Here's a helpful hint when filling up fluids on a vehicle,especially when underneath. Completely clean out a oil or transmission fluid, quart, plastic container.Get a rubber or flexible clear(preferred because you can see the fluid moving) Put a hole in the lid a little smaller than the outside diameter of the hose.I use a leather punch with a piece of oak underneath because drilling isn't very easy as plastic breaks.Insert the hose thru the lid and leave a couple feet or more hanging out the end. Now fill it up with desired fluid,make sure hose goes to the bottom of the container, put on cap and hose and you have a squeeze bottle. I've done this for years and it works well.Just put a bolt in the end of the hose to keep drips away. Works real well for thinner fluids( like filling a PW master cylinder!)Use a gallon container(antifreeze jugs) and bigger diameter hose for 90 w. Cheap and easy,Have fun, Kevin
