Product Description
Larger Capacity Fluid Evacuator The recently introduced Mityvac 07400 Fluid Evacuator is ideal for use in the shop or at home. The 07400 removes all types of fluid in a range of applications from cars, trucks, boats, RVs, ATVs and small engines. The easy-to-use 07400 Fluid Evacuator provides a larger, more durable reservoir than its predecessor the 07200, increasing the fluid capacity to 1.9 gallons (7.3 liters). Its larger base and redesigned foot stabilizer increase steadiness, reducing the chance for spills.The 07400`s durable pump handle has been strengthened to resist fracture and increase product life. Its unit handle has been redesigned with a longer, more comfortable grip, and the pressure relief valve has been relocated for operator convenience.The unit`s polyethylene construction is easy to clean and resists automotive and household chemicals. Requiring no electricity or compressed air to operate its manual pump, the 07400 is light and portable, and its built-in automatic shutoff prevents accidental overfill.APPLICATIONS: Drain engine oil or transmission fluid directly through the dipstick tube. Drain coolants from radiators, and brake and power steering fluids from reservoirs. Use with Mityvac Brake Bleeding Accessory Kit P/N 07205 to bleed brakes lines. Works great on cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, lawn and garden equipment, boats, and much, much more. FEATURES: Automatic shutoff prevents overfill. Durable polyethylene construction will not rust or corrode. No electricity or compressed air required. Large capacity 1.9 gallon (7.3 liter) reservoir. Convenient pour spout allows quick draining. Includes a 5` (1.5 m) long flexible main hose and two dipstick hoses for motor oil and transmission fluid evacuation. Convenient foot bar for increased stability. INCLUDES: 1.9 gallon (7.3 liter) Reservoir w/ Hand Pump 0.41" (10 mm) OD x 5` (1.5 m) Long Evacuation Tube 0.26" (6.5 mm) OD x 5` (1.5 m) Long Dipstick Tube 0.22" (5.6 mm) OD x 5` (1.5 m) Long

 Saw it - had to have it July 21, 2010
Todd W. Schuler (Ohio, USA)
My father-in-law had one, he was having fun with it changing the transmission fluid in every car that pulled into his driveway.
I knew right there, I had to have one. With 4 high mileage cars, I pulled this thing out of the box and went right to work changing transmission fluid in all my vehicles. I had been looking for a syphon to get fluid out of one car. Now I have one.
Saves the cost of paying someone else to change it or taking the proverbial hot transmission fluid baptisim.
Worked perfectly July 17, 2010
E. Berin (San Jose, California)
I read the reviews on Amazon; concerned about the various issues.
I bought it, had it shipped to San Jose, CA and arrived in 3 days standard free shipping.
It was easy to set up; just tighten the screws to make sure it's tight. Run car up to temperature, turn off, insert hose carefully into dipstick. Push a little further than dipstick until it stops (2007 Ford Focus).
I pumped it about 5-10 times, and continued to pump later. It seems to only require a few strokes and takes about 15 mins to suck out 3.5 liters (car holds 4.7). Some lost to consumption, other to oil filter (downward facing).
The reviews mentioned seals that fail due to synthetic oil; others say yes, others say no to the failure cause.
The Focus uses 5-20W oil Mobil 1 synthetic, so we'll see in 3 months how it holds up.
For now, it worked perfectly,
Great Product! July 7, 2010

I have a Mercedes C230 and this system worked GREAT for extracting the oil. This is a wonderful tool and it couldn't have worked any better. This unit was very easy to use and only took about 10 minutes to complete the job. Try it for yourself and I'm sure you'll feel the same as I do.
Look no further. This thing is awesome! And CHEAP! June 28, 2010

I bought this becuase I have a new boat with twin inboards. I would normally pay $100-$125 per motor so it would add up, as I like to change every 50 hours. This thing is so easy to use and NOT messy. Forget the battery powered ones. Forget going to WestMarine, too. They sell them for over double. I did this all through the dip stick. Great PRODUCT!
 Poor design/bad packaging = damage in shipment June 10, 2010
Jim P. (Colorado, USA)
I ordered a Mityvac 7400 7.3 Liter Fluid Evacuator on February 21 of this year. It was ordered as a gift and, because the shipping container appeared to be in good shape with no sign of damage, I made the mistake of wrapping the gift before inspecting it. It was purchased well in advance of the occasion for which I purchased it. The gift was opened this weekend during my mother-in-laws trip from Miami. The Mityvac Evacuator WAS indeed damaged in shipping and, when I try to return it now, Amazon's response is that the return window has expired.
The design of the device is poor in my opinion. The outer shell is a hard, brittle plastic. The box it came in was too flimsy to protect it during shipping. I emphasize the the shipping container had no sign of damage. Clearly this thing received a small bump during handling and the canister is so brittle that bump caused it to shatter. I doubt that I can find any way to repair it so that it maintains a vacuum, let alone the challenge of preventing oil or transmission fluid from leaking from the canister during use.
I'm very disappointed in the product and Amazon's return policy for this item. I'll certainly never purchase one again.
