I haven't looked at that link yet but will. I went up to one of the local salvage yards to talk to the owner, who was a good friend of one of my long time employees about arrangements for his passing, and made the comment that I'd like to try one of those in the tank fuel pumps for this, and he said he would get a couple of them out for me since they have to pull the tanks before crushing. I'll go around tomorrow and see what they look like. The ex employee who passed was in his late 40's, and was the last of his family line, the whole family has had a weight and early demise from failing heart history. Both parents passed in their 40's, and his kid sister only made it to about 35. Sad. >If cost is no barrier you can buy whole coolant systems off the shelf, >this is a UK example. >http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=21084&name=coolant&user_search >=1&sfile=1&jump=0 Cost is one of those things that often make me want to prove I can make it myself. :) Its my old Iowa farm boy attitude I guess. But I have to admit if I was paying me by the hour, I am not a profitable employee of me. :-) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
