Probably not going to be very popular for this, but I just had another look at the schematic and ...

Now you have introduced a second relief valve for fuel delivery and it now bypasses the pump, I have a suspicion that you don't need the original relief valve, which relieves back to the tank.

Again, releiving back to the tank might stir up the crud in the bottom.

Just got some more fittings and will test your idea tomorrow

for pumping out station it needs to release to the holding tank and not main tank, else it will emulsify

I'm plumbing it so it goes back in just before pump so it should loop when the nozzles shut

That's exactly what I meant. The only possible issue I can see is that if the system's left on re-circ. for a long period, it may heat up. If you are giving it a try it would be very interesting to see how long it takes to reach say, 10/20°C above ambient.

yeah dont suppose it would be on that long at all just to fill a car, i never fill mine to brim very much

but would be good to know if it does rise alot in temp?

OK all the alterations are now done and pics taken,the new valve doesnt affect the pressure at the top two filters to any great extent so the top valve remains but it does stop the strain on the pump with the dispensing nozzle closed as intended, with the bonus that it now keeps the bottom filter within the pressure limit.
As these valves cannot be totally closed the dispensing flow is not "full" on but plenty fast enough
Temp rises- i scrounged up 50 litres and circulated against the closed nozzle for a timed 5 minutes,starting temp 23.1 C ,end temp 30.9 C
Now to load up the pics

hmmm 7.8 in 5 mins is alot... but that is reciculating, getting volume hotter and hotter, going into car will pull through and no return temp to aid volume heating up...

its good it isnt full speed on the flow it may be way too much, so a reduction will be good when filling ya motor

im abit lost as to flow here? when in "dispensing mode" does any oil go back into first tank/processor? or does it all circulate into second holding tank?

what about the valve here?

ignore vlave underneath this writing its a TYPO lol

If you look at your piccy above,bottom left,it should go up,through bypass valve ,left,down into pump then up again,a sorta loop

Not that above,where did that come from?

Rotary-Motion · « **Reply #86 on:** June 18, 2011, 07:54:10 PM »

it is a loop bigger one and V4 shut off

same as yours i just moved it over

Those last two posts have confused me,just look at the schematic with the bypass in the bottom left- it just loops in a small square without going near either tank

Give me 5 mins,i will try ms paint
