Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) has been renamed. It's now CDO. Same symptoms but now the words are in order...

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
A guy once showed a unique drip control system. He had a tuna can mounted with bunjee cords under the flywheel housing. When parked the can was snug upright and catching drips. At speeds over 30 MPH, the windage caused the can to tilt downward, spilling the collected oil on the roadway.

I think you have something different than obsessive compulsive disorder. Yours may have been caused by over the top potty training when you were a small child. The slang term is "anal". Just kidding

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
When I first bought my truck, I bought a bale of these: I use them at home in the garage, but I also carry some in the truck so that when I go other places that I really don't want to "mark my spot", I can go away clean as a whistle. I also cut to size and place a couple layers in the "janitor" shown in post # 7 above.

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
Carl is right on with the janitor and the mats in post 25. Can even cut the mats to suit and place under the steering gear if it leaks or use adhesive back femine products which don't have aggressive adhesive. Haven't found anything other than the proper seals for the front pulley as of yet. Also we use Permatex or other white thread sealer on rear pumpkin bolts, water pump and other bolts that enter the engine chambers.

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
I put Race Deck flooring down in the Mosel A garage bay. Oil and grease wipe right up with a paper towel

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
At Cowtown one year a guy had 50 of those tin trays that was used to stack glass oil cans for sale. I bought the all. Sold half and have the rest in a stack in the garage. news paper in them and the are under each car. I hit them once in a while so they are kinda squished now.

Anyway, it does work well. It stretches the whole length of the garage under both A's and it picks up up all drips. (unless I don't park in the correct spot)

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
At a Reno Swapmeet, along about 1968 or so, I saw a nicely restored Model A for sale.
Here is what I saw listed on a FOR SALE sheet listing all of the car's positive attrobutes: "Rear Engine Oil leak works properly" |

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
Sorry, no pictures, but a guy in our club has taken the catch pan to the next level. He rigged a tube from the bottom of it to a hand powered pump that then forces the oil through another tube from the pump outlet back into the crankcase. The hand pump is mounted on the driver's door, so he can perform this recycling maintenance while going down the road.

This is it! It is rather economical from Office Depot. Can buy it by the foot.

Re: Do you use Mounted Dripping Oil Catch Pans?
When I used it, I lined it with oil absorption pads & just changed them out when they were soaked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
