Yes I have made several small patches with nothing but success so far (just pure dumb luck and a lot of good info) I am currently running it my Kubota lawn tractor and its performing very well. Starts easier runs quieter and has a significant power increase but smells like im cooking fries when mowing. Im convienced the water heater is the wrong proccessor for my project, thinkibg of making a cone bottom from a drum and just insulating and coating it for corrosion.
