[QUOTE="peebeeaitch, post: 61981, member: 8318"] I manufactured my “suck bucket” from buckets and lids I bought at Menards. I gently heated the area destined for the vacuum port with a propane torch, until it became really soggy and then pressed the vacuum hose through. Same with the 1/2” port. I should have pressed the 1/2” hose from the outside and then flipped the lid over and done the vacuum from the “inside” - this will allow a little more oil into the bucket before starting to suck the oil into the shop-vac. The advantage is that the plastic stretched and “flowed” to form a long extruded tube which seals very efficiently. I fill up a bucket, take the lid off and place on another bucket - no decanting.
