Ok all, if you want pictures, you'll have to be nice. The digital camera I have isn't the greatest...right Kaleb?

yea be sure and show me your setup when Im over that way.

The first 2 are adding pressure guages after the filters to monitor how clogged the filters are, and using air pressure to transfer oil by pressurizing the barrels and pushing the oil through the filters. When I get a chance, I will take pictures of my setup for any curious folk.
