Title: It's finished
Post by: Rossey on July 09, 2013, 09:40:31 PM: My processor is finally up and running.

Just dewatered my oil, Missus is well impressed I don't stink of oil anymore ;D

Here's some pics

Got one question

If I decide to bubble wash, is it ok to suck back into the processor and dry it using the pd?
And what do you do with the soapy water, will it kill grass?

It's a tiny bit too short so I need to extent the pipe to it first but need the processor to be empty when I do.

I'd change the bowls on your filters, those clear ones crack with bio.

No idea about soapy water and grass.

ok i will get more but not sure when, need to go skip diving again...

Post by: Rossey on July 09, 2013, 10:36:34 PM: Its ok mate, would make more sense if the valve was at the front.
Need to make a batch cos diesels costing me too much.

Then I can sort it out.
