Default C3 Diff Fluid Removal
The C3 diff doesnt have a drain plug, and theyre repaving my street tomorrow so I thought it was a good time to change the fluid again.

I couldnt find my hand pump and it was getting dark... so I said fuck it, and I duct taped a hose to the end of my mini shop vac. Sucked that puppy dry in under a min. Then I just washed the vacuum out. The foam filter kept the oil out of the motor... winning.

That's creative. I use my shop vac to suck the coolant out of my engines when I pull them. That way it doesn't make as much of a mess.

Technically, I don't think there's a reason you couldn't use it suck out gasoline.

Though I haven't tried it.
