Couple of Fatmobile-specific questions- Vacuum, return loop
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2005 9:53 pm
Or anyone can chime in:
1. Pump vacuum guage: Could one use a pump return banjo fitting on the feed side with the large and small barbs for the vacuum connection? Good seals, or cut and tap for standard barb fittings? Wouldn't the pump pull air from the vacuum hose, or would it eventually "neutralize" the air/vs fuel in the line and be OK?
2. If I cannot re-heat my return loop as my filter will be mounted by the tank in the trunk, any other suggestions to keep the fuel warm?
3. On a new system start-up/test, would it be wiser to do get the system operational/ air bubble clear-out with regular diesel fuel- then add WVO?
Thanks; I'm sure there may be others who would also like to know.
Thanks,
Rich
