Handy Devices

Bob Fromme, New Berlin, Illinois, wanted to make his oil-changing work a cleaner endeavor. To do that, he found an empty 2.5-gallon diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) container, cut out its bottom and screwed it to the wall above an empty oil drum. The DEF container makes a handy spot to store his funnels -- any remaining drips of oil from them is directed into the drum by way of the DEF fill spout.
