Funny you should bring this up. Just two days ago I used my Mityvac to suck a gallon of synthetic oil out of a leaking oil tank in a Sea-doo. That stuff goes for about $40 a gallon so I wanted to save it.

For the first time, I used the Mityvac in the pump mode. I attempted to pump the oil from the Mityvac into a clean gallon jug.

While it was pumping, I brought my work laptop into the shop to Google replacement oil tanks. (I should know better.) All of a sudden, the little plastic tube from the Mityvac separated from the larger tube and started spewing synthetic oil all over me, my shop cabinets and the laptop! I leaped into action to reconnect the tubes and got oil everywhere.

What a friggin' mess!

Luckily, the laptop was only hit by about a dozen small droplets on the screen and keyboard.
