The floor paint is functional but I think the chips sprinkled in are more cosmetic than anti-slip. Anything I spill wipes up clean and leaves no stain. Brake fluid needs to be wiped up quickly though.

The pressure cap is a spare with hole tapped for a hose fitting. The pressure tank got me in hot water with the Mrs. until I replaced her garden sprayer with a new one. They're only $15 or so. The hose fitting I made also fit the brake fluid reservoir, but since then I got a purpose-made pressure bleeder small enough to hold DOT-4 instead of just air. The garden sprayer has a gauge, so I can test for cooling system leaks, but in this flushing application I'm just using it to force the coolant out into the Rubbermaid juice box with some speed.



Trap: You'll probably have to remove the valve stem on your drain the first few times you flush it, because rust and debris will collect there and block it.



I only bother with the juice box when I want to re-install the coolant, otherwise I drain it into this feeder bowl. Be careful where you store ethylene glycol coolant.



We didn't always have that nice garage floor.

How you put all this together will depend on the depth of your junkbox. Tip: Don't extend the periphery of your junk collection to the XYL's garden equipment. :)
