Easy way to check/fill TARR (or any smoker)

Post by tao »

I have been looking for a fast way to fill and check the oil levels in the TARRS. Absent a clear box.. which would be great.. I did something I also did with my RC hydraulic Excavator oil tank. Just use a larger syringe and add a thin enough tube to run into one of the smoke output main tubes (Or use the small hole with a plug at the top where the oil fill tube is) add a washer to allow the tube to go to half way (or what ever level you want) then just stick in and if no oil comes with suction.. it's low..add oil then just suck it back out until it stops and your at half full etc.
