Product: TP69 - Oil / Fluid Vacuum Extraction pump with 2 Probes ( 5.8mm & 6.7mm ). Great for removing oil from the dip-stick opening, and has many other uses. 6.5L Vacuum extraction pump. Comes with 2 850mm long Probes (5.8mm & 6.7mm Dia.). Plus 1m extension hose. Probes store in holder on side of pump when not in use. Ingenious vacuum uses the pump to build pressure in the housing, and withdraws the fluid through the probe. Builds stronger pressure by pumping not pulling. Internal valve will cut off when full, meaning you dont have to stand and watch it. Easy to empty.
Ingenious vacuum device. Ideal for other liquids such as water and soluble oil. Supplied with Ø5.8 and Ø6.7mm sprung steel lined suction probes and a Ø9.8 x 1m extension tube. Probes can be stored in the holder when not in use. To remove oil from a car engine, simply push the probe down the dipstick hole and pump the handle on the top of the unit. Sets up a permanent fluid transfer while you do something else. Internal float valve for automatic cut-off when unit has reached maximum capacity. Avoids searching for drain plug keys and getting under the vehicle. Ideal for mobile mechanics. Unit can be tipped 90° for easier emptying. Model No. TP69. Weight 2.88kg. 6.5L Capacity device constructed from composite materials and suitable for the extraction of all types of engine, transmission and lubricating oils from cars, motorcycles, marine engines, stationary engines and industrial equipment.
This guide is for anyone using the Sealey TP69, a vacuum-based oil and fluid extractor. The TP69 simplifies fluid extraction from vehicles and equipment, saving time and avoiding the need to access drain plugs. A key caveat is ensuring proper probe insertion to prevent spills.

Troubleshooting
Extractor is not building pressure.
Check all connections for leaks. Ensure the probe is properly inserted and sealed. Inspect the pump for any damage or blockages.
Extractor is not removing fluid.
Check for probe blockage. Ensure the correct probe size is used. The fluid may be too thick or viscous; try warming the engine first.
Unit overfills.
The internal float valve should prevent overfilling. If the unit overflows, stop immediately and check the valve for proper function. Ensure the unit is level during use.
