You’re thinking about getting a fluid evacuator for your business.
However, you want to know whether you’ll get any use out of it before you spend the money.
Here’s how to know if you need a fluid evacuator in your shop.
How Does a Fluid Evacuator Work?
Most fluid evacuators use a venturi valve that hooks up to shop air to create a vacuum of pressure to pull fluid out of a vehicle. Some DIY-type fluid evacuators come in a hand-pump style that creates a pressure vacuum to remove fluids.
Why Do I Need a Fluid Evacuator?
You need a fluid evacuator in your shop if you do oil changes or work with other fluids such as coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, differential oil, and power steering fluid.
You should have a fluid evacuator if you tend to come across damaged or cross-threaded drain plugs from a previous shop’s work. In these situations, evacuating the oil will save you from paying for an oil pan that was damaged by another shop.
It’s also good to have a fluid evacuator if you work on import vehicles such as BMWs, Land Rovers, and Jaguars. Many European manufactured vehicles don’t use drain plugs anymore, so fluid evacuation must be done through the dipstick.
What Are Some Other Fluid Evacuator Applications?
Fluid evacuators aren’t just for cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. You can use them to work on motorcycles, ATVs, boats, jet skis, tractors, generators, and off-road equipment.
Do I Need a Fluid Evacuator in My Shop?
Now you know whether you need to have a fluid evacuator in your shop.
If you deal with fluids, see a lot of damaged drain plugs, or work on import vehicles, a fluid evacuator is a must-have.
