Does avoid the whole "sump plug" issue much like the vac extractors

I've used similar on generator engines Andy and in that application they're great, especially with extension hoses pre-fited with the valve at the end near you.

However what's always bothered me for road use is the amount of speed humps and the fact that these valves hang down below the sump.

On my recent MoT i noticed a couple of scuff marks on the fron crossmember of my 760, the sump plug on it is only ~1/2" above the level of the bottom of the crossmember.

If i'd had one of those valves fitted i would have probably ripped it off whenever i scuffed the crossmember!
