Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Engine oil can now be changed at the flick of a switch with the Fumuto oil drain valve. Extracting the hot oil from an engine is traditionally a messy business: fitters fumbling with hot sump plugs as hot oil gushes down arms. The Fumuto valve will keep fitters clean and dry.

The valve body is made from forged brass, with stainless steel spring and release catch turning a chromium plated brass ball valve. This ball valve turns against a Teflon seat. Turning the valve opens a 12mm passage, large enough to allow sludge and engine debris free passage from the sump.

Threads in sumps will last indefinitely, and the ritual of annealing or replacing the sealing washer can also be forgotten. The tap, which must be pushed in two separate directions to open so making it impossible to open accidentally, is ideal for regular sampling of the oil.

The valve is available to fit all major truck sumps, and the sole UK agent is Wallminster Turbo 94
