If you use another type of pump other than a centrifugal like the clear water pump, you definitely need to put in a sight tube because the level in the pump line is sometimes not accurate with other pumps. I had bad luck with cheap and small mag-drive stuff, haven't checked the link you

[biofuel] Finished Fuel Shelf Life / Storage

Greetings, Does finished fuel have a limit to shelf life? What about gelling in storage at cold temps? I've heard that some petro diesel users who store on site (farmers) put 2% gasoline in it. (1 gallon per 50). Heresy, I know, but would it work? I'm looking at having 600 gallons or so

Maud, It should work. For what duration I couldn't say. A little low on the horsepower end for pumping warmed veg oil, even though it is rated up to 1.1 specific gravity. It appears to be a 2MD series pump, open enclosure (oxymoron?). The open motor aspect is what would disturb me about its

Too bad they didnÕt mention that a diesel engineÕs saving grace is that it needs to run on biofuel, not diesel fuel. We need to educate and encourage folks to buy a diesel engine and run it on biofuel. Someone needs to make it available at the pump everywhere to make it a viable alternative for

Actually it kind of makes sense, If you run 120 volts through a light bulb made for a 130 volts, they are dimmer and cooler than a 120 volt light bulb of the same wattage, despite the fact that you are using the same amount of electricity. It would make sense then if you are running a 120

Heating elements give off (power * time) joules of energy. power = potential * current so energy = potential * current * time therefore: joules = volts * amps * seconds The energy has to go somewhere, and it only comes out as heat. It is no less efficient at 120v than it is at 240v. Any
