<VV> 90 Degree Oil Filter Change

[RoboMan91324@aol.com]

Chuck,

Good point.  The plastic that the bags are made of may dissolve in the 
presence of oil eventually.  The real problem is when using cheaper garbage bags or 
worse, the grocery bags you get at the supermarket.  These are mass produced 
with the intent of holding dry objects and not free liquids.  The bags are cut 
and sealed at the same time with hot tooling and fairly often, there are gaps 
in the seals.  This is OK for holding your veggies but not so good for 
liquids.  Using two bags is better but chances are good that you may use two bags 
that came off of the machine in close sequence.  If the cutter/sealer wasn't well 
adjusted or clean, you could have two leaky bags.  I have done the automation 
on these and other types of machines.  I suggest that you do a pressure test. 
 Blow into the bag through the top gathered together in your hand, clamp it 
and see if the air leaks anywhere.

On a related topic, some municipalities (and states) get really irate if you 
dispose of used oil in your trash.  It is considered toxic waste.  Take this 
into consideration when you dispose of used filters and oil.
