    Ok, so I am not totally sure how PriusShop works, but I think I DO understand that the forums benefit from sales, right!!!:p

    I saw long ago that there was talk of selling Fumoto Valves in the shop. Unfortunately, you didn't and I ordered three of them elsewhere.

    But, a friend wants one for his LINCOLN...yes...a gas-guzzler...and I told him to hold on for a few days....Any chance the shop will be selling them.

    I sent a note to "the shop" e-mail, but got some sort of form"ish" e-mail that was actually more insulting than helpful.:confused:

    I'll be buying one of those within the next few weeks. I'd be happy to purchase from here if they're available.

    They're not in the PC shop, but I just ordered one from quickoildrainvalve.com at 10% discount with coupon code YM4.

    Yes, they replace the standard drain plug. I have had mine for 4 years and it works great.

    They have changed their name, Ichabod mentioned their site and Priuschat discount code. I tried the one with a nipple and found it was too long.
