BBB 2015 hot tub

[Julian]

Sure I'll bring cash.

Anyone got any veg/misfuel/flammables they can bring for the M67?  I have 40-45l of red diesel+veg mixed ready to go, will also bring some bio, not sure how long that will last.  May have to put a call out on VOD for it.

I can bring 20 ltrs of both, but I'd like the containers back at the end of the day.

What containers are they?

I've got loads of good quality clean 20/25ltr cubies you can have if your short of'm.

I've slung out all my cubies.

This is going to sound really anal, and give the Julian bashers a fieldday, the oil container is part of a matching set that stack, seal and pour really well and that I use for storing excess oil.  My other oil is all in stabbed drums which I don't want to put in the car.  The bio is in my anti-glug pourer, nothing terribly special but I'd like to hang on to it.

By Saturday there will surely be some spares cubies kicking around into which I can decant the stuff.

I will have the empties the red and veg mix is in, should be fine.

Since the water volume is much higher than initially anticipated and I'm not convinced on the flow through hose and coil will cut it I'll bring a much bigger pump so we can pump water directly in and out of the 205 the m67 is in.

To give you guys an idea, when i set my up last week i filled it with cold water from the tap all the way up to full (7500 litres).
I then started heating it. My system has a 15KW oil boiler heating the main pool flow circuit via a 100000BTU/Hr stainless heat exchanger.
It took about 6hrs running and nearly a whole 25 litre can of biodiesel to get it to a comfy 30C. So plan on a long burn to get it warm

I was going to ask if we needed to bring "pool fuel" as well as gambling oil and donation oil.

I have about 15L of red I been wondering what to do with, so I'll bring it along.

[Tony]

We can mix it all up for the M67.  Pool heating aside we can heat water for washing up too.

[Head Womble]

I think I know the answer, but I also have about 15L of veg/engine oil mix, would that be OK in the M67 (if mixed in with the rest) ?

The BBB threads seem to be a little quite this year, I get the feeling that we'll only see the usual suspects and not many new faces, shame if that's the case.

[knighty]

sorry, I ran off to oxford for 3 days in the middle of offering to buy a pool online and then had no internet access to reply!

I'll make sure to bring a tenner with me, and I can bring a decent amount of red too, but won;t be turning up till Friday night



also, I've got a 30m coil of 3/8 copper pipe I could bring down to help the heat exchanger along if that will help ? - but I think I;ll be too late by Saturday :-(

[Tony]

Julian can you reserve stock at the shop to ensure they have it in?

I imagine so but usually you have to pay by card to do so.  I missed a payment which is now covered, but the card's not working.

I'm out most of the day tomorrow, but I'll try giving them a ring before I leave to sus out the situation for Monday.  If Woking don't have one, I'll have to check other stores on route ... I think Argos also do them, but parking at their stores isn't usually as convenient as ToysRus.

[Chug]

I have an oil burner that we can probably setup to heat the outside of the drum too.

[Tony]

Can we get a spare steel drum to the field? I also have a burner which we may be able to use.  But the M67 drum is nicely painted and I was planning on insulation wrapping it.
