Hi,

Can you give me a hint on how to drain the oil from the apollo tank please?
following website suggest to use a 32 spanner to keep the tank in place so to apply enough torque on the allen plug nut to have it unscrewed.

My apollo tank doesnt have a 32 nut how do i undo the allen plug while preventing the apollo tank from turning with the nut?

Thanks

To be honest if it's causing you a problem I really wouldn't bother.

I drained mine using the method you described and got about the same amount of oil out as there is milk in a decent brew. I took it off completely over winter as I had the engine out and again got about the same. Over the total oil capacity of 7.5 litres with an Apollo tank it really is a minimal amount.
