Putting EP90 into diffs

fishsponge · May 28, 2012

Is this exactly what I'm after or is it just right in concept, but has unusable fittings?

Faithfull SPRAY5 5L Pressure Sprayer: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

I know I don't need any fittings to fill the diffs up, but from those with experience, does this look absolutely perfect and flawless for pumping EP90 in??

Problem with using them for EP90 is EP90 is way too thick!

You have to warm it up for a while in a bucket of boiling water to get it to go.

What i do is get a 500mm or 1L drinks bottle, and a 8 inch length of hose pipe.
make the hose pipe a tight fit in the top by wrapping insulation tape around the hose pipe so it is tight but can be removed.

Then simply fill small bottle, pour into diff, fill again and repeat untill diff is dribbling takes about 10mins per diff. You can squeeze the small bottle so the thickness of the EP90 doesnt matter!

p.s i use a garden sprayer for the Gbox as the ATF is much more fluid than ep90 and takes alot more so you can put the nozzle in lock it in the on position and then make a cup of tea.

I use one of these from Halfrauds for filling axles and gear boxes - I know the drinks bottle solution is cheaper but this does the job perfectly.

The seals in garden sprayers are not designed or of a material suitable to be immersed in lubricating oils, so next time you use it the seals have failed.

Get yourself a specific oil pump/syringe or syphon.

No, sadly it's entirely wrong - EP 80-90 oil is way too thick for that sort of tool.

I use a 500ml syringe which works great.

I have an oil syringe but it leaks like fok and hardly draws any oil into it. (cheap ****??) So I use a 1ltr oil bottle with the tube in the lid. just fill bottle, stick tube in diff filler hole, squeeze bottle Job done..

Yup! That's what I use. For diffs and both gearboxes. I use it with EP, and ATF oils - all good.

Plus for sucking petrol out of my motorbike tank.

I use a MAC tools syringe, it holds 1L at a time and doesnt leak or dribble, its perfect and they aint to expensive, about £25 if I remember correctly..
