Stop. Don't. Been there, done that. BD won't climb a wick. I got a Kerosun with a wick running on about 40/60 BD/kero but it wasn't worth the hassle. A gun or nozzle style works much better, or google OM-22. It runs well on *good quality* BD cut with a little HHO1. It will run but coke

A long time ago in a land far away my extended family raised Holsteins and had a 2,000 gallon milk pastuerizer. I have seen them as small 30 gallons. Anyone have any idea where I might find a 50 - 100 gallons device? Ebay has been pretty fruitless. I could go to Va, WV, MD or DE for pickup.
