Just noticed another issue with the drawings ... none of the graphics show the pressure gauges.

Not a problem AFAIC,shown clearly in the pics so should be obvious

Are we doing a 7% water prewash with the KH Processor?

Yes,i always find it worthwhile

The graphic is wrong, I should have shown the valve open, but I don't see how there's any way to empty the sight tube unless the tank is empty.

Keith said the oil was poured in through the sieve. Are you saying it's pumped in? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick again?

I agree that could be stated, but to keep things consistent with the other processor pages, this one could do with a step by step text, if KH agrees. The notes in the state diagram were only really intended to be very brief. Hence my comment somewhere above.

How do you mean unfinished? If you mean the dotted boxes, I didn't notice those last night ... I've just got a space in the wrong place somewhere which I'll try and sort out later.

re: sitetube

yes i see what you mean i think in reality it can be drained as mine is, as the real one k.h has can do this i think, but the pic as shown cant, so yeah see what you mean...

i empty the tube for cooking else liltte or no heat gets in there so will be unsettled/uncooked oil

As RM says i can actually drain the real one,but is a bit of cross contamination that bad?
On my main processor i never drain down totally between batches,i only worry about the washed and dried fuel,first few litres get bunged back into the tanks along with 50/50,s and 27/3 samples,

Ok ... the next round of changes. Taking replies in order ...

I'll show the sight tube valve open in the graphic, just as it would be when filling (still beats me why one is needed when you can see in the top of the tank, but then I don't have a processor named after me!)

As there's no facility to drain the sight tube on the schematic, shall I leave it full of oil for the duration of the process or would you like me to modify the graphic to show a means of draining?

I'll change the temperatures to 65°C

I think it will be fun drawing the pressure gauges, so I'm happy to show them ... the gauge graphic can always be reused again in the future (unless there are strong opinions against)

I already included the water wash ... I too think it's a great process.

Oil in is described as through the filter, so no change there.

If these are the final comments on the sight tube, ignore the second item above and I'll leave as is.

So, any other changes required .. speak now or for ever ... etc etc.

Keith are you going to do text to accompany each processing stage similar to the other processors?

And have we finally settled on "The KH multi-tosser, sorry tasker" as a title?

Off to the pub quiz now, pick up your replies later.

I was going to attend on the Saturday but I'm a little reluctant now if I'm in "trouble".

Fair point, now I see the logic, thanks.

Keith's choice, but not many people would pass up the chance to be immortalised within the bio-sphere.

I'll try and make the changes this week.

All done.

I noticed another valve in the wrong orientation and changed that too.
