>>>Actually, there are TWO tanks, and more importantly, two drain plugs!

I found this out when I offered up my garage to a friend who has an 
immaculate Porsche 911T, but who has never actually worked on it himself.   He wanted 
to change his oil.   We put it on the lift, he found *a* drain plug and removed 
it, then he started to fill it with 13 quarts.   Meanwhile, I was elsewhere, 
working on the Pantera.

When the oil started pouring out of the air filter housing, he concluded that 
perhaps something was amiss...:>)   After a draining of a suitable amount of 
(new) oil, he announced that the oil change operation was complete.   With the 
oil gauge on the dash showing just less than full, he drove off with huge 
clouds of oil smoke coming out the exhaust. :>)
