7.3 IDI injection pump Now it works

[BrandonMag]

Bodies were shredded and human remains (people I knew) covered everything. Found a shoe, with a foot still in it.
Also, when I was a cop, I went to numerous suicides, including one with a shotgun to the mouth, head blown off, at a camping area, that had been half eaten by animals.

And that's the reason I'm not a cop, firefighter or EMT.

Make a polish with a gallon pickle jar and an electric pump. Run an input tube in about 2/3 of the way down in the jar and the dis charge side about an inch from the top. Solder the pipes to the lid ( jb weld will most likely work). Biocide the holding tank and turn on the pump. Let the pump run all day and night. Clean the sediment jar as necessary. A 10 psi pump is perfect, you just want to circulate the fuel in the tank and let impurities settle out. It may take 2 or 3 days but it will polish out the fuel.

Just sitting here and thinking about it, you could take a piece of 4" pvc say 16 inchs long and put a clean out on the bottom with the inlet ind outlet on a cap on the top, mount it vertical under the hood of a truck that is having contaminate problems and fine the fuel as you drive. It would make quite a pre filter settling bowl.

Does any body know of any big rigs that use big settling bowls? That wouldn't be a bad addition to any of our trucks.

burn it in my home made oil burner.....not sure if it can be cleaned up to use or not. If I had all the algae out of my fuel system I wouldn't try it. You might call a local shop that does injector pumps and ask them if they sell the biocide treatment and if that could be added to the fuel to possibly after filtering it?

I want to hear about how you made this homemade oil burner, also wonder if something like that could burn waste glycerine from the biodiesel process.

"I use WVO and glycerin and methyl alcohol mixture I get from biodiesel process, but sure could use any kind of oil. I get lot of heat for home and water heating, and don't pay for it almost anything (just for transporting WVO from restaurants)."

Simple to make them.

I understand the principle of a settling tank, but I'm not sure it would work with my particular strain of bacteria. Mine is like contact cement. Squeeze a little between your fingers, and you almost need your other hand to separate the fingers.

I first killed it using biobor. That left me with lots and lots of glue-like dead algae. Adding massive amounts of Diesel Kleen and other chemical dissolved some of it into the fuel.

But it was still there, and suspended into the fuel. I thought the filters would catch it, but it slipped through 10 microns, twice, and locked up the IP and injectors.

Perhaps a sub-micron filter would work. I'm building a filter assembly now, that uses two tightly packed rolls of toilet paper as filtering elements. The fuel has to go through both rolls longitudinally. There is no bypass.
