Oil Vac For Engines ENGINES Engines 27-4-36 Elmer Pinkerton, Elmwood, Neb.: "I enjoyed reading how Leland Saele of Forth Worth, Texas, used his shop-vac, a 5-gal. bucket, and a 1-quart oil bottle to make an ĉoil vacuum' for sucking oil out of his Honda lawn mower engine (Vol. 27, No. 3). Many years ago I had a friend who blew out duck and goose eggs so that he could make painted religious decorations. I made him a similar oil vac. From the lid of a 1-gal. wide-mouth jar I soldered in two small copper tubes that go inside the jar - one very short tube and another that's a few inches longer. Both tubes were kept separate from each other. A rubber hose ran from the long tube up to the vacuum line of a car engine, and another rubber hose ran from the shorter tube to the egg.
"To prepare the egg, a small hole was made in one end of it. A small allen wrench was drill chucked and inserted to scramble the egg contents. Then another hole was put in the other end of the egg."
