True enough. Maintenance is key. (With everything we do. House, car, garden,
relationships...) In my experience, the gear box gave out before the tubing
did. (Kinda odd) Still, I would expect the tubing to last one heating season.

When I worked at a factory, we used this style to pump water out of the pit
under the foundry pot. As I recall, there was gear noise, but that may have
been because it was metal gears. The nice thing about this
It's been about 4 years for me, and yes, bio-based
oils were/are being tested/used by the larger
utilities. A quick google on bio-based transformer
oil will bring a bunch of hits.

Mike,
Many of the high voltage transformers in
electricity distribution are filled with oil
Coming from a public utility substation maintenance
background, one may or may not be aware that most
transformers used in getting the power to your house
are filled with a highly refined petroleum oil. (it is
clear) It is used as a cooling agent and as an
insulator. There are companies out there

Bob,
I don't disagree that there is an abundance of
waste vegetable oil out there.
General question -Is it really waste when the used
oil is puchased (in larger metro areas) and then sold
to be used in pet/animal food?
I am
