YUCK!!! Look at this hydraulic fluid!

You can't tell how much water there was before that stuff started flowing. The tank has no drain so I have to use a suction pump. Right now there is an iceberg in the tank so im slowly melting that so I can get all the water out.

Dont you want to go the other way and freeze it so the water becomes slush and can be filtered out with a coffee filter?

What I mean is that I am melting the iceberg in the tank so i can suck all of that liquid out. I won't be reusing the oil but instead replacing it with new "Coastal Economy Hydraulic Fluid."

you pulled your oil out of the ocean in new orleans?

Looks like a drum to me.
So what's the deal? Why water in hydro?

Tank breather was left open.

Pull the hose off the bottom and drain.
Where's the intake?
What's the tank on?

Already got it cleaned out. Main problem now is that I need to rebuild or replace the ram. See my other post. I need some suggestions on what diameter to get. I think the one on there is about 4" diameter on the body of it. What is everyone else running?
