POL…
Y
ou’ve always had a choice to make with leftover lubricants.
You could throw away
what’s left (expensive) or keep it for next time and run the risk of contamination and
equipment damage (even more expensive).
Now you have another choice: You can keep those leftovers in portable containers
specifically designed for storing, transporting and transferring oil and other lubricants.
The containers prevent contamination, help avoid costly and dangerous spills, and
make lube tasks much easier, safer and faster.
The containers come in four sizes:
2-liter, NSN 8125-01-497-2353,
3-liter, NSN 8125-01-497-2350,
5-liter, NSN 8125-01-497-2346, and
10-liter, NSN 8125-01-497-2341.
A spout extension is available for the stretch spout
lid with NSN 7240-01-501-4580 and for the stumpy
spout lid with NSN 4930-01-504-1591. An oil pump
that attaches to the top of the utility lid comes with
brings a 3/8-in OD x 1/4-in ID pump reducer nozzle.
All NSNs should be ordered on a DD Form 1348-
6 with “NSN not on AMDF” written in the
REMARKS block.
Before reusing oil, inspect the container for clean-
liness and to ensure the oil you need is what’s stored
in the container.
Caution
Do not use the containers
for storing leftover hydraulic
fluids that come in hermeti-
cally-sealed packages. Once
opened, airborne dust, pollen,
smoke particles, and even
moisture from the air will con-
taminate these fluids past
their specification limits.
Any leftover hydraulic fluid
that comes from a hermetical-
ly-sealed container should be
disposed of properly and not
saved for later use.
