where i could've just hosed it directly into the jug, one less pan to clean. :shakeshead:

only problem is... my car does not sit high enough on my ramps for a jug to sit upright under it.
I've got to lean the jug over a bit, but it mostly works.
kenchan likes this.

the only jugs i keep are usually the Griots' gallon jugs or the 5qt motor oil jugs. they're kinda tall...

and i usually let it drip a good 10-15min so it would be kinda tough to hold onto that jug that long. im not sure i have anything that i can trust to hold the jug tilted sideways...

Use a shorter jug and just use two of them?
