FAQs

Match drainer capacity to the typical volume per oil change and the frequency of work. For automotive and light-van work, 20-30 litre drainers handle most engine drains. For commercial vehicles and plant, 70-100 litre drainers are standard — heavy-duty diesel engines hold 15-30 litres each. For high-throughput fleet bays, mobile drainers with 100+ litre capacity and built-in suction units reduce time per service. Drainer capacity is listed on product pages.

A coolant pressure tester applies controlled pressure to the cooling system through the radiator cap or expansion bottle to find leaks in hoses, the radiator, the water pump, and the head gasket — used diagnostically when there's a coolant loss. An antifreeze tester measures the freezing point of the coolant fluid (specific gravity or refractometer-based) to confirm the antifreeze concentration is correct for the operating climate. Both are common workshop tools, used for different jobs.

Generally yes for fluid transfer (oils, coolants, fuels) — drum pumps, transfer pumps, and jerry-can pumps work the same regardless of vehicle type. The differences are: (a) higher viscosity oils and greases (heavy-duty diesel oil, EP gear oil) need stronger pumps; (b) plant and agricultural equipment uses larger pack sizes (20L drums, 208L barrels, sometimes IBCs) so barrel and drum pumps with longer suction tubes are more useful than handheld units.

Replacement seals, hose kits, dipsticks, suction tubes, and filter assemblies are available for the majority of SIP and Sealey oil drainers and pumps. Search by the model code stamped on the unit. If the model is not listed, WhatsApp 07754288583 with the code and a photograph and we will confirm parts availability.

Fuel, Coolant & Lubrication Repairs

Fuel, Coolant & Lubrication Repairs covers the workshop equipment used to service the fluid systems of plant, agricultural, commercial, and automotive engines — the oil-change kit, drainage equipment, cooling-system testers, fluid transfer pumps, and grease-handling equipment that engineers use to drain, fill, flush, and refill the fluids running through working machinery. Within this section you will find Mechanics Oil Change Equipment (oil drainers, suction units, drain tanks), Vehicle Cooling Equipment (radiator pressure testers, coolant flushers, antifreeze testers), Cooling System diagnostic and service tools, Radiator Testers, Automotive Pumps and Fluid Transfer (drum pumps, transfer pumps, jerry-can pumps), Barrel and Drum Pumps for 20-litre and 208-litre containers, and Mechanics Lubrication and Grease Guns. The category covers everything from low-volume workshop tools (handheld grease guns, garage-bay oil drainers) up to higher-capacity yard equipment (pallet-fed drum pumps, mobile oil-change stations). Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of SIP and Sealey across the fuel, coolant, and lubrication repair range. Both brands cover the standard workshop kit — oil drainers and suction units, radiator testers, antifreeze testers, drum and barrel pumps, and grease guns — at trade-grade build quality. Product pages list capacity (typical oil-drainer capacities run from 20 litres up to 100+ litres), pressure ratings (for radiator and cooling-system testers), and pump output (litres per minute, for transfer pumps). Match the equipment to the volume and frequency of fluid work — a low-volume garage needs different kit than a busy fleet workshop running multiple oil changes a day. Trade pricing is available on multi-unit and workshop fit-out orders; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583 for a quote.
