    2" semi-trash pump for waste oil transfer?

    Quite a few years ago we used a similar pump to transfer water to a field sprayer... Never had a problem with pumping the water because the inlet side of the pump was only 3' from 1500 gals of water... The pump did have a small plug on the top of the inlet housing, which we'd pour water in to...

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    Yep thanks for the post rerun, do actually remember that thread some, but what I'm trying to do is piece together enough info that this type of small scale distiller is possible.... for quality sake. The little bit of searching I've done about "homemade" or backyard oil distilling it looks...

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    Thanks again for the info.... All good info, no rambling here... The bottom end of the distiller probably is mostly junk, in the videos it looks like the "main" outlet for "diesel fuel" is a little higher on the side of the unit.... Think in this pic the electric elements are on the back...

    Who's running W80/W90 full time?

    Acidburn, I'd also like to say, kinda like those manual valves only because it less electrical stuff to break.... I suppose I'm falling back on my "world going to heck thinking" or maybe I'm getting tired of fixing stuff as I get older.

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    Ok, the 110 voltage side I do kinda of understand, through the years of looking at my electric bill for the house etc. Then how does a person figure 220 voltage is just x2 or x2.2 of what 110 voltage figures out... Then I'd like to talk about if a certain "structure" of this mythical...

    Who's running W80/W90 full time?

    For my 2 cents, think starting & stopping on regular Diesel is a good way to stay away from possible coking problems. Having said that if your making short "hops" then it becomes more of a problem.

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    So now educate me, how can a person figure how much it costs per hour/etc to run a element like that...???? I know this method, distilled wmo, is gonna cost more then running thru a CF & other filters, but it's the quality of the final product that really keeps me thinking about this.... $200...

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    So Laser J, what kind of electrical element could a person use that can generate that kind of heat??? Just trying to wargame this would be project out....

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    You think the acidic level would be higher than "normal" wmo..??? Can a person check PH levels in wmo with normal PH paper, or check regular diesel fuel to get a range.. On one of the videos I watched, think the oil reformer video, they had a soda bottle attached to one of the discharges from...

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    Yep, the vacuum part would help a lot. Running a A/C vacuum pump vs. more power for heating units.... Another curious thing, there are 2 different kinds of stills. Waste oil distiller and Oil reformer, for the most part doing the same thing. Thanks for the info on 240v, thats kinda important in...

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    Yep on the electricity, one of the videos I watched looms like they use all 110v and no vacuum, just normal atmosphere pressure. But the finished product is what interests me.

    Anyone have info on Ferromit.com

    Haven't been on in a while, but I'm curious if anyone has any info on these "guys". Ferromit.com i think is a company from New Zealand, they have many items, but the things that caught my eye are the waste oil "stills". Watched some videos from people using these "stills" looks kinda...

    Injector nozzle diameter

    Ok maybe I'm missing something. In order to see inside the cylinder, would it work to run the bore scope thru the intake, thru the manifold runner, then if the intake valve was open (far enough) into the cylinder. Same route air gets in the cylinder....???? Going this route only if it does not...

    Injector nozzle diameter

    Ok good points, what about going through intake valve, how far off the seat does the valve lift?? (In this case mm) Take the turbo hat off the intake, then with camera on rotate engine until valve it at full lift.... Or I suppose a person could remove valve cover, then use something bolted to...

    Injector nozzle diameter

    In a effort to get a diagnosis of my stuck rings or glazed cylinders, need to know the diameter of injector nozzles. Or the size of the hole in the head. Because I've found decent prices on bore scopes online. But there are a wide range of sizes, 8mm, 7mm, 5.5mm. Thanks

    Anyone use FTC Decarbonizer???

    Can a person use the decarbonizer by itself??? And can it (decarbonizer) go in the crankcase or fuel or both??

    Anyone use FTC Decarbonizer???

    Just wondering if anyone has used this stuff? From a Australian company. I'll update a post I had a few months ago, about my glazed cylinders.

    '75 Merc. 240D - WMO Fueled

    That looks really good... It's nice to work on engines that don't have a ton of computerization... Maybe The Discovery channel will do a show about your ventures into older vehicles and using wmo....

    92 F150, 351W, & E3 spark plugs

    Should have added this, plan on putting a MSD tfi coil, replacing the cap & rotor, some upgraded plug wires. Also a go fast part had around for many years, MSD 6AL ignition box, unless the last part won't work with computer.

    92 F150, 351W, & E3 spark plugs

    Just curious if anyone here has used the E3 spark plugs?? Looking over the summit racing site & reviews on these plugs, and on 302 & 351 reviews look ok.

    Cost of a rebuild on a BW1356 transfer case...DIY

    Just curious on this, about 5 years ago had to replace the transfer case, and have the old one in parts, how much it would cost to rebuild myself??? Typical problem with it, ran low on fluid and burnt most of the internals. thanks.

    DIY Home Biodiesel Production: Make Your Own Fuel - Green Transportation - MOTHER EAR

    I would watch your outside temps during winter time. At about 30-40 degrees wvo and even bio diesel will get hard to pump. Think bio diesel is little better with cooler weather, but be careful. Canola oil turned into bio diesel is the really good stuff, from what I've heard...

    DIY Home Biodiesel Production: Make Your Own Fuel - Green Transportation - MOTHER EAR

    Its interesting to see more & more companies/people developing biodiesel systems... The chemicals used are kinda problematic?? for some people, I still think with a good heated fuel system/tank you could run wvo without doing all the chemical processing.. I know coking could be more of a problem...

    Help needed, newly rebuilt engine, now have lots of blow by.

    Funny you should say that Al, I made a comment to someone about this problem, that I need to drive it like my 18yr old son might drive.
