Fujimoto oil tank drain valve
- Thread starter BlackICE
- Start date
My FGT has dual dicks. It has another hose that drains the a/c evaporator's condensation to under the car. OEM the water drains to the front pan and leaks out wherever.

Ice, you may want to burn holes through you tube and cap and put in a cotter pin to keep the cap from falling off.
I don't want to drill a hole in it or some residual oil may leak out. If this falls off or leaks I will have to replace it with a barb fitting covered with a female NPT cap. It does fit nicely and I am hoping that the fiction will keep in on.
Methanol is probably even worst than C16. I think it would be great to use for a 80 to 90% oil change if you are running corrosive fuels and don't want to put the car on the lift and remove the belly pans. Just stick a container under the car and turn the valve from the topside. It still would be a good idea to remove the pans once in while to inspect stuff.Clinton you sample your oil?thats an awesome trick and for someone who is running c16 and needs to change the oil constantly is a great tip, really appreciate sharing this.
I was planning on sampling the oil through there but am having 2nd thoughts. Everything I read say not to reuse the tubing, I would be doing that. So I think I will use a suction pump and use the valve only to change oil neatly.

Great idea, I had thought of this but wasnt sure what type valve to use so thanks for the post and as mentioned in an above post no matter how careful iI am I still seem to make a mess draining the oil

I just did the cleanest oil change I've ever done on the GT.
Popped a hose on the valve, zipped down a hose clamp to be safe, and opened the valve. All the oil went in the bucket, none on the frame or the lift.
I was so happy, I almost forgot to pull the 2 drain plugs in the pan.
Thanks again for the great tip!!!

I've had good luck with this, which allows me to still use the accufab plugs with magnets. Funnel seems to be out of production, maybe some still out there.

Do you have a photo of how you routed this funnel from the dry sump so oil didn't get all over the frame, etc.?
The Fumoto website under F-GT '05/'06 shows F106N not F107N ?

I bought both the Fumoto and GT Tech's version. I have not installed either yet due to other unrelated BS, but I'm thinking that GT Tech's is the more elegant solution frankly.
And a couple versions of Pig's malleable funnels as additional backup too

Elegant but much more expensive IMO.
During my last oil change, I installed the Fumoto F107N and it fit perfectly.

Same here, installed a F107N on both the Ford GT and Morgan M3W.
Very simple and effective solution.
