is there then surely it is going to remain in situ with just a flow of non detergent oil passing over? Regular filter changes (with or without microscopic inspection and/or autopsy) should be sufficient in most cases. As Eric has discovered with the first flush that there was foreign matter (whether from an alien life force or vandal {a most abused tribe in my opinion}) and subsequently obtained an apparently debris free result I think he would be justified in holding off from cutting a hole. As usual my opinions are open to comment, ridicule and counterpoint. Now, Eric, I can suggest a few other additions to your garage; a set of artery clamps, a dental mirror, dental picks, assorted syringes (5 ml to 250 ml) and a couple of measuring cylinders or burettes.
