Could I use this to siphon oil (10w-30) from a lawn mower? Would it fit a standard size oil opening?

The siphon end is angled and one inch diameter. I have a smaller siphon pump with 1/2 inch end. This pump will fit inside a kerosene can or similar container. I'm not sure the diameter you are referring to. I hope this helps.

the tube is 16" long with a 1" diameter. works good on liquids... not so sure about oil if it's cold and thick. I'd think that, in a lawnmower, the oil gets warm enough to thin out, but not THAT hot.

Use a pig funnel shaped in such a way as to pour the oil off into an appropriate container. You will likely need an assistant for this.

I don't think it could vibrate open, but it isn't as secure as a drain plug. It's mostly just plastic and I have had the plastic end of it get bumped and pop off. I didn't make it one full season to ever see the value in it before I had to go back to the standard plug. Measure in front of your oil plug and see if you have 3 inches of protected space. If it's in a spot that won't likely get touched, you'll be fine.

Absolutely - but don't overload it, otherwise you will have to pull the plunger up. This may not be a problem for the Standard Sized model.

I would believe it should but can not say for sure. We use it for a solvent however once you add the pressure as long as it is a very light oil.

This tool is made to work on oil filters that are about 3 to 6 inches in diameter. I think this tool is too large to grab onto something that is only 1.5 inches in diameter.

The outside diameter of the tube is 7/8 of an inch - inside 5/8 of an inch. As I said in my review the tube was too large to fit down the oil tube of my lawn mower but I inserted a tube from a spray bottle I had into the vac tube and then duct taped it. Worked great

I would check motor specs for oil in each motor. This oil would fine in a snow blower or mower.

It is 1.4 gallons. My mower is a Murray and probably would not fit. If yours is 2.8 gallons this one probably is too small. Sorry not willing to uninstall to measure it.

not sure , but one thing to watch for is the length of the intermediate shaft that ties the oil pump to to distributor. u can buy different length shafts tho.

I'm not sure it would fit. The smallest funnel has a very small opening. I'm not sure what size the sucker stick is either. I got them to fill essential oil bottles, but the smallest funnel is not very useful, b/c it takes a long time waiting for the oil to drain through it. The medium might work. They are really handy for other things and I think they are reasonably priced, so I'd order them & give it a try.

I never tried mine on oil removal but it works fine for removing gas from the tank at the end of the season, etc. If you do use it for oil, it will be a real pain to try to clean everything out before you can use it again for gas...

Hello, The diameter of this brush is approximately 2.5 inches in diameter, so I don't think it will fit within the opening of your bottle. Please contact us if you need additional information or assistance. Shelia

There really is no specific size any size shall work. The siphon hose you have is a standard size and almost never vary. Ive owned this kit for over a year still brewing beer in it as often as I can. Like you i decided an auto siphon would make life 10 easier. I just went to my LHBS and found an auto siphon for a bargain. But back to your original question as long as you buy an auto siphon that's circumference is smaller then your carboy which is about an inch and a half you should be in good shape. Happy Brewing friend!

It will fit the opening but I'm not certain about the length. I can only half recommend this product. The 'fingers' are little white sponges. There are starting to undo from the main body, essentially it is starting to shed but since it's made of little sponges I'm concerned about it eventually clogging my drain. It does clean pretty well in general.

This for putting oil back into cutting boards. I would not use it to clean anything.
