ARKSEN 20 Gallon Waste Oil Change Tank, Red

This is a quality unit that definitely made life much easier for me around the shop. Caster wheels & handle make maneuverability almost effortless. It's fully adjustable pan height & I installed a "splash mat" to help prevent "unwanted decorating of laundry", works great as well. With the vinyl sight tube you can monitor oil level & the air pressure assist feature allows off loading contents directly into my waste-oil heater, storage drum or portable container for recycling. I also purchased a "trans pan" with a "splash pad" that fits perfectly atop the original drain pan, and the combination virtually eliminated accidental misses & messes on the shop floor, saving me time, money & embarrassment !..... This unit is definitely worth the cost of admission. Caution: READ the directions & follow them, BEFORE using the "air pressure assist" feature to avoid explaining "how'd this happen" to the wife or burning the evidence !.... My only regret, not buying this unit years ago !

I haven't needed to empty the unit yet, so can't attest to the effectiveness of the pressure transfer system, but the wheel's alone are worthy of praise. The large back wheels and swivel front wheels make getting the unit out of storage and into position and back into storage easy. The mechanism that raises the pan is very sturdy. I'll update if anything changes, but given the size of the tank, I won't be using the pressure transfer system any time soon.

Update: May 2015- The seller contacted me to discuss my problem with this change tank. After sending them pictures to confirm the issue, they made it right and sent me a new one. Customer Service like this is very rare these days. The new unit works perfectly.. I am upgrading my review to five stars. With Customer Service like this,I would not hesitate to buy very nice design. April 2026- I like the overall design and the unit works great. However, just like others have reported I had a pinhole in the weld where the plastic hose attaches to the tank. I kept thinking it was the plastic hose that was leaking but after close inspection, it was a faulty weld that eventually leaked oil all over my garage. An oil draining container like this should not have bad welds. Its single job is to catch and hold oil.

Great oil change reservoir. I use this in my home shop and really like the ability to catch the drain oil quickly and with no mess. The casters and wheels are high quality and the tank rolls smoothly with very little effort, even when full of waste oil. My only nit-pic is that the pump out hose just barely fits into a 5 quart oil bottle, leaving no room to watch the level come up. ( my locale, homeowners have to recycle in the plastic oil bottle you purchased the oil in- or similar) Also there is no shut off on the pump out line- so you have to disconnect the air line to get the oil flow to stop- and that isn’t instantaneous. I will be installing a valve and smaller nozzle. Commercial shops won’t have any of these issues. Even with this minor inconvenience I’m very happy, it’s Well made, I’d buy again.

I purchased this waste oil change tank on 5/2025 and since it is for home use I did not use it a lot.. It worked fine until today when I tried to move the top large valve to drain the oil from the bowel into the lower tank. It was frozen solid. The unit is stored inside my shop and covered with a plastic bag to prevent debris from entering the bowel. This is the valve that is attached to the brass fitting at the top of the tank. Eight months of infrequent home service should not cause the valve to fail. Don't know if the manufacture can replace the brass fitting with the valve but I sure need help. If the manufacture provides help I will update this review. Update: I was contacted by the seller who asked that we please send additional pictures of the frozen ball valve. With a couple of days time I was shipped a new unit. Customer service does not get any better than this company. They stood by their product and did right by their customer. Thank you again. I will be buying from you in the future.

Works great!

Everything looks good except when I opened the small box with thw regulator in it black plastic pieces fell out and I noticed that it was broken currently waiting for word about getting a replacement regulator and if I am able to get it resolved then I'd be glad to change my review to 4 stars as if every thing would have been good from the start it would be 5 stars * update Got a full replacement everything good

Was much heavier built than I was expecting. Easy to assemble. Works well; no issues; should last a long time. Would buy again.
