As Mr.  Smitty points out, it is ALMOST impossible to get all the fluid out 
of the TC.  However, I have been successful at removing all the oil by:
1. Have the TC  sitting on a table on its nose.
2. Using a "fluid sucker" (turkey baster)  continually sucking the fluid 
out of the center cavity allowing it to refill  itself. It took literally all 
day doing this. Ridiculous to say the least.  Benefit gained=zero.
