lol, you're right. sorry, i didn't mean to say just take the hoses off and let the fluid squirt into the fan. yeah, that would make a hella mess! i was thinking of taking the hoses off and letting them hang down into an oil drain pan. but i'm still not sure of how hard the fluid squirts out of there. maybe drape a rag over the hoses while there in the pan? i dunno. just a suggestion.
