With the clamp slackened and pushed up out of the way I push a smallish =

trickling out. With a bit of card guiding that into a bucket I get on =

pondered getting a drain plug fitted to it as I happened to have a spare =
from an old V8 block, but given how infrequently I've needed to do it =
felt it wasn't worth the effort. The hardest job is getting the hose =
fully off and back on, and not much will help with that.
