    Storage containers outdoors

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I assume by venting everyone means to leave the top cap loose? Won't this help promote moisture, especially as it cools in the evenings? Is there a vented, yet sealed cap for these things? The filtering I'm fine with but water is my number one enemy! Even in my...

    Storage containers outdoors

    I've recently started collecting and filtering wmo. I've purchased several items including (3) 275 gallon poly tank totes to store everything in. My entire setup is outdoors. I receive the oil in mostly 55 gallon barrels and filter to 25 micron into what I call my blend/settle tank. Which is a...

    Black Diesel!!!

    The only info I can find on the 07 John Deere is that it's a Yanmar, model 3TNV84 1.5L non turbo. (32hp) Fuel is direct injection, self bleeding with electric shutoff. Could not find the fuel pressure numbers anywhere. But I don't believe it's a common rail. So I'm just going to have to try...

    Black Diesel!!!

    How new is your bobcat? I've been hesitant to try it in my 07 John Deere utility, my 2000 gator diesel and my 2000 grasshopper with kubota diesel. I know the cummins 12 valve will like it as will the 5 ton. But worried about the others. Has anyone tried in any of these smaller engines?

    Black Diesel!!!

    After some research, I have decided to both filter and centrifuge my oils. Since I'm unsure of where all my used oil is coming from, and knowing most of it is out of diesel engines, I figured the centrifuge would be my best option. I am also about to get a bunch of machining coolants to add to...

    Black Diesel!!!

    I have been looking at his system to purchase as well. But the steep price tag has me nervous... I've read some bad things about the house filters clogging quickly on other sites. Not necessilary on his system, just in general on other home made setups. However he uses the same filter setup...

    Machining coolants

    I'm hoping to stay away from the water base, but will probably have to let it settle out awhile just to make sure. Here in the north, even let it freeze and pull off the top. Hopefully trapping much of the metal in the ice. I have considered getting a centrifuge with this much coolant being...

    2012 vin info thread

    Thats odd, it's titled as a 1966. Not that I'd EVER doubt your all seeing ability. Just wondering who flubbed this one up and if it's worth trying to fix. Thank you very much for your time Carnac!!
