My to do list is down to a couple dozen things to do. I just stopped and looked at the WMO parts pile to evaluate what it would take to make it function. The biggest hang up was no welder. I have it now thanks to a very long and heavy extension cord. Once I catch up on some of the restoration...

Thanks. That is really great feedback. I had the same troubles pouring all my wmo into 5 gallon buckets for storing till I could deal with it. The water was a PITA. Plus I can say that 4-5 mouse carcasses will liquify and definately clog your funnel. Seriously nasty. I have not tried the...

This is my rough mock up. I've been persuaded to use the bigger tank. It needs a pile of work. Brackets cut off, clean up, new bungs welded in, mounts, green paint, etc. The smaller tank is behind it. I am using an old wooden cable spool stand. A drip pan fits well under it all. I can only...

I am still mocking up my set up. All the parts are in a milk crate. I have had to work on must do projects instead of want to do projects. And the snow falls again... Time to go clear off the duece (again). I should have something done inside of six months. (JK):D I'm trying to decide...

I am still looking for a 30 gallon tank. I found a couple dead compressors on CL, but they don't call back. The tote is for bulk storage. I found about 250-300 gallons in small containers. A tote seemed like a good place to store it before cleanup. Snowing like crazy up here!!:)

I found 12 and 24 volt water heater elements from a great link on the bug out thread. They are half way down the page. Great if you are wanting to heat on the go or no power nearby. Some good remote 12 volt security components for who knows what you may build in there also. DC Accessories...

What a beautiful set up. Your information and experience will help others a lot. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to post. Shared knowledge rocks. I also want to thank Chris (Gimp). All the years on here and the Zone and he always steps up. Not just for me but others. That is...

I have searched till my eyes bled. All I gleemed from it was that I ended up confused, tired and hungry. One thing I am not clear on is the process for removing water with heat. I was going to leave my heating tank mostly closed with an opening up top for the funnel. Assuming that water...

You could as gimp says. One on the things I was hoping to retain was portability. I had planned on putting this gizmo contraption on a stand with casters. With a pigtail to plug in I could store it out of the way. I'm short on covered room till a real shop gets done. Then I may go for a more...

I have updated the first post. For a spin on filter set up these numbers are the result of lots of searching with the Napa website and a filter reference book. I wanted big filters with a cheap replacement costs. First stage Racor 5GPM funnel at 149 micron #RFF8C Poured into a 25-30...

Ace hardware has several different 120VAC water heater elements. I did not know they made them. I am back in business and this simplifies things. Most good hardware stores should have them.

I was wondering if 110 would net any decent results. I am going to have to start off with that for now. I am charging ahead on collecting parts, I have most everything. I see now after poking around in my electrical panel that getting 220 where I wanted it is another adventure. Which generated...

Well good. Here is a manufacturer link to a good unit. The drop down list has the right one. OPEN on rise. 2511L002 | 200 L-454 This one is good for 25 Amps at 250VAC. It should be a suitable unit. Thanks Dirt. I am looking into different ways to heat the oil. Has anybody ever used an...

Son ofa .... You are right. It was a late night find after hours of mind numbing searching. Hope Gimp didn't order them. So I suppose you could use it to activate a solenoid to dump the oil to the filters once it gets hot. I think thats to hot though. keep it simple. Thanks Dirt. Back to...

If you are refering to halogens, stay away from them. One of my 4x4 club buds burned down his nice XJ and part of his shop heating some fiberglass work in cold weather. He went in to make a sandwich while the FB cured and a neighbor called to ask if he was burning something. he was, it was a...

Thanks. I spent more time in a napa book and online trying to square away info to post last night. I'll read that thread more when I get back from Napa. I received my snap switches. Nice. I am going to suspend a candy thermometer along with all the other stuff. Off to Napa for post Christmas...

I have a couple questions on seperating water from oil. From what I am reading heating up oil and letting it sit will bring out water suspended in the oil. How long does it take to extract the water? Is it the COOLING process that brings it out? I am refering to water in suspension, not free...

Ha ha! Liz is right here and you're OK for now. :mrgreen: Only 4 years difference this time. I know sorry to disappoint you.:-P I wish stores were open today. I want to get some components for this filter skid. I am currently still undecided on bags or spin on's. I won't be doing a ton of...

Yes. I looked for a while to narrow one down. Then found it at of all places Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Thermostat-Switch-Circuit-200%C2%B0F-Flange/dp/B0026RYYO8/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1324745596&sr=1-2 25.21 for two of them. This kind of seems important for a safety feature using...

Cool! I am starting to get some ideas. In the interest of safety. Last night I ordered a thermal snap switch. I am going to hook up the H20 element in a small tank and control it with a snap switch. Normally closed it opens at 200 and closes the circuit at 185. It was 9 bucks and a lot less...
