what you can do is go to HOME DEPOT, and get some 2.5 inch pvc tubing(or larger) cut about 10inch section. then they have rounded caps you can use ovc glue to use as ends. but before you glue em on, you need to go to the plumbing section and get your correct size hose barbs and locking nuts. you can fill this tube with steel wool to catch and seperate oil for extra assurance. drill the holes, insert fittings, use some JB weld, or silicone behind them, to make sure they seal. and youre done, you can also paint it if you want to be creative.

this worked on my alcohol powered go kart for years

I dump mine to the ground. Emptying some container would probably require the removal of my UICP and maybe my battery and tray.
