Think it was time to change the filter?? At least it was the newer style that was in there.

I drained with the drain plug, pulled the inspection plug, let it finish draining, and replaced the drain plug. Is all the fluid from the canister supposed to go in there??? After getting most of it in, it just kept draining out. My left arm is all greasy now. Is this normal?

Default I think...>>

That the tube capacity accounts for a little spillage removing and plugging. When you use the top port you don't loose any (til the end) as you discovered!

That was my experience as well, but it was my right arm that was covered in oil.

Default Well...

as a matter of fact I am. Packing up the house down here this week, off to Mazatlan next, and then packing up the PODS container the following. I'll be up there the weekend of the 1st. I'll shoot you an email when I get up in the area and we can meet for a brew or two. Have you ever been to Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing?

Default I've not been there myself, I was going to do some diving down there, but

after checking around it's pretty much a consensus that the diving sucks down there. So I guess I'll have to settle for margaritas and shrimp cocktail for a week. Don't worry about me, somehow I'll make do
