RE: [biofuel] Bubble Wash Assembly

RE: [biofuel] Bubble Wash Assembly
Ask Ken Provost about his better longer lasting bubbler. I use it now and it works great. For some reason I was also using standard bubblers that would degrade quite rapidly with BD contact, then I transitioned to Ken's design which is all brass.

The stones degrading is a different issue to their clogging. Most (but not all) of the blue aquarium stones crumble in biodiesel after awhile, so do the grey ones, but the ceramic ones last well, and work well, and they're cheap enough. I've been using ceramic stones for 6-7 months now, no sign of them degrading.

RE: [biofuel] Bubble Wash Assembly
Keith, It seems my bubble stones clog up with soap and sometimes with bd. A basketball pin (I think that's what it's called) is the thin metal tube you insert into a basketball or any other ball to inflate it. I'm thinking that to make a jet of air in water, a strong pump is needed. But perhaps you are right.

Re: [biofuel] Bubble Wash Assembly
Hello Chris Hi all: Could you give your input on this? How about using a basketball pin and a portable air compressor (the kind used to inflate tires) to deliver a jet of air into a bd wash tank? Sounds like severe overkill. But I don't know what a basketball pin is. I found that using aquarium type bubble stones tend to clog up after a few wash. Clog up with what? Best Keith Do you think this idea could work? Thanks, Chris Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-- Buy Ink Cartridges or Refill Kits for your HP, Epson, Canon or Lexmark Printer at MyInks.com.
