No offense to the database administrator or the original photographer, but the photo in the database on draining the oil filter canister has always bothered me. Mainly because I tried using it and didn't have any luck. Steve3218 has tried to point this out in a previous thread. Please read further down in the thread as he used the data base photo in the beginning of the conversation, but posts additional photos to clarify the point:
My book on Hino parts has the same description shown in one of the later links in the same thread-
The bolt being pointed at in the first photo below (from the database) is not the drain bolt for the canister, but the bypass valve with alarm for a dirty filter. If you feel my statements are incorrect, please reference a diagram or other such source supporting your position. I consider the data base a very valuable resource and have used it quite a few times. As a newbie, it was the first place I went and ended up with quite a mess using the wrong bolt. Just thought I'd take a shot at it, Dean
