An apparatus for connection to the oil input of an engine which facilitates the emptying of oil contained within a can into the engine. The apparatus comprises a cutting element connected concentrically above the side wall of a base by means of a stand. During use, the operator positions the can above the cutting element and pushes downwardly causing the cutting element to puncture the bottom of the can thereby emptying the oil through the cutting element and through an aperture in the base into the engine. The cutting element includes a rounded step to facilitate removal of the can after emptying. An orientation device is provided to orient the base with respect to the oil input to facilitate easy access to the cutting element. In the preferred embodiment, the orientation device comprises a downwardly biased sprocketed flange which engages a protrusion extending upwardly from the bottom of the base.

An apparatus for connection to a fluid input of a device for filling the device with a fluid contained within a container, comprising in combination: a base including an aperture in the bottom thereof and an upstanding wall; a substantially cylindrical hollow cutting element including an upper portion angularly formed to define a point for initiating the piercing of a hole in the container and for allowing the fluid to flow from the container into and through said cutting element and then into the device; a stand means for connecting said cutting element above said upstanding wall of said base in a position substantially concentric to said upstanding wall with said cutting element being completely, non-contiguously, positioned from the upper edge of said upstanding wall to permit the container, partially filled with the fluid, to be prematurely removed from said cutting element and held above said cutting element allowing the remaining fluid in the container to drain therefrom into and through said cutting element and about the exterior of said cutting element and then into the device without spillage of the fluid over the outside of said upstanding wall of said base; and means for connecting said base to the fluid input of the device.
