for a mobile transfer pump I went with a gas powered waste pump with 1" lines
I have a honda powered version of this:
Wel-Bilt Water Pump — 1in. Ports, 1585 GPH, 31cc 2-Stroke Engine | Clear Water | Northern Tool + Equipment
for the filtering I use bags and a pump from northern tool -...
the first wrap (least tanjential distance from rotating axis) will have the most strength and slowest speed. as the layers of wrap increase the line feed rate increases and your pull strength is reduced.
heat will travel by conduction - you could have a valve shutting off flow to the filter and the lines would still get hot. heat flow does not indicate fluid flow
still haven't installed mine - it's been on the bottom of the priority list
at the time that I had them made it cost about 200 per wheel including all the new studs, lug nuts and mounting hardware.
you can see the progression i used here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/59289-6-bolt-10-bolt-wheel-adapters.html
sadly i still haven't had time to install them on my truck, you are welcome to look at the cad file though
i think its a good setup - if using a bung valve to remove your oil then that is already a few inches up from the bottom, I would add a petcock drain to the middle of the bottom most section to drain off water with a clear tube.
ran across this New Project: M35 6x6/Hino Hybrid (Yes, THAT one.) - The Something Awful Forums
not the way i expected it to be spliced together but it makes sense and was probably a lot easier.
I've thought about doing a cabover on the deuce when i do the camper conversion. mostly to gain the additional rear space but also for the more modern features of the cab interior.
would be interested in more photos of that.
that's usually the problem, a single dead flat can damage the sidewall leading to an eventual blowout. the failing CTIS system only makes it more likely by causing regular flats.
that's an impressive setup - when you buy those batteries do they come stored dry? I'd like to stock up on some dry batteries so they won't go bad waiting to be used.
