Cork floor tile, that's a good idea. I need to order in my plumbing bits from BES so I can also do the pump mounts (both of 'em!).

Got a patch of burn on my arm, must've had it exposed and a bit too close to the arc on the welder yesterday.

I'm a little concerned that mine is a bit high, it currently stands at 2.0m to the tip of the cap on the access hatch, but I have 2.1m to play with in the outbuilding so think it'll be OK.

for port hole windows check out boat chandlery shops, alot do second hand

Though if you put a port hole window on you'll need another vent - maybe best to add it now just in case?

BTW, what fittings did you weld to the outside? Did you use mild steel nipples or "black iron" fittings?

K.H · « **Reply #38 on:** May 08, 2012, 07:41:16 PM »

I used black iron for the 4 bigger ones,one of my mild steel imm sockets which RM kindly gave me back and the others were brass which i silver soldered on incl another imm flange

Ahhh happy days, was showing a workmate the pics from this thread and said I wanted to put feet on mine, and he said, "Hang on, I've got just the thing" and a few minutes later turns up with four 6mm thick blocks 90mm x 200mm pre-drilled with holes in the corners for bolting to floors.

Absolutely perfect! And in continuation of our nautical theme they were going to be engine mounts for his boat but he decided to mount it a different way so these were spare (and just happened to be in his car).

if planning a condenser, you would need the air circulation, on venturis theres 2x valves bottom for pulling meth and top for air intake to get the circulation going through head space and out to condenser...

just like to share with others if people read this build keep the air intake above liquid level, as if a power cut it could syphon contents...

now all this depends how you plumb your system, just would like to share my finding when i built one...

if its been spoken of already feel free to shoot me now
